You really must try to use better sources than Wikipedia.
There is nothing of sorts that I mentioned on Wikipedia.
Development of the original Zaslon started in the mid to late 70s. That piece of junk had all sorts of issues with reliability. It was also such a badly designed radar that so much RF leaked from the side lobes that you where just as likely to fry your wing man’s electronics as you where detect an enemy. This radar was no match for the AW9-G much less the AWG-71. In fact it’s shortcomings against the AW9-Gis what caused the development of Zaslon M(?).
Garbage. Evidence or GTFO.
A truly wonderful radar that can detect targets at around 200km and give itself away at around 400km. Real useful in combat.
Evidence? The Zaslon-M could detect targets upto 400KM, slightly less perhaps.

Five of six missiles hit their targets and the 6th missile was a near miss and was dubbed a kill if an active warhead had been used.
And how well did they do against ECM or even when 2 of them didn’t hit a thing in Desert Storm?
It is a cited fact that the ability to transmit at different frequencies enabled the AW9-G to guide more than one SARH missile at a time. Again you confuse it with Russian junk.
Garbage. Evidence or GTFO. You’ve been counter-argued by like 3 people on this now.
Study geometry and RF propagation before you comment on target separation. Again the proof is in the pudding in the actual missile tests. The F-14, AW9-G, Phoenix combination successfully engaged six separate targets at various altitudes and bearings.
Yeah and what were those numbers? The altitudes were not that far apart at all.
Too bad these little things like facts tend to ruin your argument.
You are a misinformed kid who has a grudge against anything Russian. Sad life I take it. 😀
