Was S-25, Soviet first SAM system, ahead of its time? (A VERY in-depth analysis)

[@enclave0fficer858]

One of the best SAM videos in youtube, it’s also good to see old systems because most people don’t understand how complex even the older systems were

[@molnibalage83]

Yes, they were complex another way comparing current systems. The most important to understand the motive, limitations and why looked as way the SAMs as they did. It is clearly seen what were the field experience and what was the impact on the upgrades and following designs. The SAMs did not come from "vacuum".

[@Raz.C]

No, you wouldn't have. Even if by some witches curse, you decided to do a maths subject at university and because of the curse the witch placed on you, you are forced to choose the subject "Linear Algebra." The witches curse might have forced you to enrol yourself in that class, but there's no power in the universe that could make you enjoy it!!! Even powerful magic, combined with powerful drugs, combined with paid assistants, whose job it is to keep you focused, you will NEVER be able to maintain focus in a Linear Algebra course. The problem is that everything is so fucking abstract!!! In my degree as a Chemist (BSc, double major in chemistry) or as a Psychologist (BA psych), I had to do a LOT of different mathematical and statistical analysis and functions and graphic and deriving, etc... Yet not once in my studies, or in my working life in the almost 20 years since have I EVER had to determine the Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues of a matrix. I've never had to diagonalise a matrix. I don't even remember how to do any of those things anymore, and yet my life is as full as the day I learned how to do all that. I chose to enrol in that subject because I thought it seemed easy. I was such a fucking idiot!!! Maths can mean a LOT of different things. If you don't like maths it's probably because you're not good at it. But maths is like anything else; Practice it enough and you'll get good at it. If you honestly make an effort to get good at maths and you stay with it for three months, I guarantee you that you'll start liking maths because you're going to start being really good at it. Once you're good at maths and have started enjoying it, you can either go crazy and start doing crazy shit like Linear Algebra, or you might apply yourself to Chemistry (I highly recommend Chemistry, since every chemist is also a highly accomplished particle physicist AND a nuclear physicist). I also recommend Engineering, or Physics/ Astrophysics. You see, once you start understanding maths and getting good at it, you'll start to find it easy, and then even top tier jobs like Engineering or Chemist-ing or Physics-ing become feasible. You'll be good at those subjects and would be great at that work. I can't recommend it enough. Best of all, along with the understanding of these subjects, you gain a wonderfully deep understanding of the world and how it works as well as the greater universe around us. All the questions you used to wonder about as a kid, but forgot about as an adult are questions that you are able to answer as a scientist/ engineer. edit - the second paragraph should say *"Graphing"* and not "graphic"

[@b.elzebub9252]

I actually had a physics-teacher in high school that kind of did this. He'd ask some random people in the class what their general interests were and he'd try to relate the subject to that if he could. It was awesome. That guy really changed the way I looked at science and physics. I remember one particular class where he asked me. So I told him 'I like history and aviation'. And he said: 'So you know how important radar was during the battle of Britain? Do you know how radar works?' Awesome guy now that I think back on that.

Promoted and demoted a record 37 times, Binkov eventually made the rank of General and declared war on cats. After the Binkov-Feline War, as it was known in the east, he retired to a cabin in Minsk to drink the days away and watch videos of frogs mating.

It seems like a LOT of these systems could have been made a LOT safer if them just moved the command bunker 10 - 20 meters away from the electronics/ radars, via cables, so that anti-radiation missiles/ bomb strikes against the radars would not kill the operators in the bunkers. Maybe some concrete reinforcing, as with Vietnamese SA 2 sites wouldn't have gone amiss, either.

Nope, it has nothing to do with the German Wasserfall. In fact it used the wavelength what selected because of the Land Lease shipments from the USA. The USSR got the SCR-584 radar. The electronics of the Berkut is derived from this gift. And a little spoiler. In fact the SA-75 Dvina also based on the Berkut while the S-75M Volkhov regardless of the similar appearance inside was differnet because it used different wavelength. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCR-584_radar

I do not know well that system. In fact most of current SAMs uses quite the same general principle, only their radar types and missiles are different. But exact data are classified. Making a detailed video with useful information is quite hard. The best what is possible when all the major Russians SAMs are known and basics of the NASAMS2 and S-350 you can compare the main items on basic level but that is it. You can't find real usable data about missile maneuvering capability or anything. The principles and goals can be shown but such detailed style what you can see this video is not possible.

if a missile/rocket motor has no turbopump but relies on pressure, maybe it's better to call it pressure-fed? then again if pressurizing gas is generated instead of stored separately it might make sense to call it a gas generator cycle even though 'gas generator cycle' usually implies 'gas is produced to power turbopumps to pump fuel'

How would it have done against the UK's Vulcan B2 bomber carrying bluesteel missile ? In service from about 1963 to 1969. It had a Mach 3.5 speed and a range of 90 to 250 miles depending on launch hight.

[@molnibalage83]

I do not know the exact attack profile of the Blue Steel missile. From 1968 the Berkut a decelerated BS missile maybe could down but from mid '60s appeared the first S-200A Angara what would have better chance against it. The 90-250 mile range of the BS missile was not enough large considering the qty. of Soviet interceptors. The main problem was the unreliability of the BS missiles and very long preparation time. On paper it had good combat parameters but the maintaining and reaching that is another thing.

Just one small mistake. G rate is important only in relation of successful maneuver at a very short distance. Due to how geometry works, any maneuver done by target will require a significantly lower adjustment by pursuer. G differences are more theoretical and are about how effectively pilot manages to avoid incoming missiles. With fighter planes pilot had some room to maneuver, but even if pilot knows what to do exactly, it still does not make missile obsolete. However, targets against which this system was initially designed had no dodging capabilities. G turn rate is highly situational and marginal statistic.

[@molnibalage83]

This is not true. Short distance is not = with terminal phase. The leading and other issues will be explained later.
