Russian surface-to-air missile. Even before development of Strela-2 was completed, work began on the improved Strela-2M. This had improved range, was able to engage targets flying as fast as 940 kph, and could intercept low-speed targets (up to 540 kph) even when launched from the side. It also had some ability to ignore decoys and other countermeasures. It was accepted for production in 1970.

Maximum speed: 1550km/hr. 50 m minimum altitude.
