What is the maximum detection range for rockets by the Q-36 in kilometers?

• A. 12 km
• B. 8 km
• C. 30 km
• D. 24 km

Answer: (D)

Detecting range is about how far away a target can be observed with enough clarity to identify and track it. For rockets, the Q-36 can reliably detect targets up to about 24 kilometers under standard conditions; this is the farthest range at which a rocket-sized radar echo remains strong enough for a confident detection given the system’s performance and the target’s radar cross-section. The other options fall short of what the system can consistently detect (12 km or 8 km) or exceed its capability for rockets (30 km), so 24 kilometers is the maximum practical detection range. Real-world factors like weather, altitude, and maneuvering rockets can affect actual detection, but 24 km is the expected maximum under normal conditions.
