S-300 missile system can engage targets out to and up to altitudes of around . In both cases the warhead is around . Radar modes are different and it requires the use of all methods of jamming, while S-300V system works completely passive mode. While it was created from the same project, hence the common S-300 designation, different priorities resulted in a design quite different from the other versions. The S-300V system is carried on tracked MT-T transporters, which gives it better cross-country mobility than even the S-300Ps on 8 × 8 wheeled transporters. It is also somewhat more distributed than the S-300P's.
