The 4K60/4K65 "Shtorm" (Russian Шторм - Storm, NATO reporting name) SA-N-3 "Goblet" is a Russian naval surface-to-air missile system. Unusually for such systems, it has no land-based counterpart. It was developed in 1956 and deployed during the 1960s.The 41K60/41K65 missiles are carried in pairs on rotating turret launchers and fly at between Mach 2 and 3. They are 6.1 m (20 ft) long, weigh 845 kg (1863 lb) each with an 80 kg (176 lb) warheads. The effective altitude is around 100-25000 m (328-82,000 ft) and the earlier missiles have an engagement range of 3-30 km (2-19 miles) while the 41K65 extends the maximum range to 55 km (34 miles). Guidance is via radio command with terminal semi-active radar homing (SARH).
The radar associated with the SA-N-3 is known as "Head Lights", often found in conjunction with a "Top Sail" search radar.
The initial version of this system, the 4K60 M-11 "Shtorm" with V611 missiles is known to the US DoD as the SA-N-3A. The upgraded version is the 4K65 "Shtorm-M" with V611M missiles and is designated the SA-N-3B.
SA-N-3 systems were installed on Kresta II class guided missile cruisers (two twin launchers; 72 missiles total), Kara class guided missile destroyers (four twin launchers; 80 missiles total), Moskva class helicopter cruisers (two twin launchers) and Kiev class VTOL cruisers (two twin launchers).
