S-400 is a defensive weapon, how can a sam be deployed against another sam.there no response for pakistan yet, the hq-9 series is ok, but i heard the eurosam consortium may be offering a solution.
hence the army chief was looking at italian sam's whilst on his visit to italy. it's a ground based aster 30 variant
Question is what is the Pakistani Response after S-400 Sale.
1. So why India Buyed S-400, if she had Akash 1/2, Spyder, Barak
a) Against Pakistani fighter Planes -- Yes, unless paf goes offensive
b) Against Awaac -- May be
c) Against Stealth threat in future -- Yes, but pakistan don't have any 5th gen bird
d) Against Cruise missile -- yes
e) Against Ballastic Missile -- yes for short range ballastic missile as ABM
f) Against Hypersonic Recce planes -- May be but again Pakistan don't have that
g) Against Supersonic Antiship Missile -- No, not effective better with Barak 8
h) Against low altitute Spy Satellite -- May be but pakistan don't have
So in short S-400 gives india long range offensive weapon against Awaac, High altitute Recce Plane, short to medium range ballastic missile, cruise missile, and anti-satellite capability.
Of which anti Awaac is the prominent threat, no doubt about that, apart from that threat for her cruise missiles, and short and medium ballistic Missile.
Response should be :
a) More Awaac with turbojet engine, rather than prop platform with countermeasures, and more Radar range.
b) Supersonic/hypersonic Cruise Missile something in the league of Brahmos.
c) For Fighter planes F-18 Growler.
d) Aesa based Jammers and Aerial Decoy
e) Dedicated Ground attack fighter plane with Nav Attack for Offensive.
Thanks and regards
