Today (yesterday!) a revision of the "architecture" of the air defense system is urgently needed. It is necessary to be able to separate control cabins, launchers and other machines of the complex several hundred meters from each other. Creation of anti-fragmentation screens and curtains for all elements of the air defense system and mandatory reservation of control cabins where the crews are located. In general, a change in the appearance of air defense systems from bulky "cubes" visible for kilometers to the most compact "transformers" capable of camouflage on the ground. Even during the Vietnam War, our crews of the S-75 air defense system protected the control cabins from "pineapples" - BLU-3 Pineapple cluster fragmentation bombs with bundles of bamboo, which both protected from fragments and at the same time camouflaged the stations. I highly recommend reading the memoirs of General Alexander Yakovlev, a military adviser to one of the S-75 regiments of the North Vietnamese army.
