The decoy have 500 nautical miles range and from 200 nautical miles it have jam capability for SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defense). With combination of cruise missiles, anti radiation missiles and even anti radiation suicide drones the DEAD (Destruction of Enemy Air Defense) can be conducted. The S400s radar range is lets say 600km. The destruction is lets say 400km with 40N6 that I think is still not operational but even if it is. One battalion have ~12 launchers with 4 missiles each. It can take a bit of time until they run out of missiles but at the end the decoys will get in range in order to suppress the system and thats the most important part. From there stealth fighters can intervene with their payload cruise missiles/anti radiation missiles and even suicide drones or other land/sea launched systems can be taken into action. It starts when formation of decoys stimulates the air defense systems helping with finding the place to hit and classification of the targets. I think its pretty possible.the problem is, S400 has capability to shoot down the carrier, before even it can lunch them..
