RWR: 7
THREAT: HIGH
In-DCS Unit View:
Originators Designation: HQ-7 红旗-7 “Red Banner”
NATO Reporting Name: FM-80 (CSA-4)
Description: A short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) from the People's Republic of China. It was developed by the Changfeng Electromechanical Technology Design Institute from the French R-440 Crotale SAM.[2] It entered service in the early 1980s.[1]
A ground battery consists of a short-range radar and three launchers. Each launcher has four or eight missiles
Specifications:
Defensive Maneuvers: HIGH THREAT mobile tactical SAM. The HQ-7 in many ways operates like a more capable SA-8 / Osa. It has similar targeting and engagement limits, but is much less affected by countermeasures, and the addition of an STR unit should allow it to more quickly switch between multiple targets. Still, flying high or engaging with stand-off weapons will hit its weak spots much like with the Osa.
A typical HQ-7 battalion consists of 3 operational sections, each with 3 launchers and 1 search radar, and 1 support section with 10 support vehicles and a maintenance group.
