Preparation
We put GPS on one of our MFDs(1), and then New Group (2)


Entering the GPS coordinates of the target
Select TGP (1) on your second MFD.



Power it up by presing PWR (1) Then use SOI (2) and zoom (3) to find your target. And when POINT lights up next to him (4). (It means you are aiming exactly at the target.) Press GPS-S (5). This will save the coordinates for the missile. Now press HOME (6) to return back.

Setting the route for the missile
Now on your second MFD press NAV (1)



Now use SOI and ZOOM (1) to find the path to the missile. And mark several route points with GPS-S (2) (it is good to mark the places where the route will turn). Mark the route so that the first point of the route is closer to you and the last point of the route is closer to the enemy. It should look similar to the picture below.



Now turn your attention to your MFD with GPS. You should have a similar situation there as I in the picture below. My target (3) is at the very top and that's wrong. I need to get him all the way down so he's at the end of the trail, not at the beginning. It's easy to do. I have to have a target marked with a green line. If I do not, mark it using the arrows at the top right (1) So when the target is crossed by the green line. We move it all the way down using the double arrows at the bottom right (2). When the destination is at the very bottom, we move the green line back up, using ordinary arrows (1) to the beginning of the route !!!!!



Now that the green line is at the top and the target is at the bottom, you can press PATH (1) to create a route for the missile. You will also see the change on NAV, the squares will be connected by a line. You now have the route for the missile set.

Missile firing
We will fly to a sufficient height, because it takes a while for the missile to initialize. We head to the first waypoint of the route (Triangle on HUD(1)). We will unlock the weapons and select the AGM-161. And when we hear Shoot and the orange lights (2) come on. We can finally fire. Just press the trigger.

As long as there isn't a big elevation change in the way, it can work.

i literally just GPS send right on the target and fire, you dont necessarily have to make a path for it.

I know the self-propelled flight time and it's 240s. "Cruise Duration 240s"

It should be noted that if you already know the rough location of the target, you should do the majority of the programming before takeoff. If you have an exact location of the target (like if it's a RADAR or fixed SAM site) you can also do the final program on the ground too. Usually the fixed buildings' concrete pad will show up on their own in the targeting map
