Err... In the Tallinn scenario, long after the SR-71 has crashed, it still can be seen on the Tall King radar screen.
A bug?

First off it's not an early warning radar. You're actually turning on your targeting radar. When you power the system up and put it into Running Mode, you're activating the Tall King radar. The three position covered switch is for the targeting radar.
2. I set it for mach 3 as that's roughly how fast the SR-71 is flying.
3. You can't really detect the SR-71 with your targeting radar until it's ~180-220 km and acquiring it ~180 gives you plenty of time for the Nonius, while also reducing the amount of time you're on air. Not to mention you can't engage the SR-71 until it's ~150 km anyways.
4. I'm almost positive the S-200 uses a cooling system for it's missiles. Anyways, if you spin up the missiles when the SR-71 is ~200 km you'll probably be launching them within 2 minutes.
5. The reason I only use 1 missile for this engagement is simple; no US aircraft has ever been fired on by an S-200 before. Therefore, the SR-71 will never even know it's been engaged and thus won't be maneuvering/evading. Of course in real life I'm sure the CO would've ordered 3 missiles fired.

Therefore, the SR-71 will never even know it's been engaged and thus won't be maneuvering/evading. Of course in real life I'm sure the CO would've ordered 3 missiles fired. SR71 was a high prized target, so I bet than in a case of receiving firing order, a battery would launch all missiles possible. (more than 6) 5. The reason I only use 1 missile for this engagement is simple; no US aircraft has ever been fired on by an S-200 before. Therefore, the SR-71 will never even know it's been engaged and thus won't be maneuvering/evadingLaunching a Vega missile is not detectable by RWR's.  The only time US NAVY faced the Libyan S-200, they sent forward the Ticonderoga ships to detect the huge missile while flying. (they did it successfully)

I have an impression that in the sim, jamming aircraft generally do not change their altitude. Is it so? Is it a merciful feature so that we could shoot them down?

Hi to all!  . .   . . .   . . . . . . . . . . .  for several weeks I worked very Hard to upgrade some oldish Volhov, and now it's ready to be used! if you are ready Hpasp, you can add it to next release of SAM Sim. How can guess what is this???

I'm sure at that time they assumed it would spike RWR just as all previous Russian SAMs did.

The SR71 were simply not able to change its altitude quickly, otherwise it would stall. The B52 pilots over Hanoi were threatened with court-martial if they break the formation. F4 will change altitude at their will...

Hi to all! How can guess what is this??? I guess for a Weasel training aid, probable a Tolicha peak (Nevada [Area-51])?

Wow, that's pretty dumb. Altho, I don't imagine a B-52 would be able to maneuver very well. I'm defiantly looking forward to seeing what kind of tricks the SA-5 has to deal with SEAD.

The reason for that was for defensive equipment and rear gun coverage. If aircraft left the formation it changed the coverage of their ECM gear and left aircraft more vulnerable, and also left holes in their gun coverage for the rear guns.
