Testing C-500 in Syria allowed to work out the detection of "inconspicuous" targets

41
Some time ago, the VO published material about the start of testing the promising C-500 air defense system. During the tests, as it turned out, some technical problems were discovered, but they were eliminated. However, manufacturers did not report the specific location where these tests were conducted.


S-300 Shooting




Now it became known that the verification of anti-aircraft missile systems C-500 "Prometheus" was carried out in the Syrian Arab Republic. Such an information message is published by the newspaper. "News". The material says that testing of C-500 in Syria is confirmed by sources in the military-industrial complex and the Ministry of Defense.

The statement on the testing of C-500 Prometheus in Syria has already caused a violent reaction abroad. In particular, it is noted that Russia continues to use the territory of the SAR as a "platform for testing its weapons." Western sources say that over the years of participation of the Russian Armed Forces in the Syrian campaign, a variety of weapons were tested, including Caliber cruise missiles, fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jets, and now the S-500 Prometheus air defense systems.

Testing C-500 in Syria allowed to work out the detection of "inconspicuous" targets


It is worth noting the importance of the “Syrian” tests for the C-500. It (importance) for our country consists not only in checking the complex in special climatic conditions. Verification in the ATS is important primarily in that it allows you to confirm the wide functionality of the complex, which, in fact, is also a powerful anti-ballistic missile. Also, the radar of the complex got the opportunity to test in the direction of detecting "inconspicuous" targets. Given that in the sky above Syria fighters of the 5 generation of the US Air Force (F-22) and Israeli Air Force (F-35) appear, the experience of the “Syrian” tests is extremely important for developers and the military. Naturally, both the developers and the military will conduct a thorough analysis of the C-500 verification carried out on the territory of the SAR, which in itself will become an invaluable experience in the development of an air defense missile defense shield.

It can be assumed that the testing of C-500 in Syria was carried out without the “physical” launch of missiles - primarily tests of target detection characteristics. Earlier, tests of C-500, as it became known, were carried out in the Astrakhan region.

            So we tested the radar, not the launchers. Try to distinguish from above whose it is ... The Americans put it next to the S-300 or S-400 launchers and thought it was from them.

              And the radar signals on the fighters are only detected, but not analyzed, not that functionality. Well, the radars probably hid the AWAX, and they didn’t have enough of what happened. Right now there will be a stink, although they used only their European methods!

          Most likely they put there only radars, previously as part of the S-400 launcher

          >> And what their satellites did not detect <

          Satellites are good for research, stationary objects. They are not very suitable for photographs of moving objects. For shooting mobile things, you need to know both the time and location of the object of interest. Realizing this, the specialists may have imported Prometheus not through the "main gate" (If at all)

      Considering that the 5th generation fighter of the US Air Force (F-22) and Israeli Air Force (F-35) appear in the sky over Syria, the experience of the “Syrian” tests is extremely important for developers and the military.

      And what will the professor say?
      The invincible F-35 and F-22 are not in a hurry to fly into Syria ... all from the Lebanese side are stealthily launching missiles through the territory of Syria ... it’s scary to make direct assaults suddenly fly in the ass.
      But there were no real clashes with the C-300, C-400 systems.
      I think that C-500 is being tested not only in Syria, but also in the areas of active NATO flights in the Kaliningrad region ... and when our next plane with the transponder turned off flies along the Baltic coast collecting NATO fighters around us like a piece of honey of bees for the smell of sweet honey our beloved the adversary does not even suspect that he is on the fly.

        I think there is a mutual risk. Americans are afraid to disgrace themselves with invisibility, but the S-300 has no military use. It’s easy to become disgraced, but how then to live on.

          US Invisibles retractable goods per se.
          Russian air defense systems are in demand on the market and users have no doubts about their effectiveness.
          Another thing is no one declares 100% guarantees.
          As there is no technology of invisibility in reality.
          There are stealth technologies, and this only means that additional efforts are required to detect in the form of other technologies.
          And the fact that the elements of the C500 system have been tested in Syria is an additional backlog in the effectiveness of the system.

          Do you think that combat use is necessarily to spit with regular missiles? The last thing. More often, we send aviation to warn a potential intruder, they say, "You, grandma, don't go here." But there are a lot of reports about the meeting of the Su-35 with the "invisible", even if the Israeli penguins flew to bomb the territory of Iraq

        There was a bombardment of the Syrian airbase by the Kyrgyz Republic, where the "curvature of the earth's surface" prevented the S-300 / S-400, which had no analogues in the world.

        1. For successful testing of any system, it is ALWAYS necessary to use a reference group (otherwise), otherwise you will find out whether the invisibility was when you did not find it or not.
        2. When using an active system, the pilot always knows whether he is irradiated or not. Passive stations of the Kalchuga type are another matter.

          And it’s good that the more all kinds of missiles and planes, as well as drones and guided bombs fly into Syria, the better the information for our designers and air defense systems for further improvement. You most importantly more confidently use your new missiles.

      They said that the radar at the complex sees virtually all flying targets, even birds, and is able to distinguish a living target from an inanimate one.
      Plus it calculates well low-flying objects, and can also shoot down targets in space, such as satellites.

        Well, there’s probably not one radar in the S-500, but some (as in S-400). It is somehow doubtful that the same radar would be so versatile as to work effectively across the entire spectrum of targets from missiles flying at a height of several meters to near space .....
        But as they say: "we'll see - we'll see!" ... So far, there is too little fact about the S-500, and the fact that it is is contradictory (as in fact it SHOULD be with the latest systems).
