Select air-to-ground mode by pressing the [7] key. Select the desired weapon by pressing the [D]
key. Confirm the selected weapon type on the HUD. To detect and identify targets, you must turn on
the "Shkval" TV targeting system by pressing the [O] key, or the "Mercury" system by pressing the
[RCtrl-O] key. Search for your target by moving the scan zone center with the [;], [,], [.], [/]
keys. Upon target acquisition, ground-stabilize the sensor by pressing the [Enter] key. For positive
target identification you can change the sensor’s magnification level by pressing the [=] (zoom in)
and [-] (zoom out) keys.
Step 2
To lock a target, you need to manually set a specified size (also known as "target base") of the target
correctly. By default, the target specified size is 10 m. It is recommended to use the following target
base values:
Personnel and minor structures – 5 m.
Cars and armored vehicles – 10 m.
Tactical aircraft and helicopters – 20 m.
Transport and strategic aircraft – 30-60 m.
Buildings – 20-60 m.
Ships – 60 m.
The "Shkval" targeting system will lock on to the nearest object within the acquisition frame that has
dimensions comparable with the set target size. If the incorrect object is locked, move the acquisition
frame to the correct target with the [;], [,], [.], [/] keys.
When a target is locked, an "AC" message will appear on the TV monitor – auto-tracking.
Step 3
Turn on laser rangefinder by [RShift-O] key. Range to target is indicated by the range scale
displayed on the HUD.
When the maximum launch range is reached and the "LA" message appears, release the weapon by
pressing the weapon release button on your joystick or by pressing the [Space] key on your
keyboard.
Step 4
Take note if the target was destroyed by the missile. If not and range to target still permits, launch
another missile. Remember that you must lock the target the entire time the missile is in flight. If the
lock is broken prior to the missile reaching its target, the missile will most likely miss. When locked to
target, restrict your maneuvering as this could bring the target outside the gimbal limits of the
"Shkval" targeting system.
Step 5
Turn off the laser rangefinder by pressing the [RShift-O] key. Remember that the
rangefinder/target designator has a limited, continuous duration time, which is about one minute.
After that, the device needs time to cool down or risk damage. During this cool-down time indicated
by "Л", a green lamp will flash at 2 Hz; when the device has sufficiently cooled, the lamp will
