Question Vakakaaa: At 2km in your translated article, are they saying the radar is sending a warning or is it an image of the plane on the screen?
Hello 210thars. See amended #685 above, research of the case continues... Without having better knowledge of the display my guess is that he talks about a warning (not LED?) on the screen. The aircraft image on the screen was sometimes called a "pip", what it is in Russian? On some of the Russian forums there was a man who said he worked 28 years with ATC radars, will try to find him to ask whether it could have been a blinking “pip” or what. I have available book: “Russian-English and English-Russian Dictionary of Radar and Electronics”. Датчик = pickup; sensor, detector. I was most of the time flying radiotechnical measurements, not ATP, first medical: March 1948, last: March 1998.
