👉 Buf missiles, also known as Buf-1s or Buf-2s, are a type of short-range air-to-surface missile developed by the Russian military. They are designed to target and destroy fixed ground targets such as tanks, artillery positions, and other military vehicles within a limited range, typically up to 5 kilometers. Buf missiles operate by using a radar-guided system that allows them to lock onto and engage their targets autonomously or with remote guidance. These missiles are relatively simple in design compared to more advanced missile systems, making them cost-effective and easy to deploy. The Buf family includes several variants, including the Buf-1, Buf-2, and Buf-3, each with varying levels of accuracy and range.
