S400 also has a "return to sender" mode.
What lol
@@spencerstevens2175There is a video from the Russian-Ukrainian War of an S400 missile flying straight back at the S400.
@@spencerstevens2175there is a video of a Russian SAM launcher getting destroyed by its own missile, that did a u-turn...
Pure cartoon comedy. S400, proudly made by ACME Manufacturing Company.
@@Damien.D ah I thought you meant it could send stuff back launched by adversaries
The return to sender mode is a free upgrade for S400
It's best to never underestimate your enemy. Plan for them to be capable and you might be pleasantly surprised to find they're not.
That paranoid mindset is what making US old arsenal proving their point in Ukraine hands, and make them victor of the cold war.
The US did that already. Russia made the MIG 25 and the US got scared. Their response? The F-15 Eagle.
Once proven to bluff a lot, you can't always play this way, since the bluff is to blunt your advantage. You test it. Yes, it may cost, but you test it. Otherwise they get an advantage at NO cost. Türkiye found this out the hard way!
S400 is a joke....can't even protect itself in Ukraine
The US never underestimates another country’s air capabilities. They spend billions if not trillions creating aircraft capable of defeating enemy aircraft/air defense systems.
The problem with those low frequency radars is that you might was well hang sign saying “target HARM missile here”
You need to scan through the low frequency's in order to pick up stealth aircraft and missiles.
I think an SPS-48 (old or new, can pick up and track stealth).
But can the FT's lock on without losing them if they turn?
Throw bad weather into the mix and it might get king of hairy.
Harm missiles aren't effective against scan array raidars. Wich is a search raider on a modern air defense system. That's how they track and target so many targets simultaneously, they only illuminate each momentary. Not enough signal to lock on.
@@Johnnycdrums HAARM WILL lock....
@@panan7777 ; If you inhibit your air aquisistion radar from scanning through all the frequency's, you are degrading it.
There is a doctrine for shutting off all transmitters (don't forget transponders), hidding behind an island somewhere, and then when given the order, light off everything you got, fully realizing the enemy now knows who, and target bearing at minimum.
HARM missiles are immune to interception?
The Russians also said their tanks can withstand a nuclear blast, but a 3k drone is destroying them in Ukraine 😂
Russian fanboys: "we have intercepted your drone with our tank! You were so naive ! Victory will be a matter of minutes"
Never said
3k ? More like 3 pounds
Never underestimate the Russians, look and read what happened with Napoleon and his army and the arrogance from Hitler.
@@mozes1745 Yeah he whooped Russian but then ran out of food in the winter . Germans whooped Russian butt until several non Russian army factors , Afghans stomped a hole in their butt ( in k.i.a terms) . And now an army they had an over 10 to advantage against is making them the literal laughing stock of the world. Russians better watch their eastern borders with China , because I'm sure it's looking like a real easy target now .
Russia: we’ve built the best air defence system!*
*on paper
With paper.
yeah like Russia has the second best army ......in Ukraine
It seems your consoling yourself after Russia defeated you.
NEVER FORGET

@@texture6the AK is considered a peasant weapon. You need no IQ to use it lol 😂
Russian math: our battalion of 8 launchers with 4 tubes can handle...80 targets at once!!!
I don't think the S-400 is a joke, rather I think it is just old. Its tech was designed over 30 years ago, its S-300 legacy components are even older. It was built to counter a threat environment which looked fundamentally different from the modern battlefield.
I would agree. It is a decent system again old tech platforms and poorly trained pilots. That may apply in many places in the world. But Türkiye should have known better! They had access to NATO evaluations.
And the patriot system is not the same age?
They had them in the first Gulf war in 1990 and it was disappointing to say the least.
@@spartanconscience2693 Except that Patriot has regular upgrades. S-400 has had only a few.
@@DavidFMayerPhD The word upgrade can mean either to rectify problems or to make it better. However the more so called upgrades usually means more problems of unreliability.
The less means nothing more that needs improving.
It's certainly not a joke, a bit overrated by some.
"The S-400 is as good if not better than the Patriot System."
That had me dying!😂😂
why, dude? :))
Why ???
@@mikhailsevryukov4056 because it's not.
Patriot is getting 90% intercept against cruise missiles and S-400 is getting whacked by Storm shadow, a 30year old missile 😂
@@matt.willoughby nice theory 🤷♂️
Hype storm shadow then. If you launched storm shadow at a patriot it would hit. It’s not like Patriots are using any widely different tech or methods.
AD is AD, Radar is Radar.
Russia does not yet have such storm shadow type missiles in large production.
They did send one similar grow hugging missile at the recent power plant which was supposably protected by patriot.

Junk can still shoot down junk.
@@hooywamd00pe95 and Ukraine can capture more and more cities of Russia 🤣🤣

That’s pretty much what it is.
They were actually constructed from repurposed drain pipes
You should know that its cold launch system is state of art.
Just like Patriots. But unlike Patriots, it can launch missile in any direction. Vertical launching from vehicles, opposed to vessels, is too complicated technology for US MIC to design and field.
Russia and it's stuff has always been a joke, but then, quantity is a quality in it's own right
But they don't even produce it in enough quantity
Man, it sounds like a broken record with these people and that stupid Stalin quote. Yes we all have heard it about a million times.
Correction: A joke maybe for a super power or a near peer to a super power. but for everyone else, they'll work just fine.
P.S. And it's arguably, a training issue. Russia has some super power equipment but the human element is not up to par.
Yep, our Sherman tanks were not good tanks in WWII. But when a German tank could take out 10 Shermans, we had 11. (Quote from a German General more or less)
Like the USA always copy British ideas... Commandos /Rangers, OSS, CIA, green berets, Delta force, us seals etc
Remember not so long ago when Russian fanboys were hyping S-400 as a “stealth killer”? Lol.
What other weapon system in the world ever shot down 2x AWACS planes within a week? Only S-400 can do that. At least if you believe russian version. My bet is on Ukrainians. Noone would be that stupid to think there is Ukraine aircraft over sea of Azov...
No, S-125 Neva is stealth killer with proven track records.
And us said patriot stops everything 😂🤣😂 yeah... As a target 🤣😂
Don't forget how the Armata was going to give the Abrams a run for its money but can't be operated reliably on parade grounds
@@arthas640 you are right. End result was that Abrams had to accept destruction by much older weapons.😂

@@alfran1 like the free, democratic West!
Why are they beating the entire western world in a proxy-war then?
Everyone knows the reason the USSR and later the Russians put so much into SAM systems is because they have always been relatively weak in the air.
It is funny because USAF was of different opinion.
@@BojanPeric-kq9etthe USAF needed to big up the russian airforce to secure funding.
The russians focused on air defence because their solutions to technical problems like radar were and are bulky. That doesn't matter so much on the ground.
I heard Russians are fighting with space shovels and use washing machine chips because of shortage XD
Oh, I last heard that the Soviet used to buy it from Japan during the Cols War!? 😅
S-400. S-stands for shovel.
They are using cruising guided antitank washing machines. Similar to Mavericks, but without explosive charge. Instead, they use pure weight and kinetic effect.

I would never say it is a joke. Is it as good as it is on paper? Doubtful, but its still effective and a threat to pilots and aircrew.
So where was it when Ukrainians vaporized oil refineries, and tank factory few days ago? They did it not with a modern weaponry, but handmade drones. Curtain.
@@kolakpatolik1857 I find it very unlikely Russia has any air defense systems that deep in the country. This strike may actually force them to reposition assets away from the front to protect critical infrastructure.
@@darex0827why not on the Ukraine border where threats are guaranteed. Lol. Yes these airplanes. Helicopters and drones. Himars missiles and more evade s300 s400 and s500. Even Moscow the capital itself has no effective defence as it's also been hit.
@@jjjr.1186 100%. The system is definitely not perfect by any means. That doesn't chance my original premise of the system being a threat.
@@darex0827 any system will be a threat even the Ukrainian Buk missile system
Are you sure Russia has seven functional AWACS style aircraft? Others have said they have two or three functional and the others are being used for parts.
It’s three or it was three. Just one now. The others are spare parts or being upgraded.
It’s debatable how many operational planes are left but effectively they have 0 because at this point they’ve likely learned a hard lesson and won’t let them go anywhere near Ukraine.
They are out of missiles too, and they figjt with shovels. Ofcourse your intel is military grade and all ther awcs were vaporised by ghost 0f Kiekokainsk
@@cruisinguy6024 Yes & another problem is having the expierenced personel for this kinda of advanced plane, those that were, died with them..

The "Great Sultan" of Turkey made a huge mistake buying Russian S-400. No F-35s for that clown.
Ask the Ukrainians how much of a joke it really is
Well S-400 has excellent missiles. But antiquated radar, fire control and IFF. A combination that makes it deadly to friendly aircraft, and requires frequent shutdowns of air defense. With radars the situation is bad because while Russians make them powerful and use correct bands for correct tasks - they somehow fail at providing clear picture. Their radars see objects far away, but are unable to classify/identify them. Just like in western radars, algorythms are used to filter out the noise unrelated objects like birds and stuff - but Russian radars seem to often filter out valid enemy aircraft/munitions from view.
What I want to say is that key feature of S-400 is it's unreliability. One time it will snipe aircraft at 100 km perfectly fine, another time it won't even react to enemy within range, and yet another time it will shoot down a friendly aircraft. It's all over the place.
Technically western systems are less capable - but 80-90% efficient at what they do, Russian systems are more capable but give you 50/50 chance of working as intended.
You could have just said "the C400 system is crap"....
@@TrevorSachko That would be simply my opinion then, I wanted to show my logic/observations as to why I think S-400 is crap.
This means that Russian weapons have power, but they lack in computing power
On the other hand, the Chinese have strong computing power, but their weapons lack power. A combination of the two could give weapons that are close to American weapons
@@TrevorSachko is Patriot any better?
@@BojanPeric-kq9et I know you are asking different guy but... In some ways Patriot is better. But it's not that simple. Patriot is overall more reliable system. It's software and radar was combat tested time and time again, had way more action than S-300/S-400 ever saw, . But Patriot is also more limited system - It only does this ~120 km range / short ballistic defense. It does it well.
But S-300/S-400 has A LOT of different missiles reaching out to like 400+ KM with crazy large missiles, to very nimble rockets with ~30 km range. S 300/S 400 also has it's own early warning radars - something that for Patriot needs to be provided externally by different systems - so it is more... self - contained than Patriot, you can use it by itself and it will work, Patriot needs to have other systems supporting it to be effective.
Just when militaries of the past called their opponents what could be termed as "a joke" is when they were caught short. History repeats itself in many different ways.
You are thinking wrong. USA is calling what it sees a joke. Which is to be expected. The conflict started when Russia called Ukraine a joke and went into full bully mode. Any retaliation is justified.
let me preface this. Israel has been using American technology for decades destroying the BEST Russia has. That's enough evidence okay? Russia makes inferior tech. Just like they have no industry that will leave a mark on this planet long after they collapse. You don't drive Russian cars, you don't use Russian electronics, the only thing Russia has is Oil and oligarchs. That is the only thing Russia will leave behind.
@@jank5989 And this is the sort of talk that's going to get us into WWIII. Honestly, how you even believe such garbage is beyond me. "Any retaliation is justified" he says, not realizing that Ukraine will cease to exist as a country because they were stupid enough to trust the people who only know how to fight based on the Gulf War, and nothing else.

Seems their refineries keep exploding and catching on fire.
Yeah, turns out it's just a gas station, the money to maintain the nukes was used to buy oligarchs more mega-yachts.
The art of anti stealth is making the enemy think it has full stealth.
Hmmm, meaning what exactly?
2007?! I don't think Russia can replace the Blackberry phones controlling the missiles because they don't make them anymore.
They'll have to resort to using eBay lmao
Lets hope that we never have to know how those things work against each other.

Ukraine still getting them, but they were postponed due to a lack of pilots and a lack of a suitable airport for them.

That's somewhat more useful. I fear the F16 may not last long in the air.

Did he say the F 35 was more stealthy than the F 22 raptor? This is not accurate.
I've been seeing this in some other reports too. It's possible the USAF hasn't been completely honest about the stealth comparison between the F22 and F35, either previously or now, so cant say for sure. However it makes sense actually that F35 is more stealthy. It was developed by the same company, but several years later with advancements in RAM and geometry. Seems like it -should- be more stealthy. Well likely never know for sure.
We were on the program YF-23 and X-32. So I'm biased towards the 22 and 35.
The YF-22 and the F-22 have better RCS than the 35.
Public information shows the 35 @ 0.001 and the 22 @ 0.0001. No these are not accurate numbers. The 22 is a little better than 0.00001.
Remember, the 35 is the ugly step child.
@@Istandby666I've heard rumor that while overall the f-22 is more stealthy, the F-35 is specifically more stealthy from the frontal aspect than the F-22
The F-35 is more cumulatively stealthy than the F-22. The F-22 is more standalone stealthy than the F-35.
Its harder to see and track an F-22 simply flying in stealth mode compared to the F-35 but the F-35’s ability to jam enemy radar and then kill it from BVR makes it more untrackable and unhittable than the F-22 alone. Once the F-35 goes EW, it’s essentially invisible, even more “stealthy” than the F-22.
The F-22 is stealthier as it has the RCS of 0.0001m2, about the size of a bumblebee (same as a B-2). The F-35, the RCS is 0.005m2 or about a golf ball however the F-35 has a weakness in the rear due to the large nozzle. For comparison the B-1 with its low observable design has a RCS of 10m2, and the F-15 25m2. Of course it’s not so cut and dry but the F-35 was never intended to be more stealthy than the F-22 and B-2 as that would have significantly increased the cost and hurt its multi purpose design. The F-35 from the front has a slightly smaller RCS than the F-117 but keep in mind the F-117 was also designed for IR stealth, from the rear the F-35 is a big bright red juicy target.
The important thing to remember is the F-22 and B-2 are 1980s tech. Think about how ancient that is in technological terms - the smartphone in your pocket is far more capable than a supercomputer when these planes were designed and back then a mobile phone was the size of small briefcase. The technology in the NGAD and B-21 programs is probably 30 years ahead of any foreign nation, heck it’s taken Russia and China 35 years and they still can’t come remotely close to the 40 year old tech of the B-2 or F-22. Think about for a moment.
Equivalent to the Patriot, what a joke.. And that's almost 40 years on hahahahha
abrams n patriots left the chat
I'm not an expert but with the information I have, I would not bother with an S-400. That 60 year old Russian tanks still work is a somewhat impressive. It seems like the Russian hardware is never the bestn but it lasts a long time and is easy to maintain.
Whereas the much newer US tanks burn very well.
So if it is as easy to maintain as you say, why dont they maintain it?
@@TrevorSachkoFrom a lot that I have read, they likely spent the $ ear marked for maintenance to buy foreign luxury villas and yachts.
Try it out, then make a statement -
(if you survive).
Navy zero'ed out the budget line item for FA-XX this week for the 2025 budget. So its effectively a dead effort. If they want to bring it back for FY 2026, it will have to be re-competed against other budget requests to even make it into the request. One can only assume either they didn't feel it was making as much progress as desired, or they hope to piggy back on the Air Force NGAD, or hope to derive from that program instead.
A lot of times when you see a developmental budget zero out, it means it has transitioned to a funded program under a different source of funds. Not sure what it going on with FA-XX, but something to think about.
My honest opinion is that it was a calculated move by NATO particularly the US and Turkey to acquire the S400 to study it and test its weaknesses and Russia fell for it.
By the way, S-400 is old thing.
Then why did USA freeze Turkey out of the F-35 program and steal the $1.4bn Turkey sunk into F-35 development?

I am not aware of public information (not speculations!) about possible upgrades in S-400 systems, but original S-400 (and even more original S-300) is not quite "latest and greatest".
One of the most interesting things I have seen in the last few months was the Israeli, American, UK etc. response to the Iranian missle attack. Iran sent hundreds of missles, cruise missles and drones at Israel and they were virtually all swatted down. I found that to be really impressive. What happens when the US starts employing high energy beem weapons?
The real joke is the countries believing Ruzzian and bought these over priced scam.
This discussion is deep! Lots of military experts chipping in 😂
Let's not forget the failure of the S-400 to defend and take down the Storm Shadow missiles that devastated the Black Sea Fleet's HQ which was an incredibly well defended point, not only by the S-400 but with an overlapping BUK, TOR and Pantsir systems. They all failed to detect or at least engage and take down the incoming stealthy Storm Shadows.
We've seen what the Ukrainians did and are still doing to the "legendary", "vaunted" and "the best air defense systems in the world". Now imagine NATO taking a shot with all its might, including the 5th gen stealthy fighter jets combined with the B-2 stealth bombers. Now add the 4th gen fighters carrying the long range stealthy missiles in massive numbers, missiles like the aforementioned Storm Shadows augmented by the much longer ranged JASSMs plus the Joint Strike missile, high speed anti radiation missiles and last but not the least - the mighty Tomahawks fired from the destroyers and submarines...
Imagine how well would the Russian integrated air defense system cope with all of the above... The Russian Armed Forces would be decimated within a week and Putin would directly threaten specific cities with a nuclear attack an hour after the demolition of his forces started... Of course, nobody would ever want to send a single NATO soldier on the RUssian territory, but the nuclear threats would be responded with a gentle reminder that the multiple NATO members are the nuclear powers themselves so any use of the weapon would result in a response in kind so therefore is a non starter,...
If Russia would not be a nuclear power, USA would have "liberate" it as it did with other countries in the middle east.

Russian air defense is a laughable matter to people who aren't pilots I guess. 🤷♀
More dangerous for Russian pilots these days, they've been shooting down their own.
@@Blodhelm 100% because Ukrainians don't fly anything.
One more thing about 4th gen and 4.5gen planes is western jets tend to have a lower RCS vs Soviet/Russian jets.
Saab Gripon 1.5m
F18 1m
F16 5m
Su 27 15m
Su 33 5m
Mig 31 15m
Russia does have low RCS jets like the Su 35 at 1m... but they only have built around 150.
The Rafale, Eurofighter, and Super Hornet are roughly the same RCS and there are around 250, 550, and 600 of them in service.
This video taught me one thing - Use clear epoxy blocks under my items.
If it goes hot i bet the s400 crews wont be standing next to those systems.
Now do a analysis on the US patriot system
Superior. Patriot system is superior to anything the Chinese and Russia made. Intercepting all of their fake Hypersonic missiles with ease. :>
ROFL. Are you confusing Taiwan with China? Taiwan uses the Patriot.
Letting Russia and Serbia delude themselves into believing their SAM systems were anti-stealth was the greatest psy-op of all time
And US military might is good only against small 3rd world countries. North Korea is peer adversary for US. North Korea...
Nations who bought this system will regret it when they need it for defence. The Russian mind set does not allow deviations to sort out the problems.

Truth
On the dot gist
How is it that they all forgoten how entire n4ato did not manage to supress and "anihilate" airdefence of tiny winy Yugoslavia?
How's that three day operation going? How well are Russia's modern equipment fairing against Cold War Era equipment?
If S-400, s-500, S-550 are not good air defense systems, are there really any good air defense systems in the world? Patriot is inferior even to cold war S-300. So, which one is the "good" air defense system?
The 140mm main gun that Nexter is pushing instead of the Rh-130 - the result of more than a decade of development by the leading producer of tank guns - uses some kind of telescope technique for the ammo and doesn't even exist as a prototype yet.
What is known however is that in it's current design it would produce 19MJ kinetic energy for the projectile, compared to 20MJ for the Rh130.
Now maybe there's potential for improvement, but until they improve the gun, it is inferior to the Rh130 despite the significantly larger calibre.
For comparison, the Rh130 sports no less than an increase in kinetic energy of 50% for.APFSDD projectiles leaving the barrel compared to the Rh120 L/55 used in the Leopard 2A7V and still an increase of about 40% compared to their newest Rh120 L/55A1 with their newest APFSDS round utilized on the Leopard 2A8 and available as an option for the KF51 - for users that don't want to buy into a tank with only a single company providing ammunition of the right calibre.
It actually "sports" bugger all as it does not exist...
"advancements" are "advances". "Enhancements" might be the word you are looking for?
Seems that all Russian systems are overhyped and American systems are under hyped.
Eh there's a quality to over hyping. The only way to really find out is to go toe to toe. May make someone think twice, avoiding conflict.
Obviously, Russia plans on selling a lot of this stuff too. So there's that
What is _Patriot_ doing? ;-)

US sitting here king of the Hill
Always
Really? What use is power if it can't be exercised? The US has lost all credibility-the world recognises it for the political basket case it is.
Vietnam! I could name scores of yank retreats but then my views aren’t puerile.
I could also mention how the yanks cowered at home, hiding behind appeasement until they joined the war, but only after being attacked first. Now was that the first or second world wars.
Oh gosh yes, it was both..!
Or I could mention that America didn’t win WW2 or anything else, the greatest credit is that of Russia and Britain and the Empire.
I could also mention how your other wars haven’t really gone that well.
Korea tie
Cuba loss
Vietnam loss
Drugs loss
Iraq 1 draw
Iraq 2 loss
Afghanistan loss
Have I missed anything?
@@Hew.Jarsollol typical Russian bot fantasy/revisionist history. Very entertaining, thanks for the laugh.
You missed 50 years it seems, welcome to the future old man.
During the war, if you can maintain and release new missiles ASAP, it could be crucial. Price comparison with other western alternative would be good to see as well
Would it look nice on a parade ?
Da.
Build it !
As for Nato air defense systems, lets not forget that on March 10th 2022 old Soviet 6200 kg 13700 lbs Tupoljev drone 13 meters long technology from 50 years ago. That drone crused over 3 Nato member countries and landed in center of Zagreb Croatia😮. Luckily no one was injured. How come that Romania, Slovakia, Hungary nor Croatia was able to shoot it down? That is over 1000km from Ukrainian border.
Because no one expected Russia to do something that stupid over countries at peace. Russia can’t even control its forces. It has lunatics running things.
The answer to that question should be obvious. Then again, maybe not....
Well, as long as it's track does not show that it's headed for a designated protected area, most NATO SAM's will not engage it
i guess nato hides its actual air defence capabilities for an actual war to make a nasty suprise to any hostile
@@pogo1140 no SAM and no fighters to intercept it? Come on. That is worse than Cesna on Red Square.
Because Russia is a joke
The joke that defeated the collective west.

NEVER FORGET
a Yugoslav Army unit shot down an F-117 Nighthawk stealth aircraft of the United States Air Force by firing a S-125 Neva/Pechora surface-to-air missile
ALSO THE AK-47 is WELL TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD
An American MQ-9 Reaper flying near Yemen has been shot down by Houthi militants
No real way to know until the fight happens....chances are good there are unknown surprises on all sides.
Given that Ukraine was able to fly at least two general aviation aircraft over 900 nmi deep into Russia and strike high value targets without so much as a single inquiry by Russia much less fighter scramble, I would submit an F-35 would just fly between the alleged radar net and strike what ever target you want. I doubt they would be able to mount any credible defense. You could probably even do this with a flight of F-16s.
It’s one of the reasons why they hated the B-1A so much, and got traitors inside the US to kill it. Reagan revived it as the B-1B, which doesn’t go Mach 2 like the B-1A did.
Это когда такое было?)
17:13 Crimea is also internationally recognized as Ukrainian sovereign territoriy. Its conquest and annexation by Russia was in spite of international Law, and specifically the UN Charter.
Russian is not going to give back Crimea to Ukraine. Never going to happen.
NATO countries had showed that "internationally recognized sovereign territory" is actually very fluid term which can be changed by military force.
UN and International Law are passe for US. POTUS etc are all about "rules based order".
The S400 is meant to work in a team with multiple radars (in order to triangulate) and a low altitude air defence system.
Correction: the F-22 raptor has a smaller cross section than the F-35. The F-22 Raptor has a radar cross-section (RCS) of 0.0001 square meters, which is about the size of a marble or a bumblebee.
And the F-35 has a radar cross section (RCS) of about 0.0015 square meters, which is roughly the size of a metal golf ball. This is smaller than the F-117, but comparable to the B-2. F-35=golf ball>F-22 Bumble Bee or marble
The golf ball is larger
The actual truth is Russia has better air defenses then we do, don’t get it twisted. The first causalty in war is the truth, also never underestimate your enemy
😂😂 You must've lived under a rock past 2 years.. Did you even watch this video?
@@bekeneelit is likely true. The U.S. doesn’t invest much in anti-air technology since it expects to not need it very much due to U.S. air supremacy. Most American launchers focus on anti-ballistic-missile capabilities. The tremendous standoff distances the U.S. operates at eliminates the need for substantial anti-aircraft ground units.
@@bekeneel I literally know people who are seeing this shit first hand 🤦🏻♂️
@@foxglow6798 Lol, come on. They have Patriot, that has been much & long upgraded, clearly better than anything russia or china has. There is Thaad & Aegis specifically against ballistic missile threats. Spy satellites.. And they're close also to laser weapons to take out air targets. Also have powerful CIWS like PHalanx or other CRAM guns. That is a lot & requires lots of research, investment & technology.. I think it's pretty far ahead anything the other "superpowers" have. And that's only what we know of..
@@bekeneelpatriot Can't detect F-35 but S-300 Syria Deceted F-35 and also Proves This video is USA Shi* 🤣
Last time this same channel told Ukraine is winning but reality
Ukraine losing more casualties and also Land
Remember cry only in this kind of videos 😭 but
Legend's win in realty ☠️
Remember when entire n4to could not "anihilate" relict air defence of microscopic Yugoslavia??
I’m sure turkey got more than fairly compensated by the US for buying S400s
We couldn’t even take out Afghanistan…. What the hell are you guys smoking?
Like russia?!
@@Chrischos yeah that was in the 80s genius. We’re allegedly so much farther advanced. Our leadership at the top is pathetic and has been after Desert Storm.
The difference is that Russia did leave afghanistan calmly with flags rised high compared to humiliating retreat of most technological army in the world lol
@@alexjakobsson1171 Nobody cares about that and that doesnt give anyone the right to invade other countries go seek help
@@Chrischos and here comes pretty standart and typical answer. So its ok when invading is done by not russia? Hypocrit
Hollywood script
The great Military Circus Show. LOL!!!!!
And dont forget 1999. When Serbia drop 3 Airplanes F117 A with NEVA and KUB System. and a lot other Airplanes and rolets. with weapons From 1950.
Well, I'm old enough to remember a stealth fighter being shot down by an old S125 "Russian joke air defense system".
Yeah...know some fighter pilots who have huge respect for Russian Air defense 😅😅😅
@@pietskiet42-_ Really? Probably not those who spent a wonderful time at the Hanoi Hotel...
@@pathfinderclLeaving a lot of details out from that story though. NATO complacency in mission planning, spies near the launch airfield, just the incredibly amount of luck that one radar sweep caught the aircraft at the exact moment it's not stealthy when it's bomb bays are open, etc. and that it still destroyed its target. And that no other craft was ever successfully shot down again, even though they kept doing bombing runs still.
@@CorporalCookie Yea indeed, an F35 now or B2 or so would never take such risks now even.. It's funny I used to actually wonder if S400 could really detect or beat F35, well the answer became clear lol. The Ukranians found out the huge limits of S300 too sadly.. Only decent to target aircraft I suppose, but that's it..
S400 is garbage in comparison to the Patriot battery…
So the S400 came out in 2007...
Cue in "What I've done" by Linkin Park
multilayered radars and defense backups will fill the lacks in any system if even not effective enough.ISR and spoofing is the biggest threats from longer range stealthier guided means.numbers are still more effective than high priced hyped means
Your on about a county that had New York done by a few amateurs in stolen passenger planes 😂
What? Russia was behind 9/11?
They tried with the F117 in Serbia... Old air defense system shut down the invisible plane... 😂😂😂
I mean, yeah, but a huge factor in that single aircraft being shot down was the US having really terrible operational security.
The Yugoslavs knew exactly when the Nighthawks left, where they were going and when they’d get there, which kinda undermines the whole point of stealth.
Defending against stealth aircraft gets A LOT more complicated if you don’t know exactly where they’ll be ahead of time.
If Stealth aircraft are as dogshit as you’re seeming to claim, surely they’d have lost more than 1?
If you actually look at how the Serbians pulled off the shooting down of the F117, I'd say the stealth capabilities were quite effective. The Serbians figured out the route F117s were flying and got extremely lucky as they could only turn their radars on for seconds at a time to avoid HARMs.
The S stands for Xux and the 400 means it is only good for 400 feet. the Su-35 means xux unlimited with range of 350 feet
