After the missiles were launched, the target started a gentle climb, with a moderate left turn.
(this action did not influenced the missile guidance)
There were no jamming.

The only trick is at the Neva SIM documentation, where it states the Neva detection range against a MiG21.
yep


The detection range is 80 km. As we all together find the way to calculate RCS and predictable detection ranges, we found that Neva should be capable of succesful acquisition at about 13.5 km, and TRACKING at about 8.5 km... I think that the RCS from the side is bigger, so those distanse are not constant.... If upper mentioned distanses are correct, this is the only possible explanation....
