extinguish. The cooling time is nearly equal to the work time, and it depends on environment<br />
temperature conditions.<br />
The "Vikhr" has limited capabilities against low-speed air targets such as helicopters and low-speed<br />
aircraft. Engagement of air targets is the same as described above. However, the launch range<br />
against air targets, especially in a pursuit courses, significantly drops. Use the "Vikhr" against air<br />
targets less than 3 – 5 km away, depending on the target speed and aspect angle.<br />
Laser Beam-Riding Missiles<br />
The <strong>Su</strong>-<strong>25T</strong> can use the "Vikhr" laser beam-riding missile. The "Vikhr" is a specialized antitank missile<br />
(ATGM) designed to destroy mobile armored units.<br />
The delivery procedure for such weapons is as follows:<br />
Step 1<br />
Select air-to-ground mode by pressing the [7] key. Select the ATGMs by pressing the [D] key.<br />
Confirm the selected weapon type on the HUD. To detect and identify targets, you must turn on the<br />
"Shkval" TV targeting system by pressing the [O] key, or the "Mercury" system by pressing the<br />
[RCtrl-O] key. Search for your target by moving the scan zone center with the [;], [,], [.], [/]<br />
keys. Upon target acquisition, ground-stabilize the sensor by pressing the [Enter] key. For positive<br />
target identification you can change the sensor’s magnification level by pressing the [=] (zoom in)<br />
and [-] (zoom out) keys.<br />
Step 2<br />
To lock a target, you need to manually set a specified size (also known as "target base") of the target<br />
correctly. By default, the target specified size is 10 m for armored targets.<br />
The "Shkval" targeting system will lock on to the nearest object within the acquisition frame that has<br />
dimensions comparable with the set target size. If the incorrect object is locked, move the acquisition<br />
frame to the correct target with the [;], [,], [.], [/] keys.<br />
When a target is locked, an "AC" message will appear on the TV monitor – auto-tracking.<br />
Step 3<br />
Turn on laser rangefinder by [RShift-O] key. Range to target is indicated by the range scale<br />
displayed on the HUD.<br />
