Russians cannot cripple a simple Bayraktar tb2 system, how will they do against f22? )
Yeah, that was pretty sad considering that air defense was modernized recently.turkish airfefense performed more worst in Libya and got destroyed by mig29 or su24 without defending itself
Hawk was a 60 year old air defense system having maximum range of 45 kms. So it is a medium range out dated SAM and does not reflect capabilities of turkish system. An air defense system is one component an overall defense network with multiple layers. Placing just few components do not work.turkish airfefense performed more worst in Libya and got destroyed by mig29 or su24 without defending itself
Nope, it was modernized with a new radar that should have been able to engage new threats.Hawk was a 60 year old air defense system having maximum range of 45 kms.

There are lot of variables other than radar. If a standoff weapon was fired from a distance greater than range then it is pretty much useless. It is not designed to take bigger targets and not small stand off weapons. As a complete system it has to be supported by small anti air gun of CIWS to take on small stand off missiles.Nope, it was modernized with a new radar that should have been able to engage new threats.
