    On SA 13 vehicles what is the box thing fitted between the missile launchers. Are they passive radar detectors? Most of the ships aircraft and vehicles seems to be designed during soviet times, if that is so then they must be very old.

    If you are referring to the box-shaped window below the ranging radar which is between the launcher canisters, that's the operator's position. The passive warning receivers (Called Hat Box by NATO) are located on the hull.

    HAT BOX-B to be precise (), HAT BOX-A was the equipement for SA-9a system (Sa-9b had none).

    4 km. It's a direct fire wepon whose missiles, unlike long-range MLRS like Grad or Smerch comprise to 50% of aerosol mixture and 50% rocket engine. (on MLRS 20% warhead/80% engine). This result in small range but devastating effect on target. 1996 one salvo from one TOS destroyed the complete center of village Komsomolskoye hold by Gelajew-gang.
