-This type of RWR doesn't display the exact direction of the detected threat, and instead only shows it in sectors. One of the most common RWRs that use sectors for displaying threats are the ones used by the later [[MiG-21 (Family)|MiG-21]] variants and early [[MiG-23 (Family)|MiG-23]] variants, which only show 4 sectors. Each sector shows an approximation of the direction of the target, although it has its limitations. In order to show that a target is directly ahead, the RWR has to light up 2 sectors that look forwards, and if a target is directly behind, it has to light up 2 sectors that look backwards. This could be easily confused for two different threats that are triggering the RWR system.
+This type of RWR doesn't display the exact direction of the detected threat, and instead only shows it in sectors due to the placement of RWR receivers. One of the most common RWRs that use sectors for displaying threats are the SPO-10 used by the MiG-21, early MiG-23 variants and certain PLAAF jets with equivalent system, which only show 4 sectors around the aircraft; while MiG-29 and Su-27/J-11(A) series opted for a more divided SPO-15 (L-006LM) with 4 sectors per each frontal aspect receivers, only one receiver with two sectors for the rear aspect as shown on the display unit. Each sector shows an approximation of the direction of the target, although it has its limitations.

-==== Semi-Directional RWR (SPO-2) ====
+For example, due to the placement of antenna and receivers on Su-27 series, it has a dead zone right below the aircraft; although the system was said to identify multiple threats, the sectored display can only at most tell the target's azimuth and its altitude relative to the aircraft (B; H represents '''High''' ''Высокий'' and '''Low''' ''Низкий'') at front aspect; players need to pay extreme caution in case of enemy's tailing.
-==== RWR with no tracking capability (AN/ALR-45, AN/APR-25, f95, SPO-2, APP-73 and others) ====
+====Semi-Directional RWR (SPO-2) ====
 These RWRs function like normal with a key difference: If a radar locks the aircraft, there won't be a special text and audio warning, forcing the user to be more attentive to the RWR display and sounds.
