As for "75" it is interesting that according to now declassified CIA materials US military knew already in early 70s that "Fan Song F" ist just modernized variant of older Dvina also avialable to export to other countries and the most advanced variant is "Fan Song E" but western public literature stated for long time that "Fan Song F" is the latest variant and successor to others.

The next major release (probably next year) will contain the S-200VE Vega-E (SA-5B) system.


Well there goes christmas.

James Bond sometimes made mistakes, and when it turned out, they does not changed the sign as that would only made confusion.
For example the SA-2D is mistaken to another system.

There is the SA-5 Griffon, and the SA-5 Gammon.
The former is marking the S-50 Dal (never fielded), the S-200 competitor.

Well there goes christmas.


I cannot promise Vega for Christmas, just a sneak peak of it...

Maybe you can just write the S-200 manual first this time as part of the sneak peek. From the sounds of it, we'll need all the time we can get to study it before actually using the Complex

The manual is written parallel to the program.
I cannot shot pictures, without the working simulator.

Extended plotting board of the SA-5B system...

It almost covers the entire country. LOL

I really like what you're doing here. Unfortunately is too sim for me, hehehe. If at least I can see my missile hit
lol

Though it would be a bit cheap, it should be fun to turn on the Non-Historical mode and engage SR-71s flying over Vietnam with the S-200 - their flight path is not made with that in mind.

Another interesting scenarios is in the cards, for the future release of the sim...
... just imagine:

28th of March, 1985. An SR-71 is taking off from Mildenhall UK, for a routine recce flight of the the Warsaw Pact.
The alarm "JASTREB" (Hawk) sounds, and the whole WarPact air defense goes to alert.
(You can listen the original Jastreb alarm here: http://peters-ada.de/B1_signal%20jastreb.mp3 )

All training flights are immediately landed, to clear the airspace.
"FANTOMAS" (codename of the MiG-25PD) is taking off from Finow-Eberswalde GDR, to fly parallel track, and be ready just in case.
The "VEGA" (SA-5B Gammon) complexes are in Alert One, missiles are on the launchers, at ready to launch state.

Everybody is looking at the radar scopes...
red - Jastreb (SR-71)
green - Fantomas (MiG-25PD)
yellow - E-3A AWACS
purple - KC-135



and the plotting chart


The Jastreb makes a turn in the narrow airspace of the BRD, and returns to the UK...
... another "normal" day of the Cold War passed without any incident.

Hi,

looks very promising. please consider, that during the cold war the actual map of eastern europe looked different: the CSSR was one country (chechoslovakia), as was yugoslavia (no croatia, no serbia, no montenegro etc.)...

Hi Pham Tuan,

Trust me, I lived there personally.
Few pictures, that might made you happy, regarding the future of the SAM Simulator...





BR,

PS: if you know what system is in the picture, than your nick is a bit closer to the real Pham Tuan...

S-200VE Vega-E (SA-5B Gammon) Target Tracking Officers DV (distance/velocity) indicator, in speed search regime.

Anybody could recognize the system above?

SA-2 is as specific as I could get.

Dvina. Cabin for optic guidance in the first photo.

Correct.


This is the SA-75MK Dvina (SA-2F) the "export" version.

I think it will be an eye opening experience for all of you, who taken the time & trouble to learn to operate the S-75M Volhov (SA-2E) [WarPac version], to find out the difference to the "export" version.

Here it is in Vietnam:

S-200VE Vega-E (SA-5B Gammon) simulator in the works screen-shots...

Might be a not well known fact, that the Vega is capable to determine the target type, by analyzing its Doppler spectrum, and radar echo strength versus its range.
It is called by the west: NCTR (Non Cooperative Target Recognition).


Boeing B737 Doppler spectrum


MiG-21MF Doppler spectrum


Cessna C-172 Doppler spectrum

Let me just say this about that: That is cool as hell.

That is all.
