On the top-left side of the operator's console, there is a switch called ZEMLYA (Ground).
When the Zemlya mode is switched on, the operator can manually enter the coordinates (distance, azimuth, height) of the intended target. The launched missile strikes the target with precision.
Basically, in the anti-air mode, a typical SAM system launches a missile towards the target who's coordinates (distance, azimuth, height) are provided by the radar. In the Zemlya mode, it is the same thing, except that the coordinates are entered manually by the operator.
How many necessary components ( i mean bare minimum) of full S-75 system are needed to function like that properly.
Missile, launcher, komandny punkt (command point), cables etc.
...and a good operator who knows what he is doing.
I know that the Zemlya mode is very accurate to distances of 25 km. Beyond that, I don't know.
The Yemenis may or may not use their missiles as I described above.
Alternatively, they may use it in a ballistic mode (with terrible accuracy).
