JF17 strikes on S400 failed utterly. You guys couldn't hit anything of note and there is 0 evidence unless you count le Physics Professor Auragnzebs centre of gravity explanation. The launchers and main radars were unscathed.
JF17 with Cm400akg is not a perfect combo for a successful SEAD mission.
If the s-400 had been taken out the 10th May strike wouldn't have be successful. The cm-400 akg is just a ballistic missile with no real maneuverability. It would have been intercepted plus the s-400 team were switching positions
My bad. I ended up mixing up the sixth generation jet requirement with 5th generation procurement.There is one discussion regarding association with European partners for 6th generation jet while there is an older discussion ongoing regarding 5th generation jet requirement, be it from AMCA, F35, Su (2 different jets) etc.
Chinese SEAD weapons lack in range except that ALBM of 2,000 km they have unfortunately for you that only fits on H6 bomber which PAF doesn't have. Other than that they only have that 200 km SEAD weapon whose name I forgot. Using that against S400 is suicidal.
.
Pak Saab Erieye has detection range of 350 km in EW environment. Tracking range goes down to 250 km. You can check official sources for this.
Ground based sam.
There based anti-air missile is the pl-15 with 145-300km range why would they use the inferior HQ-9.
Rafale was hit within 50-60km range envelop of Pl15.
Pl15's max range ~180km and that's for ingressing target , and as usual hitting targets at max ranges is a quite a low probability, and for a egressing target its even lower.
Saftain, don't you a have 100 of those brazilian MAR-1 missiles for SEAD/DEAD?
And is it not the prevailing belief that s400 was utterly destroyed apart from multiple static locations also but pakistan is not releasing the evidence for all these damages due to India blocking satellite images etc as spread in PDF by that bhagoda mohazir with Keyser Söze dp? you telling me that you don't believe that BS?
I hope people do realize that the s400 is not the end all system. The actual systems doing the heavy work are the MRSAM and the akash. The s400 is mostly used as a sniper for long range snipes of Aircraft and against high end missiles that need to be intercepted at range or cannot be intercepted at the altitude required by the MRSAM/akash.
PAF solely relies on signal intelligence for SEAD but in my opinion that's a poor man's way to SEAD/DEAD.
S400 and their chinese derivatives like HQ9 and co are actually fat @$$ designs - long range - will scare away the enemy assets like jets - but against munitions defence where agility and top notch sensor technology matters, their performance will be shitty.
The case of Pakistan claiming S400 being taken out is similar to india claiming Mig21 shot down F-16 in 2019 standoff when literally no evidence exist for both of these claims.
Our F-16 claim is based on radar data & DG-ISPR claiming of capturing 2 pilot's which he later retracted. Porkiye claim of destroying S-400 is based on nothing other than morphed satellite images busted the same day.
Radar data? And a claim under fog of war?
Yes Porkiye showed a poor PPT slide, few Photoshops all busted the same day & an alleged intercept with accent sounding typical of Porkiye lundjabi...... Rest the thrashing you lot received for next 3 days was pure joy for us, utter humiliation of epic proportion.
Gentleman, Your argument style reveals you went through horrible childhood and those memories still haunt you.
