The Pechora 2M upgrade includes a fully mobile Low Blow offered on alternative MZKT-8022 truck chassis (Defense Systems).

Russian and ByeloRussian industry via a joint company, Oboronitelnye Sistemy, developed  the Pechora 2M upgrade package using a wheeled TEL, and the system was exported to Egypt in 2006. The system is designed to deploy and stow in 25 minutes. The upgraded  5V27D and 5V27DE missiles feature new fuses and warheads, and the electronics have been comprehensively upgraded with digital hardware, an electro-optical tracker has been added. An interesting feature of this design is that the 5P71 launcher has been transplanted on to a 6 x 6 MZKT-8022 truck, as has the SNR-125 Low Blow engagement radar. Egypt is cited as the first export client. This Technical Report annex contains imagery of a production Pechora 2M system at MAKS2011, authored by Michael Jerdev.

MZKT-8022  5P71 TEL The MZKT-8022 is an unusual design, built specifically for this TEL application. To date no images of a specialised transloader/transporter have been seen. Note the support clamp for the missile on the launch rail.

SNR-125-2M Low Blow Engagement Radar Low Blow deployed. Low Blow stowed, but outriggers deployed. The design retains the legacy antenna components.
