| According to Tass news agency on January 9th, all work related to receiving, installing, operating, and putting into use the systems, including training experts for Vietnam right here in Russia, has been completed. Four "Sazhen-TA" missile test launch monitoring systems have been put into operation and are on active duty in Vietnam. (Image source: npk-spp) |

| This system is designed to measure the trajectory of a test object and determine its deviation using a single-station control method with high accuracy. It achieves this by measuring angular coordinates in both the conventional and infrared spectral ranges, along with laser distance measurement of the angle of inclination to the object.

 |
| This also includes recording flight phases during testing of missiles and other aerial vehicles. The mobile electro-optical system “Sazhen-TA” allows for the determination of missile motion parameters with minimum technical standards for the working area. Image source: ifmo.ru |
 |
| This system is highly mobile, mounted on a KAMAZ-43114 vehicle chassis with a K-4310 storage compartment and a power generator, which are installed on an SMZ-782B trailer chassis. This arrangement ensures that the entire system, machinery, equipment, and spare parts can be mounted on a single transport vehicle. Image source: 106eomz.ru |
 |
| Simultaneously, it ensures full operational readiness and long-term maintenance of the system. It also provides comfort and safety for the operating crew during measurement and monitoring of test cases. The system is powered by a 3-phase 380/220 V, 50Hz power supply. Image source: 106eomz.ru |

 |
| All measurement parameters are displayed on the TV screen, along with infrared images of the monitored object. Flashing signals indicate the position of the remote axis and field of view values on the channels in real time and range. Image source: kik-sssr.ru |
 |
| Technical and tactical features of the "Sazhen-TA" system: Operating range up to 1,000 km; observation angle: elevation angle -5 to 95 degrees, azimuth angle 270 degrees; maximum tracking angular velocity not less than 30 degrees/s; range error 0.5 m. Image source: warfiles.ru |
 |
| The acquisition of four "Sazhen-TA" missile test tracking systems marks a new stage in Vietnam's defense industry, following numerous reports of collaborative projects involving the transfer of technology for missile manufacturing. It is hoped that more "made in Vietnam" missiles will appear soon. (Image source: kienthuc) |
