In Ashuluk, you must probably have bought some 'economy' version of shooting practice. Soviets did not bother about environment, and DDR veterans mention lots of chaff among other attractions awaiting them at Ashuluk in 1987... But, in fact, there are other indications that their turnus was really 'deluxe gold'.

In Ashuluk jamming was simulated by a small box placed before the SNR.
Flying targets were not jamming.


OK, so I just would like to make sure how radio fuse is activated at Dvina. Is it, like in Volhov, by sending K3 some short time before reaching range boresight? What distance / time period is that?
Have you modelled any other aspect of USU/no-USU than sensitivity? I mainly mean directional warhead effectiveness versus various approach speed of the target.


???
At the Volhov, you have these methods...
ZEMLJA - ground - detonate missile by command
STAN - arm the fuse 300m before the range boresight - detonate by radio proxy fuse
RAB PO ADA - against spy balloons - detonate missile by command, well before the target
ZAGRUB RV - reduce fuse sensitivity to avoid detonation by chaff
ZAGRUB RV USU - reduce fuse sensitivity to avoid detonation by chaff with USU missiles
NLC USU - gate fuse sensitivity to 100m against low flying targets
NC USU - used with nuclear missiles
RAB OT VM - arm the fuse 11sec after launch - detonate by radio proxy fuse
RAB PO K3 - detonate missile by K3 command

At the Dvina, you have these methods...
ZEMLJA - ground - detonate missile by command
RAB PO ADA - against spy balloons - detonate missile by command, well before the target
11 SEC - arm the fuse 11sec after launch - detonate by radio proxy fuse
RAB OT RV - arm the fuse 300m before the range boresight - detonate by radio proxy fuse
RAB PO K3 - detonate missile by K3 command for incoming targets - used against low flying targets
DOGON - detonate missile by K3 command for receding targets (Dvina has no K4 command to transmit the missile/target closure speed)


About that missile channel jamming - so, during Linebacker II, no missile jamming was recorded to have any effect? Is something about it in this Russian manual?

Missile channel jamming was not noted in Russian sources, as it had zero effect since the V-750VMK missiles were used.
Interestingly, the US TAC HQ were known this, and the Weasels/F4's were not jamming this channel for several years.
This info was lost in the USAF organization, so SAC HQ had no knowledge of it.
All B52's were instructed to jam the missile downlink signal channel, using up valuable jammers for no effect...
nope

Training was the same for all WarPact nations.
These were tough events, failure would cause the resignation of the nations Defense Minister!!!
During '88, the Hungarians were the first WarPact nation to shoot with a Russian S-300PS battery together.
In '89, they faced the RM-217 Zvezda (simulating the F-117A Stealth), and shot it down. (one of the program testers were the battery commander thumbsup [somebody who shot the Stealth before Zoltan Dani did it in real life...])
