Hi Hpasp; it's very interesting having you here... one question: we knew (at least we thought to know...) warsaw pact air defence was working as "sectors", so there where area for missile engagement only (MEZ) and areas for fighter engagement only (FEZ). It looked like those areas were never overlapping, it's that true?
ciao!
Yes, it was true.
Each Air Defense Unit (Fighter or SAM) had own Target Acquisition Radars.
We had 6 radio-technical battalions during the Cold War, with own sector of responsibility.
1. Radio-technical Battalion at Pápa, supporting the 47th Fighter Regiment, equipped with MiG-23MF, and MiG-21BiS fighters.
2. Radio-technical Battalion at Taszár, supporting the 31st Fighter Regiment, equipped with MiG-21BiS and Su-22M3 fighters.
3. Radio-technical Battalion at Budaörs, supporting the 11st SAM Brigade, equipped with S-75M3OP Volhov (SA-2E) and S-125M1 Neva (SA-3B) SAM systems.
4. Radio-technical Battalion at Sárbogárd, supporting the 104th SAM Regiment, equipped with S-75M3OP Volhov (SA-2E) and S-200VE Vega-E (SA-5B) SAM systems.
5. Radio-technical Battalion at Kecskemét, supporting the 59th Fighter Regiment, equipped with MiG-21MF fighters.
6. Radio-technical Battalion at Miskolc, supporting the 105th SAM Regiment, equipped with S-75M3OP Volhov (SA-2E) SAM systems.
