Latakia SA-2 Site Inaccuracies

[Northstar98]

Hi everyone.

 

I've noticed some inaccuracies with the SA-2 site about 1.5nm to the north-west of Bassel Al-Assad Airport/Khmeimim/Latakia Air Base; N35°24.767', E035°55.321'.

 

Here's a picture of what it looks like IRL:

 

 

And here's the same location in DCS at roughly the same zoom level and positioning:

 

 

Here I've placed the FCR and launchers at the exact same coordinates as they are in real life.

 

 

 

FCR: N35°24.767', E035°55.321'

Northern Launcher: N35°24.808', E035°55.343'

North-Western Launcher: N35°24.786', E035°55.294'

North Eastern Launcher: N35°24.781', E035°55.377'

South-Western Launcher: N35°24.746', E035°55.288'

South-Eastern Launcher: N35°24.742', E035°55.375'

Southern Launcher: N35°24.728', E035°55.329'

 

 

 

Of particular note:

• The overall site layout seems fairly squished vertically/misshapen.
  
• The south-western launch position is absent.
  
• There are revetments where there should be dirt tracks.
  
• There are some inconsistencies with the revetments around the launchers, but this is minor.
  
• The central guidance area (where the FCR is) features no dirt tracks, revetments or details.
  
• There's a medium-sized grey building, where there should just be dirt/concrete pad.
  
• There aren't any small dirt tracks connecting the revetments.
  
• The elevation data for the site seems off, comparing against Google Earth and DCS.
  

 

I might give annotating and superimposing the images over each other if I have more time.
