This model has been inspired by the 9K35 Strela-10 mounted on the MT-LB chassis. The texture represents one of the camouflage patterns used by this vehicle.
The model itself was created in a way that makes it suitable for easy rigging and animation. This means that parts that are commonly animated are separate objects (tracks, wheels, missile launcher components etc).
To change the texture (in Blender), simply select a different texture under the skin material.
- This model does not include a modeled interior.
The 9K35 Strela-10 (NATO reporting name SA-13 Gopher) is a Soviet short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system designed to provide mobile air defense for mechanized and armored units. Introduced in the 1970s as a successor to earlier short-range air defense systems, the Strela-10 was developed to engage low-flying aircraft, helicopters, and later unmanned aerial threats.The system carries four ready-to-fire 9M37 infrared-guided missiles mounted on launch rails above the turret. Additional missiles are typically stored inside the vehicle for reloading. The Strela-10 uses optical tracking and passive infrared guidance, allowing it to engage aerial targets without relying on active radar emissions.Mounted on the highly mobile MT-LB tracked armored chassis, the vehicle benefits from excellent off-road mobility, amphibious capability, and low ground pressure, enabling it to operate effectively alongside mechanized infantry and armored formations in difficult terrain. Powered by a diesel engine, the vehicle can reach speeds of around 60 km/h while maintaining strong cross-country performance.The Strela-10 system has been widely used by Soviet and later Russian forces, as well as many other countries around the world. Over the decades it has undergone several upgrades to improve missile guidance, resistance to countermeasures, and overall effectiveness, allowing it to remain relevant on modern battlefields.This Strela-10 (MT-LB) 3D model is well suited for military games, real-time engines, simulators, VR projects, and defense visualizations, providing a detailed representation of one of the most recognizable Soviet mobile short-range air defense systems.
