And of course the Pop Group is there for the OSA-MA, although this system is way too outdated, being only capable of tracking one target and guiding two missiles to that target… I’m not surprised by its failure on the export market.
The SA-8 seemed to export OK…
AFAIK, Neustrashimiy uses the ASW helo, since she’s really ASW oriented… I don’t know whether the guidance heloes they use can be used with this ship, normally you need a special datalink for that and I’m not sure whether Uran can receive such guidance either.
It was my understanding that the Ka-27 Helix version of the naval helo had enough extra load capacity and a built in surface search radar as standard that they dropped the custom designed missile guidance model of the Hormone an any version of the Helix could perform the missile guidance role.
Very nice pics BTW. Thanks.
