In the published images, the CA-95 stores the original Romanian camouflage, but Randel (emblem on military equipment-ed. Despite the lack of official applications by the Ministry of Defense of Romania and Ukraine, the Ukrainian air defense units confirmed the deployment of the system.

The system is designed to intercept low -flying goals - aircraft, helicopters, drones and winged missiles - at altitudes from 50 to 3500 meters and at a range from 800 to 4200 meters. It consists of four launchers of anti -aircraft missiles and two spare ammunition. The base for the CA-95 is the TABC-79 armored personnel carrier-an amphibian wheel platform with a crew of three people and the possibility of transportation of four paratroopers.

It is equipped with a Saviem 798-05 N2 diesel engine with a capacity of 154 hp, which provides a maximum speed of 80 km/h and a margin of 700 km. Views note that although the CA-95 is an outdated system, its use in modern conditions shows that even relatively old decisions can effectively perform air defense tasks.

Thus, in Ukraine, the anti -aircraft installation can play an important role in the protection of critical objects and positions of the Armed Forces from the threats that fly low, especially in the conditions of intensive use by Russian aviation and drones. This weapon can also be upgraded. For example, Romania initially released 48 such systems, of which about 40 remain in service in the modernized variant of the CA-95M.
