This is the strength of S-400
The S-400 is currently one of the world’s strongest air defense systems. Russia has made this air defense. It has the ability to kill fighter aircraft, missiles, drones and even ballistic missiles. It uses 4 different missiles which have the ability to penetrate any target up to 400 km distance. India has deployed this air defense system keeping China and Pakistan in mind.
There was a 5 S-400 air defense system deal between India and Russia, out of which India has received three S-400s so far. The S-400 squadron consists of 16 vehicles, which include launcher, radar, control centers and assistant vehicles. This entire system is called a full battery. The special feature of this defense system is that it tracks the target 600 km away and can hit it in the target range of 400. It has 120 kilometers, 200 km, 250 km and 400 km missile. The special thing is that China, who gave HQ-9 air defense system to escape Pakistan, has also bought S-400 from Russia.
HQ-9 Air Defense System
Pakistan has bought HQ-9 air defense system from China to protect its border from missiles, drones and ladacious aircraft. According to reports, China prepared this air defense system based on Russia’s S-300, which is a weak air defense system compared to the S-400. The HQ-9 air defense system has a 200 km radar detection range which is right to stop a medium range missile. However, it was claimed by China that the HQ-9 air defense system has the ability to intercept cruise missiles, aircraft and ballistic missiles.
