The targets are simply too fast and too small.

@Aragorn RCS/DCS - who cares , the point is “when you see the flash, it’s already too late”
@Foxtrot701 Eh, mate. RCS is whole different ballgame on aspect.
From sides, eg SA5, is a “telephone pole” … from rear, front … is a 0.5m diameter “pointed circle/ - cone”. - not much of a target in essence.
Then there’s trajectory.
When in pure ascending stage, it covers so fast so much altitude, almost vertically, that Doppler is ineffective. - mechanical antenna is just too slow.In horizontal stage it is a “cone” mentioned above, so that much RCS is like a medium drone size… even smaller.
And there is its speed… remember it is a long range missile… it’s NOT slow.
On doppler radar you could get a blip , even is … (what’s the name of the radar mode with speed in the waterfall) … but… then is gone.
If radar is not preset with right PRF it would just “filter it out” , maybe as an interference.I am not talking about awacs/sar radars , but older pulse APG series, which we have in BMS.
So detecting even a LARGE sam missile … NO - NO (maybe )
-maybe one blip before you die -

AAA is ineffective against BMs.
Yes. But what about DCs…?
LOl…
I remember someone in DCS talking about shooting a SA-10 with guns, so, I wouldn’t bet.

I tear up with pride when my jokes are not quite… gotten.
My cup runneth over.

@Aragorn I am an EXPERT in misunderstanding jokes and creating confusion

And… making people angry…?
Yes. I have been following your posts across various contentious threads…! Hee hee.
