Pilotasso Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 If you swich the radar off all the harm has to guide is its inertial system wich has a growing error over time. It wont destroy the SAm unless it hits it directly. And if you get a warning its comming you can also drive a few feet for that to happen unless your unlucky enough to move the same length of the inertial error :D .
Sundowner.pl Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 HARM warhead detonates when the missile hits the target or passes near it, IIRC it have the proximity fuse of AIM-9L. The funny thing is, its 68kg warhead will be to small to absolutely destroy that radar even at direct hit. It will demage it severly, and made it inoperational for some time, but repair is possible. And the beauty of today SAM sites is they can detect missiles coming their way, and automatically shoot them down (like Patriot, TOR or CIWS) or automatically turn itself off (like the Poprad).
