It looks like this article has been copied from http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/s/sa/sa-8_gecko1.htm
- oops, my bad. The article actually has copied its contents from wikipedia. no need to write a new article.
Also, the article says that Gecko uses radar SACLOS guidance as it primary means of targeting. This is not the case: SA-8 targetcing system uses radar and the missile is beam riding, thus being a Semi-active_radar_homing beam-riding missile. For a missile to have SACLOS guidange, it has to be 1) beam riding (be it radar, laser or just an imaginary line) and 2) manually controlled.
