Trumpeter 02353 Soviet 5P71 Launcher with 5V27 in 1/35 scale is a precisely reproduced plastic model of a rocket launcher, an essential component of the Soviet S-125 “Neva” anti-aircraft missile system. This model allows you to build a faithful replica of the compact 5P71 launcher equipped with the 5V27 missile, which played a significant role in both Soviet and global air defense history in the second half of the 20th century.

The 5P71 launcher with the 5V27 missile was developed in the Soviet Union as part of the S-125 system, designed to protect strategic targets from aerial attacks. This system was widely used from the late 1960s, both by the Soviet Army and other Warsaw Pact militaries, as well as countries in the Middle East. This type of launcher played a significant role, for instance, in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, proving its effectiveness against modern aircraft. The S-125 system remained in active use into modern times, with some variants still in service after the year 2000.
