jeah, but if the missile is still not close enough to find the target with its own radar, it will become a maddog…
If the missile is that far as to not pick the target up with its own radar then it’s going to receive target and maneuvering data from the launching platform, in a nominal situation it should not go maddog. Of course there are ‘snip’ instances due to various circumstances but that’s another thing.
What I don’t get is HOJ in principle. From what I understood, it really is a maddog with HOJ capability.
The way I understand it is if you ‘snip’ before ‘pitbul’ the missile is going to try and detect jamming radiation and home in on the emitter.
