Pakistan would have to come up with an offensive strategy to neutralize S-400 systems. By laughing at this statement, we do not reduce effectiveness or range of this system.

That is another aspect that how much vulnerable does India wants to make S-400. Closer it places it to border, the easier it would be loose it.
 


So an unnamed senior official!!

Knowing Indian media pretty well, I could say with certainity that they cooked up this remark.

While it is true that S-400 at border would be able to shoot down any aircraft in Pakistan air space theoretically, in practice doing so has certain problems.

1. S-400 would not be stationed next to border ,least it be targeted by artillery/MRLS fire. It would be stationed a good fifty to hundred kilometer or so inside the border which means that its range would be reduced by that much.

2. S-400's (40N6E) longest range missile is bulky and unsuitable for targeting nimble fighter jets. It was designed to take down AWACS and EW planes of USA, and at its extreme distance, it would only be able to intercept PAF's air-refuelrs and AWACS.

3. The 400 Km range of 40N6E is in head chase mode. In normal scenario, this range would be less than half of this.
 
Have you heard about saturating the airspace with drones?
There is a reason why Pakistan despite of its limited budget decided to invest in UAV and UCAV.

For that first you need to find the SAM... S-400 is a mobile target not fixed...

we won't deploy it close to the borders, atleast 50-100km inside the border. and S-400 is protected by pantsir
 
This was probably the $6 ~billion deal between Almaz Antei - Reliance signed when Modi visited Russia and expected to enter service by 2019.

As for Chinese S 300/HQ 9 or S 400 threat, IAF operates anti radiation IAI Haroop and Harpy, which is also the Israeli answer to the S 300 acquisition by Iran @500 can tell us about Harop Range and how it can neutralize S 300.

Lol China.The Russia India Nuclear reactor deal is big enough leverage for us to get S 400.
