During this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia's air defense system was criticized by many people, and it can even be said to have "fallen from the altar", because no matter in Russia or in the Ukrainian battlefield, whether in S-300 or S-400, it was unable to show the proper level of air defense . The frequent attacks of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are proof that it is fine if you lose several warships , but you don’t even defend the flagship “Moscow” . This is really not the level that the Russian army should have. In addition, Russian border cities and airports parked with strategic bomber have also been hit many times, but they are not defended when they have time, which has caused the Russian army to be criticized by the outside world.
, not only the Russian army, but the S-300 and other air defense systems used by the Ukrainian army also performed poorly, and most of them were directly destroyed by the Russian army. Although the Russian army may well know where the weakness of the S-300 is, so they can hit it with one blow, but its air defense performance is still poor. Fortunately, the Russian S-300 has finally "acquit its previous shame" recently. It directly attacked the Ukrainian Su-27 217 kilometers away, proving to the world the strength of air defense interception. It is understood that at that time, the Ukrainian Su-27 was planning to cross the border and launch a strike against Russia. In order to avoid being intercepted, it flew in an ultra-low-altitude attitude.
But unexpectedly, it was discovered and locked by the S-300's search radar. The air defense missile went straight to 217 kilometers to shoot it down, which not only successfully disintegrated the Ukrainian army's intention to cross-border strike, but also set its own farthest interception record. Although his performance in previous actual combat was so poor, why did he easily achieve two major achievements this time? It may be related to the S-300 model. This time, the S-300V4 version that shot down the Su-27 is the closest to the S-400 performance. It adopts a dual-mode combat mode and is equipped with two missiles, , namely the 48N6DM with a range of 250 kilometers and the 40N6 with a 400 kilometers. No matter which missile is enough to defeat the Ukrainian army.
In fact, it was an extremely wrong decision for the Ukrainian army to use fighter jets to launch a strike against Russia, because the speed of the S-300V4's air defense missile can reach Mach 10. At this speed, even if the Su-27 drives at full power, it cannot get rid of the lock. This failed cross-border strike caused the Ukrainian army to lose one more aircraft, which was somewhat overestimated. In addition, it has powerful radar search capabilities and monitoring of the A-50 aerial early warning aircraft system, and can detect Ukrainian fighter jets at the first time. As long as they are aimed, they can be shot down directly. This time, Ukrainian army obviously kicked the iron plate.
After this interception, the Russian army has re-activated the sign of the S-300 series air defense system. If more Ukrainian fighter jets can be shot down next, they can still be sold best around the world. It has to be said that this conflict has had a significant impact on the Russian army's weapons exports, especially the successive shot down of fighter jets, which seriously affect their order volume. If Russia wants to reverse this situation, it can only speak in actual combat. Only equipment that has excellent performance in actual combat can sell well in various countries, otherwise Russia will lose an important source of national income, and the consequences will be immeasurable.
