Oye yaar these drones(if the news is true) aren't acquired to counter S400. Don't listen to these wannabe experts over here acting like they know these things. Nowhere in the world armed drones(the likes of Wing Loong II) have been used to take down air defense systems.48 drones against s 400 ? Am sorry i dnt get it
Pakistan has been wanting MALE armed drones for a while to aid in its efforts against eliminating terrorists long before India had signed anything to acquire S400. US refused to supply Pakistan such armed drones...so Pak has turned to China. The main advantage they offer is being able to loiter over an area in addition to strike capability...something fighter jets can't do.
To a certain extent...this would also save fighter jets(for precision strikes) and attack helicopters from being used against TTP...saving precious and limited airframe life.
