The SA-28 "Gobblet" is the standard combined system that follows armored forces. The system uses a combined gun/missile combination to achieve a high rate of kill when opposing aircraft. Each side of the turret has two 30mm 2A56 automatic cannons in an over/under configuration. To the side are four 9M44 "Gobblet" missiles in an independently elevating mount. The hull is that of the SA-31 "Gooseneck" SAM system, but is modified in the rear for a large container to house extra missile reloads. The SA-28 however is designed to protect units either statically or mobile protection. The stabilized turret is good for weapons firing, however it is not good for using the guns, since relative movement is somewhat difficult to do, even in this day and age.
The SA-28 mounts four 9M44 missiles on each side of the turret alongside two over/under 30mm 2A56 cannons with a high rate of fire. Each of the cannons has it's own ammunition feed, to prevent any damage from silencing the guns. Though in the field this adds to the reload time, the redundancy has allowed it to keep on fighting when damaged extensively. The turret mounts both the search radar, the rear large dome on the turret. It has a maximum range of 15 kilometers, and incorporates the latest software. The front of the turret mounts the engagement radar, which designates the target for the missiles. The missiles themselves are active radar homing, and can follow targets on their own for maximum lethality. A standard 9M44 has a range of only 12 kilometers. This obviously prevents it from long range targets, but is designed for close in protection for troop movements, etc. It is designed to shoot down standard combat aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs. Further enhancements include the use of the Battletac FDDM for a complete air defense network. Each missile comes in it's own container/launch tube, and each pair of missiles can elevate independently of any other weapons. All four obviously can be elevated as needed. A standard optical sensor system is mounted for heavy EW environments or if the weather neccitates it's use. Each vehicle carries eight missiles in a large cargo bin that has shockproof sealing to prevent the delicate missiles from being destroyed by shocks of the vehicle.
Deployment of the SA-28 is dependant on mission requirements, but is nominally assigned to each Motorized Rifle Regiment in Platoon sized elements per Battalion, with four vehicles being deployed.
