Why so much?

It's command guided, so no complex sensors. And proximity fuses can fit in a 40mm shell, so that shouldn't take much room.

I would rather trust the official operations manual, than Wiki or FAS...

Perhaps the discrepancy in range relates to maximum kinematic vs effective engagement envelope, possibly limited by battery life or other consumables as well as by energy state and manoeuvrability.

wow white panel is very sexy .

hpasp would u want introduce the fire switch to us ?
biggrin

also one more thing sir :
i see how KUB operators can lock on target .... so locking on target by Gecho near close to Kub or Gecko is different ?

Nope, it relates to sharing of incorrect information.

Pretty easy...
... look for a RED button, with the label of PUSK.

Dear firend .... Please be carful and understand me and the other side i must say us .... and who loves sam systems ... All of us check this froum for learn about new systems and ask. The questions during next system... And im sure with my basic questions never ever generate any page about any system. So please take it easy and get deep breathe and bee cool till another sam lovers say another basic questions

...also do not forget why we did registered at this froum. Please

Dear All,

OSA SIM will not arrive, at least until the end of 2013, at its best.
Currently Im learning its operation and capabilities, and designing the SIM screens.

Im happy to answer questions about this remarkable system (last single digit SAM), while Im still building up my knowledge.
thumbsup

Originally it was planned as a cheap alternative system to the KUB, having full autonomous operation per vehicle.
When the KUB become available during the 70's, it was fielded in the WarPact at both tank/mechanized divisions.

At last, when the OSA become available in the 80's, WarPact armies started to swap the more expensive KUB regiments with the OSA!!!
(GDR - 2 regiments, Czechoslovakia - 1 regiment, Hungary - never fielded)
The reason was that a KUB regiment had only 5 target channel, utilizing 25 tracked vehicles...
... on the other side, the OSA regiment had 20 target channel (4x of a KUB) with 20 wheeled vehicles.

I have a little idea here, regarding the simulation of PU-12 command post. Normally, it would issue target designations to its subordinating SAMs and ZSUs by the voice via radio. As simulating this would be too cumbersome for SAM Sim, I was thinking about issuing them in text form. At plotting board you would select the desired target as you do now with IADS, but instead of automatic traget designation, you would receive guidance in text form, something like "azimuth 270, distance 32, altitude 6", with the same interval as with the real PU-12. I think this would be interesting.

Could you roughly describe the procedure to shoot down a target with the SA-8?

It doesn't have a separate a target designating radar like the SA-4, so are targets found like the ZSU-23-4?

Then just lock angle, lock range, and fire a missile or two?

dear hpasp.... i see somthing different in this pannels and i never ever seen like it at any samsim systems !
please check the rightest panel ... i see somthing yellow circle biggrin .... what is it ?

usually in our systems we had one tracking scope and one range finder biggrin ... i guess we will meet something different system in future popcorn

The 9K33M2 OSA-AK (SA-8B) turret is quite complex, so first we need to understand it.



1, SOC (Target Acquisition Radar) has three elevation beams (contrary to the 4 elevation beams of the 1S12 [Long Track]).
Range options: 0-15km (against choppers), 0-35km, 10-45km
33 rotation per min.
2, NRZ (IFF)
3, SSC (mono-pulse, pencil beam Target Tracking Radar), with a range of 28km.
4, SVR (Missile Tracking Radar - Narrow Beam)
5, SPK (Missile Command Transmitter antenna)
6, SVR (Missile Tracking Radar - Wide Beam)
7, Karat Camera (Optical Target Tracking)

Indicators:

1, SSC range indicator.


2, SOC azimuth/range indicator.


3, TV.
4, SSC elevation/range indicator.

im not sure sa-8 mechanim work like sa-4 mechanism. rolleyes

Ssc elevation / range indicator is strange for me.... We dont have it till now but im sure i see something like this indicator in straight flush radar room (kub). Right hpasp?

So i guess at first step in sa-8
1. we need data from IADS
2. also find and lock on target with target acquisition scope
3. finding target elevation with scc elevation/range indicator
4. at the end locking on target range on range finder indicator
5. And PUSK ?


Oooof im confuse clapping

Working stations (left - middle - right): Range Operator - Azimuth Operator - Elevation Operator

1, check on the blotting board, if the target is approached at least 50km. [Battery commander in the PU-12]
2, switch on high voltage of the SOC. [Azimuth Operator]
3, acquire the target in azimuth with the SSC boresight line displayed on the SOC azimuth/range indicator. [Azimuth Operator]
4, move the range boresight of the SSC to the target mark on the SOC azimuth/range indicator. [Range Operator]
5, switch on high voltage of the SSC. [Range Operator]
6, acquire the target in elevation on the SSC elevation/range indicator. [Elevation Operator]
7, acquire the target in range on the SSC range indicator. [Range Operator]
8, decide if we want to launch 1 or 2 missiles. [Elevation Operator]
9, when the target approaches the firing zone, missiles automatically prepared. [Elevation Operator]
10, fire 1 or 2 missiles. [Elevation Operator]
