This brief videos by print are very informative.. saves lot of time

S400= SARH system using PESA. That combination is good 10-15 years ago. But today, the electronic warfare system is so advanced that SARH/PESA combo will not be a game changer. Agaisnt Pakistani might still work ok, but against China there will be no chance.

Probably India will fast track the predator purchase to sweeten the s400 deal infront of usa 😀

I'm overseas non Indian citizen.But what are the shortcomings ?Has anyone asked how the Israelis were able to beat this system in Syria?

[iceshira]

Such an awesome deterrent, once activated Pakistan's air force is already at a disadvantage and on the North the Chinese airforce will have to think twice before scrambling their J 20

Total waste of 5B$ better spent on feeding the poor.

S400 and even S500 is not a land border game changer for India.
In 2017 the US launched 59 Tomawk cruise missiles to hit Syrian Shayrat Airfield in syn, at various targets in the same airfield. The same saturation tactic with all missiles aiming at a S400 or S500 main radar and control units arriving at different angles would have taken them out because inferior missiles have vast numerical superiority. Not to mention precision ground artillary attacks in addition.
