PPSD-20

The PPSD-20 is a Zolevskoyan long/medium range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system that was developed and produced by Rogol System Inc.

Design and development
A complete battery consists of up to six 8-cell transporter erector launchers (TELs), a passive electronically scanned array (PESA) X-band multi-function phased array 3D radar, and a fire command vehicle. The radar rotates 360 degrees at a rate of 40 rpm, covering up to 80 degrees in elevation. It can detect targets within 100 kilometers and track up to 40 targets simultaneously.

The PPSD-20 is the middle-tier of Zolevskoy's three-tier aerial and missile defense system. The PPSD-20 can intercept targets up to an altitude of 20 km at a max range of 40 km. It was designed to replace 9K37 Buk batteries in Zolevskoy and be made available for export.

The Republic of Zolevskoy Air Force revealed in mid-2015 that the PPSD-20 would soon enter mass production and begin delivery to the Air Force that September, replacing the Buk missile that had been in Zolevskoyan service since 1980. The system can intercept up to six targets simultaneously, and the missiles have anti-electronic warfare capabilities to keep functioning despite jamming. The system passed the military's operational requirement verification test in July 2015, and began deployment near the Ordian border in January 2016.

Operational history
The PPSD-20 first saw major combat use in the Ausferilandian Civil War and the Zolev-Volgarian War. During the course of the latter war, PPSD-20s were responsible for destroying TBD% of all air targets of the pro-rebel forces. In the system's first major trial by fire, they were used to successfully intercept Volgarian ballistic missiles that had been launched at Zolevskoyan and Ausferilandian forces, with the results impressing RZAF and ANDF commanders alike. Out of the 14 missiles fired, 10 were successfully intercepted, while 2 missiles malfunctioned in flight. Although 2 missiles landed on their targets, they were not within range of the PPSD-20's missiles.
