Sorry for asking a simple question.

So let me get this right they note the speed, check the chart for who's in the area then have a cigarette then phone and have a discussion who's going to attempt to shoot the missle down.

The Russians have a control module which tracks and decides what missle is going to intercept. There was one captured in March in Ukraine.

whatever you're talking about as a "control module" is likely a single AA battalion's control center, which coordinates the systems under the battalion, which can have dozens of launchers, but what you're asking about is coordination of multiple SAM battalions, and to make it even more complicated, SAM battalions across different countries and armies.
