That’s correct.
Here is a video about the 2K11. It’s in Polish language but there are subtitles available.

I’ve been thinking a bit about how best to implement this, since the tracking and search radar are each on a separate vehicle, so you practically need to place up to three types of vehicles, which would be highly immobile.
They won’t be including the search radar in the game.
Only the tracking radar and the launcher vehicle will be modelled.

Well. That wont be very effective without searching radar to be honest.
You don’t really need the search radar at this stage of the game.
Besides, they said that they’ll assume that all the other equipment is operational outside of the battle map. So it might still get a search radar, it just won’t be physically there.

Good luck finding targets without search radar at distance 7km+ (minimal shooting distance according to specifications). You definitely need search radar. Question is how it will be implemented - if it will have physical form as another separate vehicle or vehicle on the towing hook of main vehicle, or it will have imaginary form as only search radar monitor. For me personally I dont like last option. It should have some physical form.
The last option is what they are going for, according to what I read.
They wrote that about commander and support vehicles. Not for radar ones.
In the end its up to Gaijin, but I still don’t think you need a search radar, provided you have optical sights and a tracking radar. The in-game stats of the missile and engagement ranges can always be adjusted.
Besides, I think these SAMs need much larger maps anyway, I don’t even know why were they added in the first place. Like even if we have flat maps, what are these SAMs going to do? Spawn camp jets? OSA can do that as it.

As missiles have 7 - 55km range so it need both. Bigger maps and search radar. I have problem find sometimes targets for my Strela-10 which have maximum range 5km. Without search radar, it wouldn’t be viable at such a long distance.
