Hi I made a bug report for that specific thing for the mig 23s that is currently sitting on accepted.
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/HSeJ1FoUwY4p
I am now going to bug report the over performing mig 25 flight model
thats a wall of text not a source
i have a primary source that is not mentioning PD at all

same doc talking about the Mig-29 radar, which is PD:


and it is directly mentioning the doppler-effect
You mean mti not pd, saphire 23 and 25 never had pd
Can confirm this is true as I’ve used this exact document for my bug report for the mig23 radar
Brodie. Gimme a source that says it uses pd type filtering and not mti based filtering. The mig23 radar manual does not state it has pd based filtering bro
Check out this link where I translated the relevant pages to English for people like you.
Scroll a bit to find the relevant post with all the pages
show me any source that states explicetly that the N-003 is a Pulse Doppler radar, instead of doing mental gymnastics
to be a Pulse DOPPLER radar it has to make use of the DOPPLER effect, hence the name Pulse DOPPLER radar
Both MTI and Pulse Doppler radar rely on the principle of doppler frequency shifts. Sapfir-23ML and Sapfir-25 both used doppler filters, in practice the main difference is the pulse repetition frequency. Below 1.5km the MTI mode heavily relied on PD filters as there was no better way to filter targets against the ground, but still fell into the same radar mode for simplicity’s sake.
MTI compares the doppler shift of the pulse to the doppler shift of the ground instead of a doppler shift calculated by a computer.
RP-23ML and RP-25 were both ‘pulse doppler’ in essence, just not per the usual definition we know from western aircraft.
