As someone who grew-up during the cold-war i was always fascinated with soviet military hardware:-)
And now we can learn how to operate them....

My first simulator was Su-27 Flanker (release in 1995) and even if the graphics were not really good i always though that the Sam were fairly realistic in that game even more so than in Flanker2.0 its follow up in 2000.

Here is a description the Shilka in the Su-27 Flanker manual ,is this still acurate?

Hello Hornet1a,

Welcome between the SAM troops!

Not really.
It has Pulse-Doppler radar, instead of Continuous-Wave.
(During the Cold-War, only SA-5, SA-6, and the SA-10 used CW radar, all the rest is Pulsed)

The Cold-War era Shilka had no IR sight, just optical.
