First go at one of the Cairo missions - the higher altitude intruders from the North East turn away as soon as they detect the radar locking them up, so I was detected - their recce mission was a success, and my SAM battalion pinpointed, but it cost them two aircraft in less than a minute.

There is no IADS for target cueing, so the search is manual using the P18 radar, as is picking out a target from within the four ship formation once it was identified. Five missiles expended in two engagements both of which were successful. Although I locked a third target the predicted range exceeded the low level kinematic range of the missile in 'K' guidance mode.
