RWR: 13
THREAT: LOW
In-DCS Unit View:
Originators Designation: 9K35 STRELA-10
NATO Reporting Name: SA-13 Gopher
Description: A Soviet highly mobile, short-range surface-to-air missile system. It is visually aimed, and utilizes optical/infrared-guidance. The system is primarily intended to engage low-altitude threats, such as helicopters. "9K35" is its GRAU designation; its NATO reporting name is SA-13 "Gopher".
The Sa-13 Gopher was designed as a replacement for the SA-9 Gaskin and is a short-range, low altitude SAM system. It is fitted with an improved allaspect IR seeker unit that ensures good IR decoy countermeasures discrimination and optimum use against low altitude targets in adverse weather conditions. The estimated minimum range of the SA-13 is 500ft and the maximum effective range is 4nm with altitude engagement limits of 5 to 14,000ft. 0ft Each SA-13 vehicle incorporates the range-only SNAP SHOT radar which provides the operator the targets range to the system to prevent wastage of missiles outside the effective range of the system. This means the SA-13 may show up on the RWR system but pilot should not get confused, the missiles are IR only.
Specifications:
Defensive Maneuvers: Primarily a CAS target. It is detectable via RWR, and can be engaged with Anti-Radiation missiles. Easily found via targeting pod, it can be engaged with missiles from beyond 3NM range. The SA13 will trigger a short RWR spike before launch. If you are attacked, flare and evade.
Break Turn 8-9g turn+Flares (4+)/regularly dispense flares when in SA-13 envelope (look for tall-tale RWR symbol). AGM-65/DTOS Cluster Bombs/HARM may be effective against ranging radar.
All aspect capability. Decent IRCCM and background IR clutter rejection capabilities. Hard to defeat kinematically. Integrated ranging radar and launch vehicle. Normally found only as part of larger units such as a Motor Rifle Battalion or HQ units.
