Air Defence systems are most over rated thing. But please continue to believe the big fat lie. You would see yourself what will happen if you mess with us again. S-400 won't stop a thing.
Make sence. I agree with your premise. to learn more I would like to debate this a bit further. I see that these s-400s provide an offensive punch inside paksitan to say a 100 kms Unit deployed 100 kms in India can attack targets 100km inside Pakistan.
I say this because The Chinese surveillance radars pakistan uses and awacs provide us similar surveillance capabilities so it’s mostly about the Indian offensive punch.
a swarm of say 15 wj-700 armed with stand-off anti radiation missiles or Babar armed with anti radiation seekers will set India back 5 billion. If we take say three out of 5 this will create significant gaps in Indian air defence. The cost of a 100 baburs or a 50 wj-700 is much cheaper.
this is the problem with air defence it reduces ones options , this is why the usa has invests significantly in fighters and pilot training as opposed to fixed air defenses. Why should we not focus on all types of drones instead of air Defence systems beyond medium range. What did india achieve with its s-300 in Kashmir On feb 27

I am not an expert in anyway I just like to give my opinion with some logic.
SAMs operate with radar and radar can only utilize its max range against aircraft at certain altitude because of earth curvature (however once locked in the missile will not rely on ground radar but its own to home in the target). thats why AWACS are more effective at providing better coverage then ground radar with same range and because of their altitude they can peak over the curvature and cover the blind spot that ground radar can not cover.
S-400 is a huge threat but it is also being over hyped by west so it could justify trillions of dollars in more weapons.
Only a next generation counter measures such as decoys that mimics RCS of a fighter jet or jammers that fools radar guided missile in to believing the actual target is 50-100 feet away. Chaff and Flares will not be as effective as against early generation SAMs as latest ones which were designed with current counter measures in mind.
I like the idea of cruise missile packed with swarm drones to take out SAMs.. infact next gen cruise missiles would carry more then just warheads like electronic warfare, mini drones, etc.
