Description

The 5P72 is a missile launcher designed for the 5V21 missiles that arms the S-200 missile system. The 5V21 missile is a large supersonic missile designed to intercept targets at long ranges, it is launched using four booster that detaches after launch. The missile itself is 10 meters in length and has four triangular fins and four trapezoid control fins on the rear, it is powered by a single rocket motor that propelled the missile up to Mach 8 and reaching 150km to 300km depending on the model. It is guided by the 5N62 fire control radar using radio illumination for mid-course correction and semi-active radar homing at the terminal phase. The missile carries a 217 high-explosive fragmentation warhead with proximity fuse or a 25 kt nuclear warhead using radio command signal, each missiles weights about 7 tons.

In this SimplePlanes version, it is a detailed replica of the launcher for the 5V28VE missile, it can go up, left, and right and has an auto-aim mode. The missile itself is also a replica of the 5V28 missile used on the S-200, it has functional boosters that fires up first before the missile itself to propel it into the air, it has a 240km range with a speed of Mach 8, however it has a classic Skill Issue moment if engaging targets below 17km, as it will often miss due to horrible maneuverability, but all in all it is a fine missile if used correctly.
