Western experts explained the popularity of C-400

In recent years, Moscow has concluded several major contracts for the supply of C-400 anti-aircraft missile systems to foreign customers, the portal writes Business Insider.

As the authors note, in addition to Russia itself, these systems are already in service with such countries as Belarus, Algeria and China.

Some of the most powerful states are climbing out of their way to get Russian anti-aircraft systems, the article says.

Experts clarify that in the coming years, deliveries of C-400 ZRS systems are also planned for India, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Moreover, Turkish leader Recep Erdogan has already expressed interest in acquiring C-500 systems, which are still under development.

At the same time, the portal emphasizes that, by investing money in the development and production of air defense systems, Russia “invested where it was needed”.

These installations turned out to be so desirable because technically they are far superior to their American counterparts, the authors explain and add that Moscow has long invested in this weaponto overtake the United States in this area.

According to the director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, Ruslan Pukhov, who is quoted by the publication, experts all over the world know how highly developed Russian air defense systems are. The head of the center noted that the USSR always lagged behind the United States in the field of combat aircraft, therefore, more and more invested in anti-aircraft defense. Due to this, Russia, in particular, still lives, he added.

Earlier, the German media wrote that the C-400 ZRS was the “export hit” of Moscow on the world market, as they are a weighty trump card in the dialogue with Washington.

Almost always. From the second world. It was the USSR that copied the B-29. This Tu-95 was the answer to the B-52. This MiG-25 was a response to the Valkyrie and SR-71. This Tu-160 was the answer to the B-1A. This Su-27 was created as a response to the F-15. This is the Su-24 response to the F-111. This is Buran's answer to the Shuttle.
And never was the opposite. To the United States caught up with the USSR.

Probably because the USSR never had plans to attack the United States with the aim of seizing control over resources (like nothing personal, just business), but the answers ALWAYS were "winged", didn't they?

[Henderson]

The USSR physically did not have the resources to attack the United States. Neither the fleet nor the aviation was enough even for a full defense, not like for an attack.

Yes, you just discovered America!
No fleet? What about SSBNs? What about the Strategic Missile Forces?
Americans shit come against Russia for the only reason - in the world there is only one country that can destroy the United States in dust. And this is Russia. Similarly, the USSR had even greater opportunities for the destruction of the United States - now, after all, the SALT agreements have already been implemented. And only counted how many times the parties are able to destroy each other. Like that - the USSR, the USA six times, and the USA, the USSR only four - and the USSR has more territory, and the population is not so compactly located.

This MiG-25 was a response to the Valkyrie and SR-71.

Answer the plane which was not considered, do not tell my horseshoes! The Valkyrie didn’t fly, in fact, the SR 71 high-altitude reconnaissance ..... didn’t fly to us, did not cross the border because it is SCARY!
Mig 25, Mig 31, combat aircraft designed specifically for air defense in our vast expanses.
There are matches in the functionality and design of some objects. Just to compare, what our designers did, with those that their designers did, is stupid.
There is a need to perform a specific function, design decisions can be very similar or not, there was no exchange of technical documentation, that's a fact!
Whatever they talked about, our aircraft is not inferior to tsuzu in terms of efficiency, and this is the main indicator! Nobody risks checking, proving something in real life, NOBODY!

Times have changed ... Let them try to catch up with the S-400, then the S-500, Su-57, Armata, Vanguard, Poseidon, Caliber, Sarmat, Coalition, Ash, Borey, Zircon, Nerekhta, Uranus, electronic warfare ... nothing Oh, yes, let’s not jump into space on a trampoline!

But that they overestimate themselves. Indeed, neither Qatar, nor Saudi Arabia and Turkey can be classified as powerful states. And the S-400 is now in fact probably the best air defense system in the world

For me, Vityaz is just as needed now and has an export potential much higher than 300-ok and 400-ok.

ZRS-400 in Belarus and Algeria?

[Incvizitor]

Even with 300

far superior to American counterparts

and with 400 it’s so new and even better ...

[Cry]

Each of the countries purchasing S-400 remembers very well how the USA threw Argentina in the war for the Falkland Islands. I will not mention other cases, it is enough to remember the wisdom "It is bad if Anglo-Saxon is your enemy, but 100 times worse if he is your friend." For the future of Ukraine, this wisdom also takes place.

[Henderson]

And how did the USA throw Argentina? I hear it for the first time.

[Cry]

They supported England by blocking data from space satellites, as, for example, they do not provide data on a Boeing 777 over the Donbass. Lower knowledge from heaven is not supposed.

[Henderson]

Thrown what? The USA swore allegiance to the Argentines?

[Cry]

Once again read the proverb “It is bad if the Anglo-Saxon is your enemy, but 100 times worse if he is your friend” and refer to the facts of the history of the British Empire. I hope you do not need to explain that one hundred percent American is an original Anglo-Saxon.

[Henderson]

One hundred percent American is a native Indian. But what is the "original Anglo-Saxon" is a big question. Could you please clarify?

[Cry]

Then why is the Indian not the President of the United States? But because the Anglo-Saxons conquered America, bought Manhattan for trinkets.To understand the origin of the Anglo-Saxons, you need to think about how Ragnar Lothbrok conquered England in the Viking Age, which the British themselves call the Dark Ages. See the documentary series "Vikings", in which, on the basis of DNA analysis, scientists in England proved the ethnogenesis of the Anglo-Saxons, and ethnogenesis is a war, robbery and violence, that is. they kill males and rape females, from which the mestizos are born - the current Anglo-Saxons living in Anlia and the USA.

[Henderson]

Your reasoning strongly reminds a tale of digging the Black Sea. Everything is purely scientific and proven by British scientists.

[Cry]

You argue with full Anglo-Saxon stereotypes, but you probably will not deny DNA analysis if you have your own children, for example, males, through which the Y chromosome is transmitted from father to son through many generations. DNA analysis must be confirmed by the history of the wars that resulted in the ethnogenesis of the people in question, i.e. Have some tribes raped in the past? Then the age of the people, according to the processed DNA, falls on the date of the war, in this case the Dark Ages for the British or the Viking Age for the conquerors, one of which was William I the Conqueror, who brought England to its knees in 1066.

[Henderson]

When nonsense is broken, it becomes very painful. No need to do this.

[Cry]

You don't know the story well. Watch the TV series "Viking" and find out how the British themselves interpret the ethnogenesis accomplished by Ragnar Lothbrok, how he "made" the whole of England.

Perhaps this is why they were exceptional when the fascists gave them a ride on the GDR MiGs? (I am not against the Germans, but it was precisely the Nazi who had not been finished off that I passed to MiG partners)

S-400 allows countries not to be afraid of US aggression.

It all depends on what kind of country (in size) and how much is sold to that country. If, for example, the same Algeria has an area of ​​2,5 million square kilometers and at the same time has TWO SHELF S-400 - they will not make the weather. But when 2 more S-8PMU-300 regiments are added to these 2 regiments, plus half a hundred "Buk", half a hundred "Armor" plus a lot of old ones - Wasp, Strela-1 and Strela-10 ... another thing

He could say that on the approach not only the S-700, but also the S-1200 or S-1700. Blurring him is a simple matter. All the same, he is not responsible for his words ... See how long it takes to deploy the next system. Now the S-300 air defense system is being replaced by the S-400. 40N6 long-range missile is only being put into service. Whether 9M96-type missiles are currently used in this system is unknown. Perhaps in 3-5 years the S-500 complexes will go into the series. Maybe in 10-15 years, the S-700 will begin to enter service, but not earlier.
And Zhirinovsky blurted out about the S-700, but hardly anyone knows what the structure and concept of this complex will be like. Is it only one of the Main ...

Vladimir, as far as I know, C-300PMU-2 is operated in Algeria. I certainly do not pretend to be omniscience, but unfortunately it was not possible to find confirmation in reliable sources of the presence of the C-400 SAM systems in Algeria. By the way, you gave me an idea, probably worth making a review publication on the Algerian Air Force and Air Defense.

This is good, by the way, that only experts explain everything. Better than the war again, someone starts.

Andrew! The fact that the frigate was accepted and it is in service does not mean at all that the Polyment-Redoubt was supplemented and it did not have any problems. Alas, this is not yet discussed.
As for the "Vityaz". Nothing is clear with him yet. For a couple of years there is silence about him. Although they created it to replace the first version of the S-300, namely PS and first options "Buka"

So what. It was such a tragic event. But it’s just something I don’t believe to be shot down "calmly". But what can you do. The war is still going on there.

[spectr]

The problem is not only in airplanes, but also in pilots. Having a large number of high-quality pilots is not a cheap pleasure for the country. For air defense, the level of requirements will be lower.

The USSR and now "lags behind in the field of combat aircraft"))) especially in such aircraft as Tu-95, Tu-160, Tu-22, MiG-31 ... and it is so disastrously behind that for more than 30 years no one can catch up !
