-- ## 1.1 Radar systems and AWACS

-- Typically, your setup should consist of EWR (early warning) radars to detect and track targets, accompanied by AWACS if your scenario forsees that. Ensure that your EWR radars have a good coverage of the area you want to track.
-- **Location** is of highest importantance here. Whilst AWACS in DCS has almost the "all seeing eye", EWR don't have that. Choose your location wisely, against a mountain backdrop or inside a valley even the best EWR system

-- doesn't work well. Prefer higher-up locations with a good view; use F7 in-game to check where you actually placed your EWR and have a look around. Apart from the obvious choice, do also consider other radar units

-- An attacker doing 350knots will cover ca 180meters/second or thus more than 6km until the SA-6 fires. Use triggers zones and the ruler in the missione editor to understand distances and zones. Take into account that the ranges given by the circles
