The Gecko was the first mobile, terrestrial SAM system in the world to combine its air defense missiles and its radar systems onto one vehicle. Both the radar and missiles were previously deployed on the Slava class cruiser. Yes, you read that right. This thing was intended to be built into warships. Evidently when the Russians learned about the proposed US Mauler system they were so concerned that rather than bothering to design an equivalent system, they just found a truck big enough to carry a stripped down NAVAL anti-air system.

	Known as the "'''9K33 Osa'''" in Russia and the "'''SA-8 Gecko'''" in NATO, the Gecko is a low-altitude surface-to-air missile launcher, designed to take out low-flying aircraft, like helicopters or planes flying low. Larger than most, the Gecko sports a sophisticated radar system, not found in most mobile SAM launchers at the time, allowing it to track targets more effectively, than it's cousins.
