The parachute mode, and the not too impressive max range not really answer the hype of the Alarm. Or?


Based on what I knew about SA-10, it cannot see the object on chute....


Contrary to the Patriot, the S-300PMU battery has 3 radar sets.
- 36D6 (Tin Shield) could detect the ALARM in both modes
- 76N6 (Clam Shell) could detect the ALARM while it is approaching, could not detect it under the parachute
- 30N6 (Tomb Stone) could detect and engage the ALARM while it is approaching, could not detect it under the parachute
