The 54K6E "Baikal" command post is the central element of the S-300PMU-2 air defence system. It plays a key role in coordinating the actions of fire units, radars, and cooperation with higher command structures. "Baikal" enables effective control over the deployment and tasks of missile batteries, is responsible for data transmission on targets, interaction with other weapon systems, and the management of air defence over large areas. In actual use, these vehicles have taken part in exercises such as "Zapad" and have been exported to several countries, including China and India.

We rate the assembly difficulty level at 4/5 – the small parts and high level of detail offer a fair share of challenges that experienced model-building aficionados will appreciate.
