Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space | | | | semi-active laser homing head | Explanation:
This is how it's called by the developer, Geophizika-ART, according to parallel English and Russian descriptions on the referenced web page (see below)
To be sure, you can find the same term on a non-Russian page here:

You can get an idea of why "semi-active laser homing" corresponds to "флюгерного типа" from a Wiki article:
"Semi-active homing systems combine a radar receiver on the missile with a radar broadcaster located "elsewhere". Since the missile is typically being launched after the target was detected using a powerful radar system, it makes sense to use that same radar system to track the target, thereby avoiding problems with resolution or power. SARH is by far the most common "all weather" guidance solution for anti-aircraft systems, both ground and air launched. SALH is a similar system using a laser as a signal..."

30 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 Velocity-vane laser seeker
Explanation:
The hooks joint is a completely rotatable pivot means that is well known inmechanical design that allows the velocity-vane laser seeker to rotate and move in response to the airflow caused by the missiles' velocity.
FIG. 1 illustrates in cutaway perspective view the Texas Instrument prior art pursuit guidance system called a "weathercock or velocity-vane laser seeker guidance system."
