Romanian CA-95 air defense system spotted in Ukraine for first time

Defense Express reported the information.

The Romanian-made system, which closely resembles the Soviet Strela-1, was seen in its original Romanian camouflage. The CA-95 is equipped with four surface-to-air missile launchers, capable of targeting threats at altitudes between 50 and 3,500 meters and a range of 800 to 4,200 meters.

Romania originally built 48 CA-95 systems on the TABC-79 chassis under license for its military. However, it remains unclear how many have been transferred to Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Romanian army now operates an upgraded version, the CA-95M, featuring modernized A95M-RC missiles.
