Defense News: Russian S-400 "Triumph" air defense systems should not be underestimated and overestimated

The capabilities of the S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile systems purchased by India from Russia "cannot be underestimated, as well as overestimated," aerospace expert Douglas Barry told the American edition of Defense News.

In his opinion, "their advertised maximum range of destruction depends on the variant of the anti-aircraft missile used, the range of coverage of the corresponding radars in the deployment area, the ability of personnel to effectively use the system, as well as steps and countermeasures that any enemy can take."

The expert notes that India, instead of deploying the S-400 Triumph in the regions bordering Pakistan, could use this air defense system to protect strategic facilities inside the country. According to Barry, the deployment of the S-400 Triumph directly on the border could threaten the SAMS themselves.

According to Pakistani analyst Mansoor Ahmed, "Indian rhetoric seems to suggest a belief that the S-400s actually make its airspace impenetrable." The specialist noted that the effectiveness of the S-400 Triumph "against ballistic or cruise missiles remains in question and will depend on many factors."

Ahmed admitted that the Russian-made air defense system, being located too close to the border with Pakistan, may be vulnerable, in particular, to the Pakistani guided missile Fatah-1, tested in August 2021, and the Ababeel missile, as well as electronic warfare systems.

According to analyst Richard Fisher, China has "many options" for Pakistan. The expert admitted that Beijing, which owns the S-400 Triumph, can help Islamabad gain access to weapons effective against Russian air defense systems.

In December, RIA Novosti with reference to the Sabah newspaper, they wrote that the promising complexes being developed by Turkey will be able to replace the Russian S-400 Triumph and the American Patriot.
