Inaccuracies on BUK-M3 ADMS

That is not a source used in that report.

It’s better !

No matter how hard I look, I do not see any description of designation zone there

Because it is irrelevant , TELAR can scan and track independently.

Im just showing you where the actual numbers for the Viking radar are coming and they are correct !

Just out of curiosity, from what year is it?

Not specified .

Even 20km is enough for the current top tier. More range than that doesn’t even matter. You’ll still hit the airfield at 20km range

Do you know if the original book title (“VIKING” MEDIUM RANGE AIR DEFENCE MISSILE SYSTEM) is in English or Russian? What about the author / publication?

Also, it seems that the only range scale for the TELAR is 80 km (while search radar has 10 - 160 km options). Does that book have any info the range scales for the TELAR?

English
Rosoboronexport

TELAR 120km for a 2-3m^2 at 10km

TAR sadly no

yes, i will get to it in my free time

I’m talking about the radar scope of the Viking, btw. It is fixed to 80 km in the game:

I know

Do you have a brochure for a 9S18M3? I kept looking, but i found nothing

Nope, I have nothing

By the way, I find it rather amusing that this report ( irrelevant no less ) was accepted despite relying on Rosoboronexport documentation, which specifically pertains to the export variant.

In contrast, two of my own reports were closed precisely because they referenced the export version despite being supported not only by Rosoboronexport sources but more importantly by documentation from Almaz-Antey and Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant, both of which are of higher authority.

So @Smin1080p_WT sorry to trouble you, but could you help clarify what’s going on here? There appears to be a significant inconsistency in how reports are reviewed, and this raises legitimate concerns, especially considering it’s far from being the first time this happens !

smin is gone until wednesday or thursday

No problem at all, he definitely deserves some rest. Hopefully, he’ll be able to shed some light on the matter once he’s back.

He deserves a lot more time off, there’s plenty of community managers that should be able to answer this.
