HIMARS defeat S-400 system

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

The technology, and that's about it. The S-400 is a good system, despite the selective footage. It's just meant for dealing with systems like HIMARS.

S-400 has very limited engagement envelop. The latest S-350 has short range missiles 10 km medium range missiles 50 km long range missiles range 120 km and provides all aspect engagement envelop. It is much more difficult to counter S-350 compared to S-400.

Mlrs and uav combo can overwhelm any air defence

And whole swarm will cost less than a single air defence missile

S400 is a high altitude air defence system for bombers and fighter jets

HIMARS is very fast and low, it makes interception very hard and Ukraine fires these with low level attack

S400 really has no chance

for HIMAR a Iron Dome will have more success rate

but Iron Dome is not good at high altitude air defence

so its about each system and for what it was designed for

so Russia now focuses more on jamming these systems and jamming the GPS and electronic warfare

Pantsir is good against low level air threats. It's basically a land CIWS.

And literally none of that has anything to do with my point.

This and the Tor system are good

Unfortunately they don’t have the best fire and control radars

It's good enough. They also have thermal on Pantsir.

HIMARS is an MBRL, no way an S400 can defend itself from rockets.

Plus the Ukrainians are not firing just one missile at the time. They fire older Soviet made missiles along side the GMLRS in order to confuse Russian air defences. It’s a nice tactic.

There's not many Grads left. More than 90% had been destroyed over the past 2 years.

Another reason is that the Ukrainians received the AGM-88 HARM, and they are operational. That’s why they are extremely happy when the S-400S turn on their radars.

Ukraine only has a few MiG-29. HARM is an effective missiles. But its performance is severely degraded by lack of carrier aircraft. Many old MiG-29 had crashed over the past 2 years in accidents.

The HARM missiles have a 160km range can be fired when the jet is flying low out of the range

That's max range. Effective range in real world condition is probably something like 50 km.

 

[KAL-EL]

HIMARS seems to be quite deadly.
