10-15k detection is still impressive.
Not if it's connected with national wide airdefense and radar systems.
Have you just claimed that 2 battery of s400 would be connected with all Turkish ground radars?
10-15k altitude what ? Meter or feet and which range?
I have just shared the maximum range of xband signals...
Waste of money for which missions? Can you understand , your enemies would never attack you at 45.000f altitude.!!! And for dedecting AWACS aircraft with big RCS at 400km spending 2billion is very smart. (you are already capable of it ) you could have bought cheaper systems.
S400 is good air defense but only if integrated with other assets like hisar a hisar o and other assets through kement data link bur for this we will have to wait perhaps until 2023
S400 working alone has been never been tested so despite being impressive on paper
there are legitimate doubts about effectiveness on the field
In syria it’s true that they closed airspace
but russians have placed all kinds of air defense plus regime batteries like s-200/s-300 they have multi layered defense that’s why they control skies
I can't understand why on the earth you should buy SAM system which you will connect with domestic SAM systems which are capable of searching and engaging and hitting.
It looks like as if you were buying s400 to connect with your future s300s. Guys s400 is s300 or Hisar with extended radar range.
Who says russians have multilayer air defence with s400 and s300. It is bullshit.
There is any multilayer umbrella consists from s300 and s400s. Bullshit.
If there is s300 , they wont use additional s400.
TOR- which is equivalent of Turkish HiSAR-A -is being used for low altitude covering. However TOR and S400 have any connected link between them. Bought are separated autonomous systems.
You all are tempted by 400km range of s400 but it is effective at very high altitude. So you spent twice for nothing. Russia is very large country they need cover airspace against from AWACS and B52s, that's all. They didn't aim to hit any f35 from Moscow above siberia , while sitting in the capital.
Your ground radars and f16s already can engage AWACS above your country.
I would like to know why Russians produce diverse missiles with different ranges for s400? Why dont all missiles have 400km range? Why isnt s400 system supplied just with 40N6E missiles? Why there is a missile 9m96e which has 100km range? Is it possible that they might have been aware of capability of s400system? And they might not have expectedmore ?
