Command Guided?

I'm pretty sure it is command guided - every web source I can find says it is. A.R. can you provide a source that claims it isn't ? Megapixie 02:32, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've just checked Janes (Janes land based air defence 2005-6) - and it also states that the missile is command guided (or at least receives mid course guidance correction). Megapixie 06:08, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Corresponding Russian term is zenith guided missile with a semi-active self-homing head (зенитная управляемая ракета с полуактивной головкой самонаведения). Semi-active does mean guidance correction. Guidance correction does mean command guidance. Still, this rocket may operate completely without in-flight guidance, but that would significantly decrease it's perfomance. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 16:53, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Active head (so the missile with it does not need any form of in-flight guidance at all) was not available at that time. Developments of such missiles are underway only 'today'. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 17:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History section

In particular the 4x fracticides claim. A quick review of the sources doesn't bring anything up. Thanks Megapixie 03:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC) The missile is command guided by the Continuous Wave radar underneath The Tracking Radar on the 1S91 radar. Although you can fire the missiles without radar guidance. The TEL can fire the missile in simple Ballistic trajectory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.178.28.237 (talk) 23:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect designations.

There is no such thing as a 3M9 TEL. 3M9, 3M9M and 3M9M3 are missile designations. The TELs are designated 2P25. Frank D 16:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I´m deleting this:

"On 19 April 1974 a MiG-23MS flown by Maj. El al-Masry is said to have shot down 2 IAF F-4Es during a mission over the Golan Heights against an Israeli offensive to destroy Syrian SAMs. He was subsequently shot down by an AAM fired by the Israelis and apparently by a friendly SA-6 battery.^[1]"

No direct relation with SAM-6. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.254.127.194 (talk) 04:46, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
