VKing Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 I understand the Tunguska uses command guidance for its missiles and has an optical tracking system, allowing it to fire without giving RWR indication of a radar lock. However, it appears to be able to do so even through clouds and 100% cloud cover, where, I believe, it would have to use its tracking radar in order to guide missiles. Tracks attached doing the same test in the F-15 and F-18, showing the 2S6 firing missiles without a radar lock through ~650 feet of 100% overcast.Tunguska_SACLOS_thru_clouds.trkTunguska_SACLOS_thru_clouds_F-15.trk
