Yes but the S400 will be spotted and triangulated as soon as it goes active. There will be ground based short ranged ballistic missile ARM fired as soon as S400 fires if not before. The responding missiles will likely reach the S400 before its own missiles can travel 200 miles.

That creates a environment where S400 is completely out of picture at engagements endgame with ability to kill being dependent upon the missiles fired not the ground based parts of the system.

You do realize that this system can engage short range ballistic missiles right?
SMH. There is an old saying ” A fool is known by his multitude of words”. Atleast keep your mouth closed, to leave us in doubt of you being a fool.

Has any SAM system of the past made contemporary fighters obsolete? No, they did not. The S-400 has no magical qualities that will make things different this time around.

When an operator starts using a new radar or SAM system, he begins to compromise it. If the S-400 unit in Syria ever radiates in full operational mode, or attempts an engagement, Israeli elint will have rich pickings.

‘Shouting’ in all-caps does not strengthen the case you are trying to argue.

Has there ever been a SAM with a 200+ mile engagement zone? By all means let them buy fighters that radiate like a barn.
They are just kidding when they say anti-access. BTW my case stands the weapon system is a generational transformational leap over a SA-2. As soon as you take off your in the missile NEZ.

It’s simple.. With the F-35 allegedly having such remarkable nose pointing authority, we shall soon see
some breathtaking high AoA maneuvers performed by this aircraft.
I personally am not holding my breath.. But do wake me up when a video like that pops out..

A Video like this?

For starters you have no factual basis to support your claim of the F-35 being draggy other than your eyeball and unfortunately for you, facts get in the way of your claims.

I also want to add that as soon as the F-16 and Euro-canards take off they are in the S-400 NEZ, for most baltic states. If your only going to buy planes that are useless militarily you can get Cessnas cheaper than F-16s. ISKLANDER, AND S-400 HAVE RENDERED ALL 4TH GENERATION FIGHTERS OBSOLETE.

Israel Reconsidering 2008 Purchase of U.S. Jets; Cabinet Mulls Cancelling Acquisition of Flawed Fighter-Jet Rejected By Most NATO Air Forces

http://www.defense-aerospace.com/article-view/release/171702/israel-reconsidering-purchase-of-f_35-fighters.html

???

Ok I smell cattle excrement in this article:

1. If Israel wants to give up air superiority in the region, by ditching 5th generation fighters then by all means do it. I suspect that when Iran gets T-50 or Su-35, and Turkey gets 100 F-35s they may reconsider.
2. “A fighter that most NATO countries reject” So now not purchasing is out right rejecting? Have Poland, Lithuania, ect bought Euro-fighters? There is so much retarded here I dont know where to start.
3. “Short ranged” Compared to what on internal fuel? Can Rafael, Typhoon, or other airframes beat it sans carrying a 18 wheeler fuel truck underwing? DUMB!
4. “Low weapons load” Its like a page ripped out of the F-35 haters hand book. The plane will carry a larger load than an F-16 in non stealth mode. Why would you compare the F-16 to the stealth configured F-35 in load?
Does the plane still fly, and drop bombs externally? Can the F-16 go where the F-35 can in stealth mode? Dumb!
5. The planes have been bought already.
There is no refund!
6. What ever happens in Syria, exspect advanced Russian sams to be in place for awhile. The S-400s haven’t been hacked or compromised like the S-300. THESE SAMS RENDER ALL F-15 types obsolete.
This article is textbook BS yellow journalism.
I am close to placing this site on the do not click list.

The wiki page indicates that they want the LSRB to be capable of day time raids, and likely self escort. The thing has to have.

A. Some form of on board jamming like the APG-81.

B. Some form of missile capability.

C. Maybe future DIRCM capability.

Insofar as anything a generation into the future can be certain, yes. That China will become the world’s largest economy is certain, while the only reason she would not leverage that economy to also become the most powerful military power on Earth is if she saw no reason to do so. For better or worse, theory, historical precedent, and recent developments all suggest that such forbearance is unlikely, and that China is unlikely to restrain the growth of its military capabilities until it is at least capable of nullifying the combined forces potentially arrayed against it. In China’s case we are looking at the requirement to nullify perhaps two-thirds of total US military strength, plus that of Japan, India, Vietnam, etc. etc. As such, growth in Chinese military spending is unlikely to stop short of parity with the United States, and could well go significantly higher depending on the threat environment at the time.

Lots of things could slow them down — few can affect the ultimate outcome.

They will soon be occupied. It’s called thinking ahead. China has hundreds of millions more people to urbanise yet.

Well sir, the had better get going if they plan on becoming a superpower this centuary. I would suggest learning how to build a jet engine 1st. I wonder how that smog issue will look when they grow their economy large enough to surpass the U.S. plus fight the entirety of Asia?
