AFAIK, the primary goal for IAF in S-400 deal are multi-band radars, network centric communication systems and 40N6E missiles. Nothing changes. But the deal can (or cannot) contain smaller range missiles as well.

BTW, Almaz-Antei has built 4 regiments for VKS this year instead of usual 6 yearly: https://sdelanounas.ru/blogs/105761/ It mean that 2 regiments left are built for export customers. China and what else?

Well... Bearing in mind that IAF will sign it in October, I'm tended to think IAF has waited for 9M96, 9M96D (medium, 75 and 150km respectively) and 9M100 (short, up to 25km) SAMs to get production status... Is India going to buy S-350U Vityaz MR SAM? Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Some cumbersome thoughts you have :) In serious: the 1-st serial produced S-500 regiment for Russian VKS is planned to reach IOC in the middle of 2020. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

40N6 have 45km maximum altitude. 70N6 and 76N6 will come to stage with S-500 for this. Btw, yesterdsy was a news that NizhTechMash plant has started S-500 LRIP-1 last week. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

No. 2-decker bus size are 70N6 and 76N6 ICBM killers for S-500 suit. 40N6 have standard sized containers. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

S-400 has wide set of radars and passive sensors as well on different comnand tiers. Chinese don't have them all. And yes, those systems have no weaknesses, preliminary that much that anyone can exploit. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

40N6 is S-400's default weapon, how can't it be in serial production? :) You seem to be adequate some times, but the other times say some stupid menace :) Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Training fees include shoot and scoot tactics training, electronic sims training and extensive real launches on Ashuluk AD dedicated training ground.

Any heavy AD regiment consists of 2-4 battallions each of which contains 2-4 batteries of 4 TELs and 4 TLVs each + FC radar + Gazetchik-M self-defence suit + Nakidka-M cloaking/masking suit + 1 batrery of Pantsyr-S1/2 + Taifun-M anti-diversal suit + engineering suit + 4 liasion units...

40N6E (up to 400km on aerodynamical target) is the only reason to get S-400 over S-300PMU-2 (like Iranians got) that can operate 48N6E as a primary weapon. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Chinese are in Variant B while Indian will be in Variant A. Also wide MII tradeoffs will be offered. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

400km capable one is 40N6. It's top speed is 7km/s. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

S-400 operates 5 different types of missiles. Which ones SRM do you mean? :) Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

TOT and MII Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

They do. But they are smarter than you are and realise that indigenous is risky and take huge amount of time, so they want to do both - import with TOT and grow indigenous. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Yes, it will be an equivalent of S-300PM-2 and S-300VM in range and probably KP. But not the network centrics and mobility. However reality is so that non-mobile and/or limited mobile (like MIM-104 Patriot) AD systems are sitting ducks without any chance to survive retaliation strike.

S-400 main features are not range and KP only. XR-SAM will not be so mobile and stealthy and will not have an equal network centric capabilities ever... Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

If you guys could read more often than write you've know that Russians always had 2 complectations of theirs export weapons versions: A (e.g. MiG-29 (9-12A) and the like) - for special partners and allies - this complectation is the same as for Russian army, without watering downs but with...
