The S-400 Missile System in Details

[Taygibay]

Khalid got it right. These nomenclatures are hard to follow, S-400 itself being the new name of S-300 last variant.
Here are the ranges :
S-400 makes use of 3 missiles : very long range 40N6 [ 400km ], long range 48N6-E2/E3 [ 200/250 km ] and
medium range 9M96E2 [ 120 km ]. The first missile it used had a mere 40-60 km in range.

The AESA detection radar range can go upwards of the 40N6 range : 500-600km.

So it all depends on what missile you get.

If more than one type can be fired by the same control station, it makes the self-defence possible,
( with short range ones protecting the system itself ) which would be very potent.

Have a good day all, Tay.

S-400 are covered from air attacks by the "Pantsir-S" systems.

Where is the place of the Tor - M mobile defence in the russian layers then ?

Where is the place of the Tor - M mobile defence in the russian layers then ?

With Tungushka's (both tracked) in the mobile (army) armor formations

The S-400 Triumf mobile Multiple anti-aircraft missile system (AAMS)
The AAMS is design to destroy all current and future aerospace threats

<chuckle> "effective targets"
It either a target or not.

 

[Taygibay]

S-400 are covered from air attacks by the "Pantsir-S" systems.

I knew that, Vostok, but was referring to a possible missile/battery mix'n match option,
I.E. the one S-400 system then doing it all on its own, no Pantsirs.

Good day to you, man, Tay.,

Well, its maximum target range is 200 km. Depends upon the missile you are using. Also, it is believed to be the Chinese version of S-300.

The 400 KM range missile is not available for export. It is only for Russia.

Wiki says it uses AESA radars, the export version offered to Turkey FD-2000 doesn't have it.
HQ-9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is no evidence that suggests the HQ-9 was developed from the S-300.

The Chinese variants of the S-300 are called the HQ-15 and HQ-18.
