Hello @SEndersby ! I am working on a (free) Me-163B-1 module for @eagledynamics' DCS World, and I stumbled across your CAD models while doing some research. I am still lacking some critical dimensions for my own model, do you mind if I send you an email about those ? Thanks !
Anyone not massively investing in BMD is doing a huge mistake. That includes nearly anyone but the US, Israel, Taiwan, and to some extent Japan, SK, China, and perhaps India. And no, HYDEF and HYDIS do not count. Pocket change gets you nothing in BMD.

@Danielkalombo “Le T-90 classé meilleur char du monde” Selon quelle étude, Bot 3737628 ? Non parce que bon, un char qui explose aussi vite sur un simple impact d’AtGM, c’est factuel et ça te ridiculise
@LetMePickThat @ICEprod1 @FarvaPrice Il n'a rien vu, il a fermé les yeux 😅
@LetMePickThat @Pataramesh @krakek1 Plus I'm fairly sure that vanes are designed to erode, so that they no longer block exhaust when less effective than aerodynamic control, kinda like with Iskander
@LetMePickThat @Pataramesh @krakek1 Especially for S-300, when max dynamic pressure is obtained at motor burnout, and aerodynamic control guarantees very fast and high gain response for lateral acceleration command.
@LetMePickThat @Pataramesh @krakek1 Jet vanes are used only for pitch over for S-300, too. Then they are pyrotechnically separated from control actuators, so that only aerodynamic control remains. There is no point for TVC to control missile in terminal guidance, where control commands require lateral acceleration.
@LetMePickThat @Pataramesh And even though they can be integrated at regiment level (or so I believe), they are not, only at brigade/division/corps.
@LetMePickThat @Pataramesh Offered because it would allow S-400 to return to being a MRSAM system, IMO BMD was a secondary consideration for 9M96 series, when compared to say dedicated ERINT. Incidentally RuASF seems set on having separate niches for LRSAM (S-400), MRSAM (S-350), BMD (S-500).
@Pataramesh @LetMePickThat There is a good reason why the dedicated BMD system - S-300V has two stage missiles.

@heatloss1986 The world if the Sidewinder family stopped at AIM-9L
But even if such or less complex sensors were widely available, there are still organizational challenges, ie defending them against Ukrainian suppression efforts. Or in other words, even if we say had spare 80P6 sets it would be more complex than putting them at Taman. 10/10
In ideal world we would have both the fast acting C3 connecting shooters to separate dedicated sensors, ie combination of 29V6 and 80P6, for EW and tracking/discrimination respectively, but those radars are expensive, valuable and currently do not cover some launch areas. 9/10
The same would apply to introducing dedicated radars to support SAM groupings, unless they are attached to individual systems. Of course there are new C3 systems available with shorter cycles, but they are less common. Better organization is thus important. 8/10
So the challenge is, as often is in case of BMD, in sensors and C3. While it is possible to integrate different SAM systems, ie have an S-300V4 unit support several S-400 units with it’s BMD radar, common legacy C3 systems have long cycles, ie ~10s for Pyramid. 7/10
S-350 in general is a reasonably capable system, meant to replace the S-300P series in the MRSAM role, while S-400/500 evolves into the LRSAM mission. It has decent performance for both MFR and SR in the BMD mode and a PAC-3 like lightweight interceptor - 9M96 series. 6/10
The (c) category shares many of the same issues as (b), though in case of S-500 we can expect better performance and in case of S-350 better numbers (eventually). S-500 appears to follow in S-300V steps with a capable organic search option. 5/10
The (b) category has all the organic assets it needs, including a specialized sector radar, the challenge with it is more to do with limited (if greater than for (a)) protected area and limited available numbers, making long term sustained surveillance challenging. 4/10
The challenge (a) category has is the BMD search capability. Buk, even current mods, has very limited BMD performance, S-400 can do better, ie with its battle management radar, but even it is rather underwhelming. Otherwise, despite limited protected area, it works. 3/10
First - the shooters. Presently the most common BMD capable systems would be (a) S-300PM/S-400 and Buk-M2/M3. After those there is (b) the S-300V3/4. There are also new generation systems in limited service (c) - S-350 and S-500. 2/
