They are shooting ? Yes. Do they expect some result ? With this manual tracking quality : no But still scary for the helicopter crew ...

In the first video they are tracking a plane, which is going to land... It looks like the plane is below 100 meters and descending... What method they used? They cannot measure the range, thus no Fi, right?

Normally and if the target is low and manually tracked and range less that 7 km ,the system recognize to be be in Fi mode. No need for precise range.

On the 16.01.2014 one the operator pointed at elevation indicator...?

But how the missile knew when to descent over target if no range data?

But how the missile knew when to descent over target if no range data? In this case the missile flies in a predefined path just 3 meters higher from the crosshair of carat and with the proximity fuse already energized,it is expected the target to be hit by the warhead fragments .

In my opinion the video on 16.01.2014 is from training activities and the target is tracked by the tracking radar and that's why there is target blip on elevation screen.Carat just verifies the results. In the other video ,firing over buildings (war activity ) there is no tracking radar locked and applicable what I wrote in my previous message.

Dear ePap!
If you have time, it is worthy to look careful all videos, and say what is going on (or not) for everyone of them.... Does they really used radar lock on any of them?
EDIT: The cargo plane shooting - missile flew for 26 seconds...

EDIT: The cargo plane shooting - missile flew for 26 seconds... In videos with hit , they use the lock on target with tracking radar. The night vision is out of alingmnet.I don't know why. In war condition video they try to follow with the night camera their target but incorrectly and because of the misalignment there is no chance for a hit. In that case there is no radar lock.May be in order to surprise the target (no chaff release) or radar failure .Or to force the system to go in Fi mode,which I have doubts ....

Videos with missile detonation are more than one....

Most probably the pilot was very very lucky but I am not convinced that is an OSA missile .It seems to me slower and not rolling.From the other side the detonation of warhead look like OSA .
