![]() In addition, polyester can be a bit warmer than nylon. Polyester mesh is much more durable than nylon however, it may not be as breathable. The netting material is another consideration. ![]() If you plan on using it daily for outdoor activities, such as gardening or fishing, you will need a much more durable net than one meant only for the occasional hiking excursion or camping trip. The first key piece is to determine how often you will need to use the net. There are several factors that separate one net from another, such as the number of holes per square inch, price, and even the material used. The market has everything from nets that are connected to hats to small portable nets that fit into any backpack or stuff sack. Why do I care? I’d like to add some authenticity to a piece of dialogue.When it comes to mosquito head nets, there are many brands and types to choose from. Most importantly, the new radar had additional ECCM capabilities and was integrated with the modernized R-40RD/R-40TD (AA-6 Acrid) air-to-air missiles. The ranges refer to engagements from the target's front hemisphere in engagements from the rear hemisphere, range was reduced by a further 40 percent. In the look-down/shoot-down mode, the ranges were reduced by 30 percent. It had increased ranges of 90 km (detection) and 60 km (tracking). It was basically an enlarged and more powerful version of the MiG-23's RP-23. 'High Lark 4' is more properly known as the RP-25MN Sapfir-25 or N005, and was designed and manufactured by NII Radyostroyenya (NIIR), which subsequently becme part of NPO Phazotron (before separating again as Phasotron-NIIR). What I’d like to try and ascertain is the ELINT notification for the MiG-25PD’s ‘High Lark 4’ radar. ![]() Thus, for example, the Gundish AAA Radar had the ELINT notation B407, while the ship borne ‘Head Net’ EW radar found on many older Russian naval vessels had the ELINT notation C308. These usually comprised a letter (A for airborne, B for ground based, or C for ship borne etc) followed by a three digit catalogue number. However, in addition to having a NATO reporting name, all radars also have an ELINT notation (ELNOT), used by SIGINT operators over intercom and in the reports they sent back to base via HF or SATCOM, but which would be largely meaningless to a friendly fighter pilot. ![]() In a SIGINT context these NATO reporting names are used for informing other non-SIGINT tactical players in near real time over voice nets. When using voice communications (R/T) to report radar activity to non-SIGINT combat units it is normal to use NATO ASCC reporting names for radars, such as ‘Gun Dish’ for the quad AAA fire control radar, ‘Head Net’ for the Early Warning radar found on many older Russian naval vessels or ‘High Lark’ for the radar used by the MiG-23 ‘Flogger-B’. I had thought that I was asking about classification according to an archaic ELINT notification system but I now understand that not to be the case! ![]() Before I am deafened by shouts of ‘Beadwindow’, let me stress that I am asking about the SIGINT classification of an obsolete ENEMY radar, only a handful of examples of which remain operational (both the MiG-23 and the MiG-25 are virtually extinct), and in particular about the type of radar used by the MiG-25PD, a handful of which may remain active in Algeria (c.12), possibly Azerbaijan (up to 20), Libya (1) and Syria (2). ![]()
