Also, what's a "supervisor target" and a "rule violator target"?
That info would be useful for the translation, I fear doing a "word-by-word" translation and lose the real meaning of the words...

Thank You once again smile


0 – jamming target
1 – friendly target (our armed fighter)
2 – identified target (our unarmed fighter with IFF on)
3 – border violator (previously unannounced target, that violated our airspace. This is when the adrenalin started...)
4 – supervisor target (WarPact level target to check the air defense readiness. You need to imitate missile launches against it, and prove it later.)
5 – own target (our fighter flying to practice the air defense batteries)
6 – rule violator target (our civil or fighter plane, in a wrong place or altitude)
7 – practice target ("paper dragon", target exist only on the plotting board)
8 – enemy (wartime, shot at it with live missile)
9 – target without IFF (our unarmed fighter with IFF off)
