Radar guidance on the Vikhr mounted in the Su-39

[NoobHue314]

I found that in War Thunder the Vikhr missile in the Su-39 could be guided by radar, namely the kopyo-25.

There is information if it had that capability irl?

Was it planned only to be possible with the Kinzhal-S 8mm wave-band radar or the kopyo-25 would be able to guide it too?

It functioned the same way as the Khrizantema does: the Vikhr would beam ride the radar emitted waves?

Though I easily found info about the Khrizantema and how it is radar guided, I haven't had luck searching this info about the Vikhr.

As far as i know, the laser beam emitter simply follows wherever the radar is looking in both systems. Installing both radar and laser recievers in the back of the missile could be problematic in terms of packaging and cost.
