mpdugas Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I watched the mission through, and I thought the objective was to first use both radar antennas to track and shoot the bomber, then a switch to the track-only radar antenna, to find the low-flying fighter target, using the brilliant Soviet engineering. I saw what I expected for the bomber, but I never saw the track-only radar in action; it seemed to be just a WAG shoot-fest, visual only, with no tracking radar in sight. Where was the track-only radar imagery? Did I miss it? The radar simply appeared to be "off" the whole time of the fighter engagement. A simple time track place showing the tracking antenna in action would be great: thanks!! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerNeueMensch Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I thought the same thing, I guess they were already too low for it to be of any use; and so he used the gyro only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus67 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 You use the search antenna to fly towards the target. The tracking antenna will lock the first target it detects.
