Hi Red_Camarada,
Hi AdrianL,
I am too scared to ask the topdogs of this forum and molest them with a permission. And I am sure they got far better docs than i got. Below some pictures of "telephone pole"-strikes and some links, send me a message if u aint satisfied.
The S-75 / SA2-missile had a huuge Frag-HE warhead of 195 kg (430 lbs). The 2-stage (solid fuel booster and a liquid fuel upper stage which burned toxic TG02-fuel) missile itself was called "flying telephone pole" by the US pilots in the Vietnam theater. It had an accuracy of 65m (210 ft), hence the huge warhead. One SA2 system could engage only one target, however the radio command guidance of the missile system had 3 channels, therefore it was possible to have 3 missiles in the air against one target.
Here is a nice pic of a S-75:
