Inaccuracies on BUK-M3 ADMS

These systems do not get DL from them CCP. SLM CCP does not provide any DL to the missile, it connects the radar and launchers to eachother, as well as connecting them to the bigger RAP. It is the launcher that provides the DL. Number of missiles guided by SLM launcher at one point is not known, so gaijin just gave it 4.
Just like Buk CCP does not provide DL to the missiles. It just passes targets from the TAR, that can aquire x amout of targets, to the Launchers that engage them.

C is in IEEE, game operates in NATO.

I know hence why i said band should be C since it covers both G and H nato bands .

Radrs in game cover one band, gaijin just choses one.

I know, doesn’t make it less wrong .

Launcher/TEL just transmits ( it’s an antenna nothing more ) it’s the CCP that provides fire control / guidance update commands ( read the brain ) :

Yes, CCP calculates that in SLM case. Still does not change the fact that data is transmitted to the launcher, and then launcher transmits it to the missile.

Ok, i will make it simple

SPFU develops and transmits data to the missile, not CCP, not TAR.
The only reason it cant be used, is because TAR in this brochure is 9S38.

That is exactly what im saying. As i told you the game doesn’t care about the entire chain of execution.

  • TAR transmits target data to the CCP .
  • CCP calculates missile correction commands .
  • CCP transmits data to the TEL .
  • TEL transmits command to the missile .

Same applies to BUK-M3

  • TAR transmits target data to the CCP ( or TELAR directly ) .
  • CCP calculates missile correction commands .
  • CCP transmits data to the TELAR ( TELAR own radar/control unit can also perform that task independently ) .
  • TELAR transmits command to the missile .

The game goes directly from TAR to missile skipping the intermediary steps hence why both TAR in the game receive DL .

CCP solving is not a universal thing.
For example TanSAM-kai has no CCP, all is done by the launcher. Radar provides DL when launcher has no DL antenne installed.
Land Ceptor (Sky Sabre launcher) Preforms all the solving by itself, CCP only connects it to the radar.

Target designation to the launchers, not target engagment. Designation is giving data to something else.
information preparation and development of the optimal variant for solving the problems of target distribution and issuance of target designation of SPFU and TIGR using digital maps of the area;
It is not missile trajectory, it is giving target to the optimal SPFU/TIGR, out of the 6 located in different spots, each able to engage 6 targets at once with their own radars, 36 in total.

This is LMUR, Kh-38 all over again, there is some mention of BUK M3 with an ARHM but we cannot find any data on it or images.

With Russia moving to the S-350V I would be surpised if they have even bothered ordering the BUK M3 in large numbers. The S-400 and S-500 systems deal with long range threats the long to medium is dealt with by the S-350 systems and SHORAD is the Pantsir system.

I have also been unable to find more than a single image of a BUK M3 used in a certain conflcit but the M1 and M2 variants have been seen.

I do not understand why Gaijin cannot model Russian vehicles realistically.

The only difference between IRST-SLM and BUK-M3 is that unlike IRST-SLM that has IRL to rely on the CCP BUK-M3 TELAR can perform independently. Which in the game translates to BUK-M3 being able to survice even in the TAR is destroyed ( and thus the invisible CCP that goes with it ) .

IRIS-TSLM is so far ahead of BUK systems I dont think you appreicate how good that system is.
99% interception rate vs Cruisemissiles and drones

idk how many buk m3 they ordered. but they actively use 9M317M in their ships (could also be MA but there is no way to tell) on their ships (shitl-1) https://youtu.be/ulYEWf0NdhE?si=TjJppEHKbhd-FnvI&t=18

Shtil 1 uses SARH missiles

There are primary documents on both AGMs mentioned there !

Thank you for the good laugh XD.

you are right


but the issue is these images are from 2000s/ early 2010s they have had plenty of time for a new variant/upgrade . i think another issue is that it does not explicitly state that the 9M317M is a sarh missile.

There is nothing wrong with a SARHM missile for the ranges BUK can intercept
And I suppose thats the mindset, what I dont see is the waste of resources to build an ARHM which is already superceeded by new systems like the S-350
