The media called a way to neutralize the Russian S-400 air defense systems
US military develops Technology "Invisibility" of aircraft since the 80s of the last century, when the developments of the Soviet physicist Pyotr Ufimtsev actually laid the foundation for the development of stealth technologies. The United States has an impressive fleet of aircraft that are difficult to detect by radars. However, Russian air defense systems violate the order of things established by Washington.
The Indian edition of the EurAsian Times draws attention to the S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems at the disposal of Russia, the range of which is 400 km. SAM can detect and destroy American "stealth" and other targets using various ammunition, as well as attack objects at low altitudes (from 5 meters).
According to Indian experts, the United States still has a way to neutralize the S-400. American F-35 fighters must move towards the target at an ultra-low altitude, and then launch decoys to intercept the radar operators' attention. After setting their location, they return to their home. Then, EA-18 carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft attack radar systems with special AGM-88 HARM missiles.
Such a scenario may indeed work against the Russian S-400s, but it is extremely complex and would require the involvement of excessive forces. So this tactic is unlikely to be considered acceptable.
- believes the EurAsian Times.
At the same time, the Russian army will soon have the S-500 "Prometheus" complex at its disposal, which will be able to detect any air targets, including those flying at hypersonic speeds.
