COOL!
Actually the S-400 is just the best on the market but the Russians are upgrading to S-500 Thats how they do things they sell their best instead its their second best and they do the same thing with their tanks guns and everything else . But that doesn't make there second best bad

S-500 is not an upgrade, its a supplement to the S-400. It was designed to engage ballistic and hypersonic missiles at longer range. From the info we have, each S-500 launcher only carry 2 huge missiles, so its purpose is different.

The S400 missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
Yes.
Exactly!!!
If the F35 has a radar cross section of the size of a bumble bee BUT the AI linked to the S400 detects a bumble bee flying at unnatural speeds and height.

One of the more interesting video, well researched and illustrated. Hope you'll make more of these kind of videos!
It is incredible the lack of maturity these issues are approached with. It is not a matter of supporting one side or another, it is a matter of understanding what may happen if a conflict breaks out because then it will be of paramount importance.
Since clever people exist everywhere in the world, the only sure thing is that each side will be in for surprises. There is no invincible technology or tactic, they are introduced, peak and the they are replaced by something else. In a war this process is incredibly accelerated. NO side should be confident to have any form of superiority.

As far as I know, Soviet/Russian SAM's system is the most system that is already being used in the battlefield, like those Pantsirs, TORs and S-300s. Well of course only SAMs system isn't enough against flying enemy,, be it Cruise Missile, Long Range Gliding Smart Bombs, Ballistic Missile, etc. . In the real battlefield, these SAMs (S-300s, S-400s, Pantsirs, SAMP/T, Patriot, HQ-9) is a part of IADS. No system will be working alone. Clearly more Soviet SAMs than US/European SAMs in almost every battlefield, since the country that has the system it is almost always getting bullied by US and its allies.

Russia is the most advanced nation in the world when it comes to air defense. Nothing can match the S400 system. Especially the upcoming S500.
Spot on brother!
True, so if people say “S-400 is garbage” they’re basically saying all the other defence systems are dog shit. Every country would instantly buy the S-400 system if they were allowed or able to

What we need is a russian missile system that wont shoot down civilian aircraft. They seem to be very good at taking down Boeings. The ability to distinguish military from civilian needs some tweeking.
Maybe they can get the help from USA in developing that? O no, cant be done, they did exactly the same, they also shoot down a civilian Boeing...Bad SM-2 Missile...
@@MrCastodian IT was an Airbus, but this shows the limits of SAM as air defense weapons, they cannot investigate if a target is civilan or military. And too agressive commander can force his crew to commit mistakes.. That is why SAM cannot replace aircraft as a air defense tools, just to supplement them. The USS Vinncenes commander forced his crew to shoot despite misgivings about the target being civilian and not an F 14. The MH 17 was shot down by a Buk missile crew who though they were facing a Su 25 or a Antonov elint plane.. I bet the Iranian Tor M had the same conclusion.
You missed one important option for Patriot - SkyCeptor missiles. SkyCeptor are similar to the Stunner missiles used in Israel and their development is related. They are not quite identical but have similar size and range. Poland opted for SkyCeptor instead of PAC-3MSE because they are vastly less expensive while still highly capable. Poland uses the other PAC-3 components such as command and radars, just with these different interceptors. When comparing systems, this option should be noted.

Binkov does not mention the South Korean M-SAM which is based on S-350 technology. Samsung and LiG collaborated with the Russians to build the M-SAM whereas the Russians branched off to take that joint research to develop the S-400.
This is a fascinating case of a U.S. ally getting S-400 technology without upsetting the U.S.
I like watching the Russian S300 and S400 cold launches. They kick the missile out of tube, then fire their rocket motor. Are there any clips of missile misfires after leaving the tube?
Yes, search for “S-300 misfire” you can se a failed missile launch.
I enjoy listening to yer commentary
I love all your videos Binkhov, but you always seem most at home discussing aerial combat and related topics
Great video. S-400 is indeed probably the best missile system in the world, but it suffers from the same issue as any other SAM, it's ground based and not that good on its own. Even with the mast radar, Earth is round and you can't see past 40-50 km against low flying targets (and that's supposing flat terrain, that said, putting it on a mountain can also help against this). And 40-50 km is well within the range of a HARM or many other ground attack missiles, which makes the system vulnerable if it's not part of an integrated defense system as a few attacking aircraft can just approach low, peek over the horizon, launch a salvo of several missiles, go low again, turn around and leave. So, probably the best, but limited for being just a SAM. So I'd think that it wouldn't work well near the frontlines where such low flying attacks against it are possible, but it would be better in the rear where other units can cover against this, and the S-400 can defend against medium to high altitude attacks.
It can not be the best until proven
A question the "crew" for each SAAM that was show in the video is counting the troops to defend the perimeter? Or this is not need because will troops from other forces to defend the battery?
I don't think you are deploying a s400 battery in locations where you are worrying about ground forces.
Same as any system, it needs competent and constant upkeep to perform at full capacity, which it often doesn't get. Reminds me of a story about a Phantom pilot in Vietnam who had far mroe success than others with SRAAMs when they were first introduced because he knew the systems and did his own upkeep on them.
Good overview. However, I would have liked to see the Sky Bow included in the list of compared systems. It seems the Sky Bow 2 has a lot going for it. I also would have liked to see a little more detail on David's Sling, as it was barely touched on in a lot of sections.

Awesome video! And great analysis of comparing to other SAMs!
Any plans to analyze the S500?
A lot of speculation. We do know for sure that Russian missile systems are deadly against commercial transport aircraft that don't know they are under attack.
That is TOR operated by morons. I've read about the Serbian Officer whose team took down F-117 and one F-16 during the Kosovo war. He said that only the biggest morons would be able to take down a commercial jet, because it's shown as as such on the radar, and it's obvious even for older such systems it is, not to mention they carry transponders.
The plane also took off from Teheran, i.e. it was not spotted near the border, making the whole thing even stupider.
It is not the system's fault it's operated by morons
@Adecodoo Also, TOR is not modern system in any way, but it still wouldn't make the mistake of mixing a commercial jet with a fighter one, since way older Russian systems (which were used in shooting down f-16 and f-117) did not make such mistakes
@Samim Taheri in any case, not any fault of the system itself
@Adecodoo 32 years ago.
@Adecodoo So explain why the Iranians thought an attack was coming from their airport. In 1988, the perceived attack was coming from a hostile direction and the plane involved had a similar radar signal as an F-14 and there was confusion as to which radio frequency it was using, the pilot ignored the repeated warnings. The Iranian should not have sent a commercial plane into an area where they were engaging in small boat attacks. The Aegis is much upgraded from 32 years ago as most weapon systems have been also. Just consider what your PC was like 32 years ago compared to what you have now.
Send E/A18G Growlers with F15/F16/F18/22/35 as escort.
The analysis in this video has to be among the best a civilian could get without being an actual military contractor. Great job. I particularly liked how you pointed out the differences in US and Russian zone control doctrine in explaining why the capabilities of Patriot and the S-type SAM families differ substantially in certain areas. Doctrine is and has been the sum of all parts since war became more than just a knock-down, drag-out fight between rival villages. It doesn't matter who has the most capable 'X', but who has the best overall capabilities when 'X', 'Y' and 'Z' are all deployed in concert.

The S-400 Surface-To-Air Missile: The perfect target for the AGM-88 HARM Missile.
It can track planes in behind the lines .
@@jonathangant251 In order for the S-400 Surface-To-Air Missile System to do that, it has to emit an active radar pulse. That makes it vulnerable to the AGM-88 HARM Missile. The AGM-88 HARM Missile has a operational range of 150 kilometres; 92 miles (80 nmi). It has a speed of 2,280 km/h (1,420 mph).
SDBs are better imo than HARMs,S-400s never works alone,smaller SAMs(Pantsir, Tor) guarding them against precision guided weapons.Planes can launch more SDBs than HARMs to overpower SAMs.Imo S-400 is mediocre,just like Patriots , because it requires too much baby sitting to remain effective.Too static.S-350s represents future SAMs much better.Very mobile,hard to find,good but not insane range.
@@vindicare9636 SDBs have an operational range of about 60 miles (110 km). If it's my choice, I'll choose HARMs. Let the Iranians turn their radars on and get a pretty present. BOOM! If all else fails, use a Cruise Missile.
@@southtexasprepper1837 Yes,but combine it with 5th generation jets.They can strike targets with impunity,and more cost effective than HARMs,and much easier to make than cruise missiles,and fighter jets can carry more of them.If you launch HARMs too early,a modern SAM simply powers down its radar and starts moving and you wasted missiles, see Yugoslavia ,The trick with stealth is imo,that modern SAMs can track,and shot down a stealth plane.The real question is at what range can a SAM track a stealth plane,probably less than 100 kilometers if i pessimistic,and less than 50 kilometers if i am optimistic,combine that with an SDB,which is a hard target itself,and cheap,and you've got a very good challenge for SAM operators. Numerous small targets, in quick succession,instead of 2-8 targets.Plus SDBs do not care if the radar is powered down. The S-350 is a direct answer for the F-35 in that regard,it has more missiles(12 / launcher vs 4/launcher), quicker to deploy and leave firing position,and has active radar homing missiles,meaning it has fire-and-forget capabilities,and its locator can see 360°,against the S-400 90°.
Excellent basic analysis! Capabilities is second only to Intentions as The Queen of Intelligence...
General Hostage of ACC and General Bogdan have said the F-35 is more stealthy than the F-22. That means it's RCS is less than .0001M2, not .0014M2. And it's very likely stealthy down to L-Band with significant RCS reduction down to UHF. It's called fibermat, which LM announced as a breakthrough stealth material in 2010.
F-35 is not completely invisible from radar but Very Low Observable (VLO)
Very Low Observable, yes, at close range. But beyond 20 to 30 miles . . .
The F-35, F-22, and B-2 bomber are completely invisible to radar.
The B-1B bomber is slightly stealthier than the SU-57, but by American standards, we do not consider it a "stealth" aircraft.
@@RedRider1600 i work with radar equipments. all of the aircraft u mentioned can be spotted with radar but it is just on & off depending on the angle of the aircraft. Radar bands, type & size/power also a factor. a small military radar on an aircraft might miss signature but a huge powerful radar definitely able to detect return signature of those aircrafts.
@@2ndkombat
Not even huge powerful radar can detect true stealth aircraft, like the F-35 beyond 20 or 30 miles.
Unless you are talking about low frequency radars, that are too large to fit on ships and aircraft,
and definitely too large to fit on missiles. . .
The strength of a radar signal itself has little to do with stealth detection.
But the problem with low frequency radars, besides being massively too big, is that they are too inaccurate and too imprecise to use for targeting and precise tracking. They are large, usually immobile targets, that could be detected from hundreds of miles or thousands of miles away, and would be destroyed at the start of a war. The more powerful the radar is, the easier it is to detect and destroy them. We already know where they all are.
@@2ndkombat detection maybe..but keep tracking the target is a different story
Hey do Egypt vs Turkey! As an Egyptian I'd love to see the outcome since both Armies are close in terms of Quantity and Quality.
4: 00 - is Binkov having a stroke?
Until one of these systems shoots down a stealth plane, then it is just like any other system scrap.
Thankfully US Army has finally selected a new radar for the Patriot system. This new radar, made by Raytheon, is, of course, an AESA type radar, but more importantly it has a 360 degree coverage. Other data are not available since they're classified but it's fairly certain to presume that the sensitivity and the anti jamming capability are significantly improved too.
As far as S-400 is concerned, I won't be an asshole here and claim that our stealthy fighters and bombers would penetrate the ground covered by the S-400 like nothing. But that being said I have to point out that USAF has been intensively practicing and war gaming, tactics, procedures and weapons used, to counter these modern SAM systems. Let's just hope we will never have to find out whose side bet on the wrong horse. Us with the offensive doctrine with stealthy strike assets, or their side with strong defensive doctrine using more capable SAM systems.
That being said I have no doubts that the US Army could develop and field SAM systems that are more capable, even than the future S-500 system. That confidence comes from the fact that our Navy uses the most advanced SAM system in the world - Aegis with SM family of missiles together with the ESSM. The latest Aegis system combined with the coming SPY-6 radar is the only system in the world, naval or land, that can perform ballistic and anti air mission in the same time. All that could be copied and developed for the Patriot replacement. Since that would cost billions of $ and we are in the midst of a comprehensive modernization process, priorities must be developed first. From the nuclear overhaul (GBSD, Columbia class submarines and LRSO missile), to the Next gen air dominance fighter jet, to B-21 Raider and finally a complete overhaul of the US Army's long range firepower. From the longer range howitzer technology to the Precision strike missile meant to replace ATACMS and finally the plethora of different hypersonic systems that are being developed... Priorities, priorities...
@Anton Smirnov it shot an f117, not with its own radar but with a radar complex around serbia, but did you forget that that plane alone put several hundreds of bombs into Belgrade before it was shot down, and it was shot down via a predictable routine, Serbian spotters in Italy, and lastly, too poor of the weather for fighter escorts and Prowlers (the plane that jams radar)

@@rolebole8482 none of what u said is true
Remember Saudi Arabia Oil facilities destroyed while protected by US Patriots SAM? 'Cause it didn't work at all against Iran attack. So stop beleiving Dreams ans face the" REAL"...or reality. Don't worry, USA still has GAFA companies...and that IS good.:-).
@@aleksa3025 how is it wrong though?
part of me feels that stand off weapons and precision satellites will make large air defense like s400 obsolete.
The deadliest SAM...is Serious Sam :D
No mentioning of both metric and u.s cusomary units at the same time! Nice
As a system I'm sure its very capable. The problem with very large high speed long range missiles is that they will be relatively easy to detect and track (using a variety of different technologies). At very high speeds the missile won't be very manoeuvrable, which will make it relatively easy to evade by a small fighter target. We also don't know if US AESA radars will be able to jam the seeker head either. I suspect the system using the smaller high speeds missiles is likely to be more effective. However, that assumes F-35 would attack at latitude to user GPS/Laser guided bombs. These days they are more likely to be using smart self guided stand-off glide weapons or missiles. Other aircraft are likely to adopt low altitudes to seek to use land cover.
Before any strike package arrives, the US would certainly used F-35 pr F-15 based extend range HARM missiles to degrade the S-400 radar suite, probably fired from a relatively low altitude or behind the radar horizon using targeting data from other high altitude F-35 or AWACS/ELINT systems. We also have no idea how effective onboard ECM systems are either.
As you say, the fundamental problem with countering stealth fighters is the accuracy and effectiveness of the targeting radar(s).
when usa invaded iraq they used decoy drones to make the iraq s 200 systems waste their missiles . they flew in 200 drones past the s 200 and made them shoot it down on purpose while they were focusing on them the b2s hit them taking them out . not a single aircraft was shot down but that was the older system not s400 the f 35 is designed to control 11 drones at once with its headset as decoys
@@apollo-eu4fk s400 has a powerful radar it can fry the electronics inside drones.
@@r.p5380 The s400 kills stealth fighters by the hundreds. If there is one in theater it will consume the enemy with fire balls from its eyes and lightning from its arse.
@@apollo-eu4fk Its not the same. Iraq used the S200 as a single system and not part of a larger anti air group as the russians. Wasting missiles against drones is a pretty novice mistake or born from desperation if no other, more capable system in present to deal with the drones.
@@Zappina You don't know if it's a decoy or not if they are then you get exposed if they aren't they bomb you
Yes, turns out it very much can. And not just right now in Ukraine, Israeli's have been pushing through these no issue in the Middle-East since Russia took a larger part in helping the Syrian government.
S-400 isnt deployed in Ukraine.
Edit: sorry, it was actually used in Ukraine war but not in Ukraine lands, the only wartime it saw was when an S-400 SAM system downed a Ukrainian SU-27 over Kiev, from the Belarus border, very impressive.

Israel has a history of owning arabs using russian soviet weaponry lmao
Russia deployed them just in case, shooting down an airplane is an act of war
Binkov! I wish you would model allies more often. I like when the geopolitical scenario seems plausible. It means your attack plans are using the same assumptions that the real world military uses.
I loved your NATO 1989 series for this reason. I also like your Japan vs China and (full) EU vs Russia (and Belarus) scenarios as they seem like a plausible contingency if the US were to suddenly become embroiled in internal conflict. Please do more realistic scenarios!
WOW! great job.
There are a lot of very ignorant comments here to the effect of "because S-400 hasn't shot down an F-35 it can't shoot down an F-35 and is therefore useless" That would be like saying because a cop hasn't shot and killed a gangster he can't shoot and kill a gangster as is therefore useless.
Deterrence is a big part of this game. So far I am only aware of Israel hitting low value Iranian targets in Syria. If Israel was operating F-35s with impunity over Syria like it does over Lebanon or if it hit the SAM systems directly then we would could say it's a waste of money.
@helen he That's why the US doesn't operator anything flying where S400 is deployed.
Jake Dee Israel strikes Damascus with f35s...the s400s russia operated power down. They aren’t getting involved in a fight with a region power. Too scared
@@kcimb There is definitely an arrangement between Russia and Israel over Syria but it would be a mistake to think Israel is bullying Russia. The arrangement is something like this, Russia will not act to protect Iranian assets in Syria being hit by Israeli air power but will protect the Assad government. There is nothing in Syria that Israel wants to kill so badly that it is willing to risk war with Russia over. Killing Russians will require a response from Moscow. I believe that Israel would have crushed Damascus, directly or indirectly without Russian support. A strong Syria runs against Israel's plans. People will leave you alone once you have the means of self defense.
@@jakedee4117 Strong and Syria des not goes hand in hand... The Israelis probably want Assad in power as a lesser evil, but ruling over a ruined country.... that will take 250 billion to rebuild and the money will not come as long as Assad is in power... So Russia let Israel target the Iranians but neither the S 400 or the Syrian S 300 will target the Israelis.. Who probably will wipe them out in days if they do...
@@ricardosoto5770 Syrian air defense does target Israeli planes and they are perfectly within their rights to do so. I don't believe Israel wants to conquer Syria, but keep Syria weak with no clear leader. They have been supporting rebel/jihadi fighters.
The S-400 missile system is effective, but it has deficiencies. It's completely ineffective against tanks and armored bunkers
Well its SAM system, specifically designed to eliminate air threats.
@@jakiwijaya7316 i think he is joking
@@Amirali-tx3nw idk, but my first thought is also he is joking
@@Amirali-tx3nw i don't think so
It's been proven to be ineffective against low flying cruise missiles, like the Tomahawk.
And most likely ineffective against stealth aircraft. It's never shot down a single true stealth aircraft, not even in it's development and testing.
Just as I suspected. The huge number of missiles many sources say the S-400 can launch never account for what kind of small shorter range variants that are being used. 40N6 is impressive still, but not at the high volume everyone claims. Thanks for all the research you commit to doing!
Question:Is the s400 best system?
Answer:God bless murica..
The S400 is the best mobile ground based air defense system on the planet. You can't find another system with superior specs and performance.
@Jubei Origami I’ll keep that in mind next time I’m shopping for a surface to air missile
@@badmoose01 keep also in mind that the s400 dont have missiles to do half of the claims and Russian radar technology is decades behind. So if they can't see it, they can't shoot it!
You should do a video on how India SAM system shot down their own helicopter lol
Can it shoot down commercial airliners ?
S300 can
@Luke L. uf
That’s what Russian AA system’s are best at.
what kind of illustration software do you use?
Fair, balanced and comprehensive. Well done

Is the reloading time for an S-400 launcher Known?
If a battery is loaded with only/mostly big missiles it might be a problem.
