This link is dead, anyone got a copy to share?
There is also something I am not clear about in this:
I assume the outer line is the BUK-M2 envelope. And the inner lines is BUK-M1 and BUK-M1-2. Is that correct?
Now I have read the the BUK-M2 is a mach 4 missile with 15 seconds of burn time.
Unless it has an big amount of drag, with those parameters I see no reason it should not able to kill something at 45-50 Km away from the BUK.
Am I therefore correct in assuming that the above picture is not an engagement envelope, but a kill envelope, and that a missile can be fired at say 60+ KM range if it has a high closing rate? (and the hit will then occur downrange at 45-50KM)
If that is the case, do anyone know the distance a 9M317 would max be fired at?
