forces in Vietnam, because the Soviets feared that China (after the souring of Sino-Soviet relations in 1960), through which most, if not all of the equipment meant for North Vietnam had to travel, would try to copy the missile.

The Neva-M introduced a redesigned booster and an improved guidance system. The original version was designated SA-3A by the US DoD and the new Neva-M named SA-3B and (naval) SA-N-1B. In 1964, an upgraded version of the system, the S-125M 'Neva-M' and later S-125M1 'Neva-M1' was developed. The S-125 was first deployed between 19 around Moscow, augmenting the S-25 and S-75 sites already ringing the city, as well as in other parts of the USSR. Operational history Soviet Union Ībandoned Soviet S-125 missile near Saare, Saaremaa, Estonia. The naval version of this system has the NATO reporting name SA-N-1 Goa and original designation M-1 Volna (Russian Волна – wave). The S-125, like the S-75, uses radio command guidance. The 5V24 (V-600) missiles reach around Mach 3 to 3.5 in flight, both stages powered by solid fuel rocket motors. It is also able to engage lower flying targets than the previous systems, and being more modern it is much more resistant to ECM than the S-75. It has a shorter effective range and lower engagement altitude than either of its predecessors and also flies slower, but due to its two-stage design it is more effective against more maneuverable targets. The S-125 Neva/Pechora ( Russian: С-125 'Нева'/'Печора', NATO reporting name SA-3 Goa) is a Soviet surface-to-air missile system that was designed by Aleksei Isaev to complement the S-25 and S-75.
