Hi.

 

I have 2 parts to this question.

 

1) How does a Radar Guided Sam work. You get what I call a single system SAM like a Tunguska or OSA which does all the work, but then you get a Multiple part system like the S-300 which is huge and made up of many parts. So whats the difference between the single and multi part systems? What do the different radars like’ Search, Tracking and Fire Control do??

 

2) Does anyone have a list of each of the component parts of the Multi Part Systems? So what is needed to make a complete system out of the various parts?

 

Thanx

Usually what you need is:

 

Search Radar

Track Radar

Launcher.

 

The BUK11's launchers have a tracking radar built in them, so all they need in addition is a search radar to properly function.

 

I am not sure at the moment what the command centers are there for.:-/

The S-300 paints you with both Search radars (this keeps changing in patches), and only turns on the Tracking radar when the missile is launched. It only needs a TR and one SR to kill you, so unless you kill both search radars (pretty much impossible to do if defended properly), you need to wait to be fired upon in order to hit the TR.

 

And then there's the Buk, whose launchers can engage at shorter range even when the search radar is destroyed. And no site can operate if the Command unit is dead.
