Despite its short range, the missiles are rather manoeuvrable, and harder to shake off with fancy piloting, especially since it actually predicts the target’s movement unlike the SA-2. The system is also somewhat more resistant to ECM than its predecessors, but is still rendered toothless once the track radar is defeated. It can also track at lower altitudes than its predecessors.
If you must engage the system use terrain to your advantage as it does have a minimum engagement range of 3.24 nm. Expect additional resisitance due to it being a high value emplacment. Ideally you should stand down and call SEAD to take care of the threat.
