The Kill chain of a MANPADS begins at knowing that a target (in this case bombs) are incoming.
This trigger starts a reaction time to put the launcher on the shoulder and to begin to look for targets in the desired direction.

Secondly the shooter should acquire the target, seeing the target with ...

Nice timing, just for the weekend...I won't leave my room coming days
Thank you guys for all the effort!

Or just make an account?
Done in 30 seconds..

It took a while to find it, but this is an interesting read for the Soviet timeframe:

https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/1982-02-08.pdf
Quite detailed from page 9 onwards.

Are you familiar wit this map?

There is more on the internet about the Sovjet amphibious assault plans.

Ohh it was so useful

Update/Correction Request

Lets look at Air-to-Air missiles vs. bombs

I did a small test.
2x Scenario's attached: - PGM hit test.scen is early-on (gives you the ability to tweak yourself).
- PGM hit test_engagement.scen (is at the moment of...engagement) as the name implies.

Normally the engagement head-on is at the last ...

See it as a radar especcially developed for low altitude detection.

The first F-35's arrived in Belgium.
This deserves a picture

@nogravity , great work, and thank you for sharing!

Would you be helped by this?

I made some for the cold war 1989.=. They are single airfield only to save on the amount of units. The runways are supposed to be oriented towards the right direction.

I think you looked (again) too fast...

If you select the side shooter (as is the case in the screensot below), you don't see the P-18 which is present and active just as you presented it.
And yes you are very obvious...
Thanks for sharing your setup.

My point was that in your setup (as decribed below) I got no speed and altitude from the target. It was displayed as XX.
See the comparison (3rd image).
So I tried to find the reason and did not find it.

As a sum up:

You deleted the P-18 Spoon Rest radar out of the SA-2 Guideline sensors

You attached the Spoon Rest radar to another side: "EYES"

Interesting results!
I also placed a standard CMO SA-2 Guideline facility (with only the Spoon Rest operating) in ...

Somebody pointed me towards an old "X" post from january where a group of guys checked all the Russian airfields on Google Earth and which aircraft where present.
Yes there are a lot of things you can say about which aircraft is operational or not, see at als a nice jumpstart!

Maybe nice for ...

Very interesting thewood1

Would you be able to share an example maybe? That would help to get an idea which events you would have to make.

Interesting
This is the reply from ChatGTP:

Detection is possible in principle if the IR sensor has very high sensitivity and favorable conditions (clear skies, missile not masked by terrain or sea clutter).
In practice, detecting low-observable cruise missiles from space is extremely challenging ...
