I agree. I think enough of those assets on our end would dissuade India from deploying the S-400s near the border. We should also look into HALE UAVs for ISR and ELINT.I think additionally, Pakistan needs to look at mobile 400km + MLRS systems to be able to counter the S400. S400 deployments will not be static, but will be a cat-and-mouse games as India moves + redeploys and Pakistan counters.
The best that Pakistan can do is build up its EW capabilities such that can detect the activation of these systems and bring in Cruise missiles/SOWs in addition to MLRS systems to take it out. By being able to force them to be 200-300km from the border, their effectiveness will be massively reduced, and of threat to large slow moving targets like AEW&Cs and Air-to-air refuellers.
Pakistan can look at the details of the S400 via both China and Turkey(though reports indicate that the Turks have not activated the radar systems of their units yet ) to determine its capabilites and to develop tactics. You can see how the Azerbijan took care of the S300 in their recent conflict so see how they can be countered.
The real threat is of course from the range, but also that it is an integrated air defence systems, meaning two S400 systems can interconnect, share targetting information in addition to guiding missiles from the other system. One can remain "silent" while the other does the targetting etc, making detection so much more difficult.
We have to also assume that the S400s in Indian service will have SATCOM capabilities to both receive and send targetting information.

Every radar systems has limitations which can be exploited by EW performance of the other party.The best that Pakistan can do is build up its EW capabilities
How about something like this sir?Every radar systems has limitations which can be exploited by EW performance of the other party.
There is not much Iran can offer us in the BM domain. It is very likely that PAF is working on S400-specific countermeasures as we speak.And how come you buy some regiments of it?
Maybe and maybe not. Iranian BMs have a good bettle experience against American and Israeli targets. They have successfuly evaded THAAD in Yemen. THAAD despite being highly capable against simple trajectory BMs, it was inaffective against Yemeni quasi BMs.There is not much Iran can offer us in the BM domain.
Surely. They won't be sitting docks and we being simple forumers have no say in their final decisions and merely speculating things.It is very likely that PAF is working on S400-specific countermeasures as we speak.
Americans are too late to this club. Currently Iran, Russia and China are the bests in this field. Iran has Haj Qasem missile as its flag ship with 1400 KM Range, Russians possess Iskanders and gliding vehicles and Chinese have their own designs.The Americans have already unveiled the answer to the S400. It is called the PrSM.
Having a stealty ELINT UAV combined with a hypersonic MLRS system which is why the PrSM system is, is the answer to modern integrated SAM systems.
these are not simple ballistic missiles they have anti radiation capability in them, which means they are passive, for enemy it mean either you turn your radar off or you better hope you are shooting them all down it takes 1, for guided ballistic missile you can handle little movements of the target but with anti radiation missiles target can move 30-50 kms and it still doesn't matterThere is not much Iran can offer us in the BM domain. It is very likely that PAF is working on S400-specific countermeasures as we speak.
Thank you for explaining what anti-radiation missiles are.Maybe and maybe not. Iranian BMs have a good bettle experience against American and Israeli targets. They have successfuly evaded THAAD in Yemen. THAAD despite being highly capable against simple trajectory BMs, it was inaffective against Yemeni quasi BMs.
Iranian bombing of Ain Al Assad was done while the base was being Protected by various radars and airdefense systems. The radars in Qatar, Kuwait, KSA, Bahrain and Turkey help Americans to track Iranian missiles launched abroad. All of these systems failed to deter the attack on Assad airbase which was the largest American airbase in middle east Hosting high ranking American officials including ministers and presidents of USA.
Surely. They won't be sitting docks and we being simple forumers have no say in their final decisions and merely speculating things.
