Moving

I moved this article from NATO reporting name to Russian name Radomil talk 20:31, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I listed this page for speedy deletion because I'd like to see SA-2 Guideline moved back, for a few reasons I'll list on that article's talk page. I cant simply move it to here, for some reason -- probably the fact that this page has a previous edit history. Whatever the case, it's just a redirect and it'll be replaced soon enough. I've also listed that page on the Requested moves page, sicne I wasnt sure which I ought to do... --Oceanhahn 02:34, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dates

From the article:

Over the next year the US delivered a number of solutions to the S-75 problem. The Navy had the Shrike missile in service by mid-August, and mounted their first offensive strike on a site in October.

Um, what years are we talking about here? '65? '66? It says in Gradual Failure: the air war over North Vietnam 1965-1966 that:

"In April 1966 Wild Weasel aircraft were equipped for the first time with the Shrike AGM-45 air-to-surface missile. The Navy had tested the weapon in the north in 1965, and in the spring of 1966 improved models arrived in the war theatre. On the 18th, an F-100F Wild Weasel launched the first Shrike against a SAM site with undetermined results."

This only confuses me about the dates referred to more, though. - Eric (talk) 17:58, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name?

I suspect this page is the victim of a hasty C&P move. It shouldnt have been moved in the first place anyway. (The article is about the S-75, which is what it refers to constantly, rather than SA-2, which is NATO's codename for the same thing.) --Oceanhahn 02:35, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why Article was movbed to SA-2 from orginal name? It should be under it's own, not MNATO reporting name. Radomil talk 20:44, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ground-to-ground mode?

Apparently this could be fired against ground targets (just like the 9m311): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeoDAIeMkxY&feature=player_embedded
I don't have any other references, but it would make an interesting addition to the article if someone knows of an equally convincing and more appropriate (ie. written) citation.--Hrimpurstala (talk) 18:43, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indonesia

In the map of current operators, Indonesia is highlighted. However, in the subsequent list, Indonesia is listed under "former operators". Does anyone know what the actual status of Indonesia's military is regarding this missile?

Strange order

"In addition to the Soviet Union, several S-75 batteries were deployed during the 1960s in East Germany to protect Soviet forces stationed in that country. Later the system was sold to most Warsaw Pact countries and was provided to China, North Korea and eventually, North Vietnam." This seems to imply that the missile was provided to China later then the 1960's when it was responsible for shooting down an aircraft in 1957, the same year major deployments began.--Senor Freebie (talk) 06:00, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Illustations

Libya has been added to the current operators of the S-75 Dvina - it is now missing from the map --Jean-Marc Liotier (talk) 15:12, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also: why Poland is marked on the map, while it is listed within current operators, and not listed within former operators?83.17.84.82 (talk) 16:33, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
