Yes, but why missile flew this way when should be locked to the target 32km far? Plamja uploads flight program selection to missile, so I do not understand it. Especially when I take launch photo into account - 40db for a (large) target 250km far?
The graph was made by the Interstate Aviation Committee. The 03a md-expert findings20100521.pdf document contains testimony from court expert witnesses refuting the IAC's claims. They state that the missile trajectory, in the horizontal (p. 17) and vertical planes, does not correspond to how the 5V28 actually operates.
They also note that the VR-3 was shot down by an S-300PS at 12:42, followed by the shutdown of the 5N62 at 12:42:20, which was long before the supposed Tu-154 destruction time of 12:45:00.
