👉 The CZ M-84 "Cz" missiles were a family of surface-to-air missiles developed and manufactured by Czechoslovakian company CZ Group, later known as the Czech Missile Systems Company (CMSCO). These missiles were primarily used by the Czechoslovakian Air Force and later adopted by other nations, including the Czech Republic's successor state, the Czech Republic itself. The CZ M-84 featured a unique design with a hypersonic boost phase, allowing it to reach high speeds and evade most radar systems. Initially equipped with a 9.2 kg TMP-27 rocket for the shorter-range variant and a 12.7 kg R-84A rocket for the longer-range, multi-stage version, the Cz missiles were capable of engaging high-altitude targets. Their deployment marked a significant advancement in air defense capabilities, particularly in countering fast-moving threats like MiG-21s and MiG-23s.
