About Shtil Missile:
It is a medium-range, ship-based, vertical-launch surface-to-air missile (SAM) system developed by Russia.
It primarily uses the 9M317ME semi-active radar homing (SARH) missile.
It is designed to defend warships from aerial threats such as helicopters, supersonic fighter aircraft, anti-ship cruise missiles, and drones.
It can engage up to 12 targets simultaneously.
It has a range of 3.5 to 50 km and can engage targets at altitudes between 5 meters and 15 km.
The Shtil SAM system uses the information provided by the ship's 3D radar system.
