An American military expert said that Russia has the most developed integrated air defense in the world

The Russian Federation has a very strong air defense system. This was stated by an American military expert, retired US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel John Baum, in an interview with one of the American publications.

As a military analyst noted, even if the West transfers F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, this will not lead to the desired results. After all, the Russian army will be able to destroy American-made aircraft transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces without any problems using its effective air defense systems.

Russia has one of the most reliable and advanced integrated air defense systems in the world

- said the American military expert.

Baum argues that Ukrainian planes will immediately find themselves within the range of Russian air defense. After this, the fighters will be destroyed by attacks from Russian anti-aircraft missile systems. Earlier, other military experts, convinced of the futility of such a step by Western countries, also spoke about the prospect of transferring American-made fighters to Ukraine.

Prior to this, analysts noted that Russia has very strong electronic warfare capabilities. This allows the Russian army to prevent attacks from long-range missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles of Ukrainian formations.

Air defense, air defense. And drones fly. And it feels like being at home.
I don’t even want to talk about “friendly” fire. They caused more damage than the Ukrainian Armed Forces

And drones fly

Both missiles and airplanes, since NO AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD GIVES A 100% PROTECTION GUARANTEE. But Russian air defense is now the most skillful and trained. And the more our opponents use new types of weapons, the more skillful and training they will be

[Aleks88]

Those. Israel, which repelled 300+ UAVs, missile defenses and ballistic missiles, are suckers? It seems to me that 636.3 and 775 were enough for only 16 missile launchers, which flew 300+ km, along with the carriers. Every day we receive attacks on Russian territory, including on strategic airfields

[Installer]

There were a bunch of other states there besides Israel!

[Aleks88]

Well, BRs haven’t yet learned how to shoot down planes. And what could the USA and Jordan “put up” there? So as not to collide in the air and without “friendly fire”, which is our sin. Moreover, both in Georgia and Ukraine.

Don't overdo it. Israel repelled that raid not alone, but in a coalition and did not repulse it 100%, but the missiles broke through. And what’s more, missiles are still breaking through to Israeli cities and military installations.
Further, their front of confrontation was much smaller than ours now, they clearly knew from where and where everything would fly. It’s somehow more difficult for us.

Look at the size of Israel, compare it with the territory of Russia, calculate the density of air defense, and soberly shudder. Especially considering the fact that Israel, firstly, did not fight back alone, and secondly, it missed something.

[FoBoss_VM]

Because our air defense was designed and sharpened to intercept enemy aircraft, missiles, armored vehicles and units for them. And at the expense of one’s own/someone else’s, yes, of course it’s complete. We didn’t even suffer nearly as much damage from the air force as from the friendly ones. In the third year of the war, there is not even any progress to be made in this direction. The RF Ministry of Defense is an extremely ossified and amorphous system, incapable of quickly changing to adapt to the conditions of war... It’s sad, of course, that expensive vehicles of some, which are only a few, are dying and there is nothing to replace them with, there is no production. And the most disgusting thing is that people are dying, an experienced combat pilot is a piece of goods

– And don’t read news on telegram channels before lunch!
- Hm... But there are no others.
– Don’t read any of them. You know, I made thirty observations in my clinic. And what do you think? Patients who did not read TG channels felt excellent. Those whom I specifically forced to read the news lost weight! That's not enough! Decreased knee reflexes, poor appetite, depressed state of mind.
- Damn it!

[FoBoss_VM]

I get the humor. But I read exactly those who fly... So here it goes. The problem won't be solved just because you make fun of it like that.

If anything, the attitude of professional air defense specialists towards the Firebomber is... not enthusiastic, to put it mildly. Unlike armchair analysts.

[Roust]

And not only air defense! Stock up on Vaseline, it won’t hurt so much!

[Leonid Dymov]

Russian air defense and missile defense constantly repels attacks in different regions of Russia - Crimea, Krasnodar Territory, Belgorod, Kursk, Moscow regions, Tatarstan, etc. In the event of a nuclear war, a significant portion of American missiles will be intercepted, and our hypersonic missiles will all reach their target.

[rocket757]

We must be realistic, no one can repel a MASSIVE, complex attack!!!
That’s why they don’t fly, everyone has to take into account the obvious, the inevitability of a crushing retaliatory strike!

[Aleks88]

How long ago did they start intercepting ICBMs? Or rather, separating warheads? And something tells me that our hypersound will not reach the USA

[Poplar]

How long ago did they start intercepting ICBMs? Or rather, separating warheads?

What, have ICBMs with MIRVs already flown somewhere? Did you have too much in honor of the holiday? If they intercept missiles from Hamers, Vampires, Alders, etc., then they will be able to intercept MIRVs, of course not all of them, but certainly some of them. And hypersound, in particular Avangard, will fully reach the states, and Zircons too, I’m generally silent about Sarmat.

. Yes, the ability to defend yourself is extremely important for us!
The Israelis can do something, but the range of threats and the intensity, variety of means of attack against them is very limited, so they didn’t bother doing something better...
All the same, a comprehensive air defense system is much more than just air defense systems, plus a little something with a barrel!!! There is room for further development!!!

[Aleks88]

// Israelis can do something //
Israel is the only country that has been repelling DIFFERENT, constantly evolving threats for decades. At the same time, they somehow repelled 3000+ missiles.

[rocket757]

What are the different ones?
There's probably something there... but what is there?
By the way, the Israeli “something” compared to all the others is serious, for their scale, of course.

[Aleks88]

// There’s probably something there.. but what’s there //
Until the age of 22, one of the “locals” on the site, an Israeli, published what the Palestinians had. Mostly missiles are Iranian or made or have components. I’m afraid there is no such diversity even in the Russian army.
They supply engines, gyroscopes, seekers, steering mechanisms, explosives, etc.
And no one “screamed” that the air defense was “overloaded.” What they could, they shot down. No state in the world could cope. Yes, then they “washed themselves”, but mostly peacefully. The top, as they sit in Qatar, are not touched

[rocket757]

In general... Israel's enemy had... yes, they had Katyushas, ​​mostly home-made, slightly modernized...
They also need to be shot down, which is Israel and demonstrated in all previous years.
As soon as more people flew at them in number and variety, they had to fight back with the help of their allies, and even then not everyone was shot down...
This is their “iron dome”...
However, others don’t have this.

[Reptiloid]

Greetings Victor! What’s interesting here is that defense during war is a costly matter, in this case it turned out that the attackers’ costs were much less than Israel’s when they got there

flew more in number

[rocket757]

Without begging for the achievements of the Israeli defense industry, it is simply a statement of fact... the levels of both attackers and defenders are thinner, as they say.
It is useless to argue with those who praise their swamp... the frogs there will croak for theirs and that... yes, this always happens and there are no special questions.

[Reptiloid]

Absolutely right! Modern wars bring a lot of new things to events at the front. Something that we couldn’t even imagine before! When I read about today, I often remember scenes from science fiction films. Or stories by science fiction writers of the mid and late last century.

[rocket757]

Yes, from science fiction... and quite recently, if you count.
Toli will still be... ahead!?
Maybe something will appear on hitherto unknown principles!!!

[Reptiloid]

Victor, it is definitely appearing, we just don’t know about it yet.

[Aleks88]

// yes they had Katyushas //
Lord, where do they get you? I believe in genetics, but so far we have only raised a sheep. does the zombie box really have that effect on the gray matter?
No country in the world would have shot down so many, either 300 or 3000. Israel shot down the maximum possible. There was (now banned) such Oleg Sokolov (nickname Professor), he popularly explained (he wrote an article with pictures for people like you) what the Palestinians had a few years ago. God forbid every terrorist country has such an arsenal. Do you really think that you can make a rocket engine, seeker, and precision inertial computer “on your knees,” in a hastily dug cellar under a barn? Dig half a thousand and concrete the tunnels, make a water regeneration system, electrification, all this secretly.
And Iran’s military potential cannot be underestimated at all. Their OTR and IRBM are at a high level, given that neither the Russian Federation nor the United States developed them. It was from Iran that we took the UAV technology that we now use.
Israel is the only one in the world that actually (in tests) shot down an ICBM. Neither THAAD nor Patriot nor S-400 did this.
P.S.: Let me remind you of the fate of the Antonovsky Bridge, which we defended. Shipyard and much more. I have already drawn for you about the USA and Jordan and about friendly fire.

[barbos]

Doesn't count for testing.

[Victor19]

When the enemy praises, it is always suspicious! It means they've already planned something.

[geor.tcherniaev]

The thing is that during the Cold War, the United States relied on armadas of strategic bombers, and the USSR relied on air defense systems. Hence the result - the Russian Federation has excellent means to combat NATO aircraft and missiles, and the United States has riveted hundreds of attack aircraft. However, in light of the latest radical changes in connection with the appearance on the battlefield of unmanned means of fire destruction of the enemy, highly maneuverable and difficult to distinguish for radars, both sides are taking actions to develop a combat strategy in the new realities, where the Russian Federation undoubtedly has an advantage over NATO, taking into account the experience of the Northern Military District and a developed layered air defense system that NATO countries cannot boast of. Well, except for the Israelis with their “iron dome”. Which, however, during an Iranian attack, they used to intercept more than 200 allied aircraft to destroy Iranian drones and missiles of a similar number, although Israel was considered the most protected country in the world in terms of air defense. And now every day the Russian air defense destroys dozens of drones and missiles, including MLRS, last year I personally saw the work of our air defense over Donetsk. Of course, it is almost impossible to shoot down cannon artillery shells and mortar mines due to their small size and small radar signature, but work in this direction is being carried out both by us and by NATO - although the recently presented photos showing the defeat of a mortar mine by an English laser complex frankly do not stand up to any criticism .

[Aleks88]

// mortar mines are almost impossible to shoot down //
They shoot down, some, but I won’t point fingers, they’ll downvote
And there is also an option that the United States considered - the best air defense is fighter-interceptors and a large puddle

[Sergey Koltakov]

Perhaps the most important thing now is to finish off the aviation that the Ukrainians have left. The one that comes, of course, too.

[bone1]

And how did the expert determine this or did he just tell fortunes using a daisy?

[bombaher]

The Yankees have never encountered Chinese air defense yet. It is built on the basic principles of the USSR and the Russian Federation and is even more advanced and wins quantitatively. Then there will be a surprise

[Sergej1972]

Does it actually win quantitatively? Have you come across digital data? It seems to me that the numbers are comparable to ours. Do the Chinese have a lot of combat experience?

[AlexWar]

Today the Armed Forces are posting a video of how they hit the Kushchevsky airfield
What air defenses where they were. Shoigu orders only 3% for the year.

The same thing about air defense, we need to strengthen it, but no one is doing anything

An American military expert said that Russia has the most developed integrated air defense in the world

This expert exaggerates regarding the country's air defense system. It is not there, perhaps it is now being built, taking into account the war. However, judging by the incoming information from primarily all kinds of media, primarily the Internet, and our stingy official ones, there are gaps, to put it mildly. Now they will shout that statistics show that there is no such thing as 100 percent (according to the results) air defense.... Everything seems to be so, however, when the air defense system is built, when there are air defense troops of the country, the Ground Forces, positional areas..., in general, what can I say - the air defense specialists who are present here will probably explain these problems better, and not hiding behind the Soviet proverb: “We don’t fly ourselves, and we don’t let others.” I do not hesitate to criticize the service close to me, which used to be the troops, because it is pain, and at the same time the hope that the PV will be revived. There is no Soviet Union, and there is no air defense system - the best system in the world at that time. The enemies admitted this. Let's hope that the country's air defense system will also be revived!

Googled it. John Baum didn't find any military experts. Who are you John Baum?))

he is a retired lieutenant colonel of the US Air Force. Those who retire automatically become military experts, this is in all countries and armies of the world)
There are, of course, exceptions, characters who only watched about the army on TV, as soon as they start commenting on something, they immediately become military experts)))
PS By the way, during the pandemic there was a huge increase in the number of medical experts
