- For the killstreak reward in Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3, see SAM Turret.
SAM (Surface to Air Missile) is a mounted turret, and its purpose is to shoot down enemy aircraft. It is seen in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

SAM sites are seen in Shock and Awe, trying to shoot the US Marines' helicopters down. They are destroyed by Paul Jackson.

SAM sites take a bigger role in this game. They are introduced in The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday, where they must be taken down before Task Force 141 can move on to the The Gulag. They are also seen in Of Their Own Accord, where the Rangers have to destroy them so evacuating forces can safely move in the airspace.
