The Ukrainian built MT-T chassis is the baseline vehicle employed for all key components of the S-300V family of SAM systems. Not only are the 9A82 and 9A83 TELARs  and the 9A84 and 9A85 TEL/Transloader vehicles based on the MT-TM, but also the 9S457 mobile command post, the 9S15 Bill Board acquisition radar, the 9S19 High Screen ABM early warning radar, and the 9S32 Grill Pan engagement radar. The S-300V was developed to provide SAM/ABM cover for Soviet heavy armoured formations and thus required cross country capability competitive against Soviet MBTs. The MT-TM is derived from the T-64 MBT and met this requirement.

The 9A84 and 9A85 TEL/Transloader vehicles are similar to the 9A82 and 9A83 TELARs, but lack the X-band illuminator antenna employed for missile terminal guidance. Instead, these vehicles have cranes mounted to perform loading and transloading to TELARs of missile round tubes.
