Boroda would be all over this if he were still here. Multiple russian sam systems simulated to their correct launch operation.

One of the valuable byproducts of the disintegration of the Soviet regime has been the release into the open source domain of a large volume of declassified technical material covering Soviet systems used through the Cold War period. These include a range of radar systems and SAM systems, especially those operated by Warsaw Pact nations. Numerous websites have appeared in Eastern Europe and Germany, which detail these weapon systems in a manner which a Cold War era Western technical intelligence analyst could only dream of.
An even more valuable contribution has recently appeared in Hungary, a high quality simulator program hosted on Windows, which provides faithful emulations of a range of Soviet SAM system engagement radar consoles. APA sought advice from several contributors with operational experience on these systems, and all confirmed that the simulator provides a high quality representation of the SNR-75 Fan Song E (SA-2 Guideline), SNR-125 Low Blow (SA-3 Goa), 1S32 Pat Hand (SA-4 Ganef) and most recently, the 5N62 Square Pair (SA-5 Gammon). This author has studied the original Russian language technical manuals for various components of the SA-5 Gammon, and the simulator indeed provides a faithful representation.
The author of this program intends to produce over time accurate simulators for a wide range of Soviet SAM and SPAAG systems operated by the Warsaw Pact. All simulator panel representations are based upon digital photographs of real panels in preserved examples of these systems, and functional modes represent reflect operational manuals for these systems.
While most of these SAM systems are no longer operational, and those which are, are typically no longer in the legacy configuration depicted, the simulator is valuable as it illustrates the high level of proficiency and high training standards required for these systems to be used effectively in combat. This clearly explains the enormous disparities in combat effect observed between operations by the Warpac advisor led PAVN pre-1973, by Soviet PVO troops along the Suez during the War of Attrition, and Serbian forces during OAF, in comparison with the woeful performance of the Syrians in 1982, and the Iraqis in 1991. The latter have become completely unrealistic yet widely accepted benchmarks of IADS combat effect and performance.
APA strongly recommends that visitors with a professional interest in Soviet SAMs invest the time to visit the site, play the recorded tutorials, and download the simulator for a test run.
Systems Currently Represented by the SAM Simulator
1. S-200VE Vega (SA-5B Gammon) / 2011
2. 2K11 KRUG-M1 system (SA-4B Ganef) / 2010
3. S-125M1 Neva (SA-3B Goa) / 2009
4. S-75M Volkhov (SA-2E Guideline) / 2006 - 2009

fantastic :aok
-
thanks for posting
-
Now that is cool!
-
Very cool. Even more fun than plantville! lol

I'll let Baroda know about this one.
-
Are you guys able to run it on LCD monitor?
-
and all i thought you had to do was light a fuse and point it LOL!!! :rofl
-
I have been running it on 1920x1080 even though it says it isnt possible. It is really cool.
-
Now that is a cool sim. :aok
-
I have learned how to use the SA-2E Guideline against targets that aren't jamming and are not F-117s and stealthy. I shot down Francis Gary Powers U-2 which was surprisingly easy :ahand
-
*rolls up sleeves* Lets do this :D
-
I can shoot down a 737 and am hoping to make it to the 747 some day. It is coolio! But after while it's a little boring because it seems to the same. More like a historical simulator. It's not the same without somebody calling me a newb over chat.
Would that not be cool to integrate something like this into DCS in a multiplayer mode?
-
I think this simulator will keep me occupied for a few weeks until I can shoot down target reliably. If you forget one switch the damn thing misses :furious.
I also am working hard on this becuase I really want to be able to put this on my resume "Knowledgeable in SAM operations". If the employer didn't know what a SAM was I would calmly explain that I theoretically know how to shoot down aircraft using SA-2, SA-3, SA-4 and SA-5 Surface-to-Air missiles.
-
:bhead
-
It keeps telling me my resolution is wrong. I changed it to required res..... any tips?

You arent by chance going to be sending your resumes to the Middle East are you? :O

I can somehow run it in 1920x1080 but if you go into your graphics card control center you should be able to force a setting

I changed a bunch of settings and nothing is working. It says my resolution is less than what it actually is.
-
How long before freehost implements these?

Found a fix for this problem. WinBlows likes to scale stuff to 125% and SAM sim doesn't like that a bit. So scale to 100% and everything will be good to go.
-
Hey Russian go back to the site they have released a new version that accounts for the problem. You supposedly can play on all resolutions now. There have been some other updates too like having ground clutter and hill the terrain is no longer flat apparently the coder inputted terrain from Google earth so it is all realistic..
-
So what's the simulation going to play like... Missile Command meets Tetris?
-
Not even close.

I had latest version. Anyhow, now everything works nicely. Learning about SA2.

Has anyone tried this with vista? It would be cool to have this as an app for the iPad. Picture it, flying on a commercial plane, and bring the system up while someone is setting next to you. They look over and see a radar, and controls. If they had no clue, as most people don't they would give themselves trouser chili.

Trouser Chili. I am stealing that. I assume it should work for Vista it works on my Windows 7.
-
I will have to give it a try sometime this weekend after I get over the root canal I am having tomorrow.
There is trouser chili, boot beans, and sock soup.

Here's a very basic guide on how to shoot down a drone.
