GAURD - MORFEY TO THE SA-21 GROWLER

Let us clarifies you SA-21 in itself is not capable of defending itself or we can say Morfey is developed just as a preventive measure keeping in mind.

A separate independent air defense system 42S6 Morfey (Morpheus) is being developed.

This system is designated as short-range air defense system to protect the S-400 from various threats at their terminal phases,

and will also act together with the S-350E as a supplement to the SA-21 Growler. Together, these systems form part of the Aerospace Defence Forces.
