If you calculate this movement, you will got the path depicted by the sim.


I don't get it - the half-lead point is the point of impact or what?
It must be the opposite - target and missile are going toward the final point of impact...

See here (middle and bottom diagrams):




In half-lead Method Po (missile o - "Racketa o") and Co (target o - "tzel o"). At moment 0 missile goes with angle (gamma? - cannot see well)/2, and it points at point of impact 0 ("vstrecha 0"). But as this is not the true point (because of the limitation in lead), and at next moment (say moment 2) it goes to the new point of impact, which is closer to the real (final) one, etc.... (Note moment 4, when it is shown what would happen with trajectory of the missile if target do a 180 degrees turn....)
