USA vs Russia: Breaking the S-400 (with F-35s)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 дек 2021
- HypOps simulates a hypothetical clash between an American Carrier Strike Group and a Russian S-400 battalion located beside Khmeimim Air Base in Latakia, Syria after a Tomahawk cruise missile launch is intercepted by Russian air defences including an S-400 Triumf, Tor Missile System, Buk Missile System, Pantsirs and Sukhoi Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft.

SEAD Aftermath Spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
The United States decides to execute a SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) first using older conventional technology such as F/A-18 Super Hornets, EA-6B Growlers, MALD-J Decoys, AARGM anti-radiation missiles and AIM-120Ds.
HypOps will simulate the scenario a second time using new and futuristic technology that will become available to the US Navy in a few years’ time such F-35C Lightning 5th Generation Stealth Aircraft with JATM AIM-260s, AARGM-ER and SDB-II Stormbreaker Bombs and EA-18G Growlers with the Next Generation Jammers.
Will the F-35C be the weapon system to break the S-400 missile system?
Also would the S-500 Prometheus do better vs the F-35?

Dude, I'll see you at a 500k subs in 2 years. You really have something special here. It's rare that I catch these sorts of things before the algorithm goes crazy. I'm going to turn on all notifications for this channel. Can't wait to watch whatever you make. I really like this channel as a way to understand modern military doctrine in action.

@@KJ-kn8pg Well, Ukraine won the battles for Kyiv and Kharkiv, are making advances in the south and are overall giving the Russians a VERY bloody nose where on paper they should not have been able to.
Do I think they are winning, though? No, not really. They are slowly being pushed out of the Donbass and are suffering a lot of losses, both militarily and civilian, and have had massive damage done to their infrastructure, industry and agriculture as well as basic services such as water and electricity.

Interesting to return here after Ukrainian strikes on Crimea, who could have known that drones and old AA missiles would be enough to breach the S-400 AA.
It however probably means that US ships are in big danger from chinese anti-ship missiles

I think those are nicknames from HypOps patreon or something like that.
Also, IRL callsigns typically aren't cool like in movies. They're usually jokes based on name, personality, or something the pilot did during training. I wouldn't be surprised is Ligma was someone's callsign out there.
meanwhile, in real life: S-400 gets blown up by an FPV drone
A patriot, by the way, too. It's not their job. Just as the Patriots could not shoot down a single hypersonic Kinozal, so the S 400 cannot shoot down low-flying storm shadow (although usually almost all are shot down) and FPVdrones
Not really. Some old Ukrainian S-300 launchers were destroyed by the Russian Lancet drone though
@@_Void_Archive_ OSINT has already confirmed the Kinzhal wreckage in Kyiv to the one crashed in Crimea, where they both share the same parts from Iskander-M and the same unitary warhead.

Kinzhal is literally an air-launched Iskander-M as well, with the US having similar system called the GAM-87 since the 1960s that went Mach 12. Patriot has been well-optimized to deal with ballistic missiles including hypersonic MIRVs and MARVs, with BMD being its primary mission since the 1991 Gulf War. From 2015 to today, the Patriot has already shot down 300+ ballistic missiles. What source said Russia shoots down down storm shadows as well?

It is the booby trap... the click bait
@@GTRNR wdym by this?
Nato has hired him to help plan attacks in Ukraine
We may not have needed something big but now we're getting it, would have been cool to see more of these mini-indepth videos exploring air defence concepts and stuff but seeing a full scale theoretical war is definitely more exciting.
What I've learned from HypOps videos. Have more missles than the enemy.
*_Why would the Russians defend a "dirt road" (air field) in the middle of the desert in the first place??_* If we learned something from the Syrian was it is that Russian are very good to prioritize, to make up of their shortfall. USA could not wipe out ISIS. But Russian bombed the oil trucks at the Turkish border crossings effectively halting the dollar flow. No salaries or new weapons for ISIS. And ISIS started to fall apart.
It helps to have more of everything, the good stuff helps
Russia: "Wait.... you wanna beat anti-air systems using air power"?
US: "No... I want to beat _everything_ using air power."
"It is almost as if somebody set this up to explore SEAD". That is indeed exceptionally curious...
Despite this seems like an unfair bully of the S400 system, this video shows exactly the strategic value of the S400: to make the attack so costly and complex that the attacker has to escalate the situation to achieve a minor tactical objective. The countries that buy those systems get their money's worth, assuming they can keep readiness high (which we know is the hard part).
Destroying red teams SAM system is not a minor tactical objective. Assuming they cannot be easily replaced, you have just created a scenario where other strategically important targets can be eliminated inside the theater of operations.
Less costly than having russians there ?
Without the putilanders there it will less costly to beat syrians, no?
And the weapon stockpiles are full...
Minor tactical objective ? If the S-400 systems were to protect something of strategic significance, often they would probably do, rendering them useless means breaking the cover wide open to destroy those dangerously exposed high value targets. Quite a major win, actually.
Everyone says that destroying the S400 system is a major win keep in mind that the second test is done with weapons operational in 2023, at which point the S400 is likely an out-of-date system and not likely be defending high-value targets, not alone anyway. So take out an S400 system in 2023 is only a minor victory. For the first test let face it all those lost aircraft are just not worth it.
@@LLAALALA - What would replace S-400 by then ? Would they be capable to survive an overwhelming attack similar to the 2nd sim scenario ?

Welcome back
Your channel is the best I've subscribed to in years.
I like how when you talk about the second engagement and you're opening with the stealth attack, led by the reconnaissance, your voice is notably lower. It really gives that air of talking about the importance of surprise and keeping a low profile, and as soon as the jig is up, much more dramatic again. Being able to carry the mood of whats going on on the screen with your voice is a good talent to have, and you do have it.
2 storm shadows flew right by a s300/400 battery and even the Russian crew were laughing.
And proceeded to hit right into an admirals office.
2 out of how many fired? Russia has shot down and jammed numerous storm shadows. This is why you don't hear of them anymore.
Most of it was intercepted by pantsir and the admiral is still alive Russia literally paved the entire Ukraine 😂😂

@@golamazammazumder There's also video of Pantsir crews filming the tracking system losing lock on Storm Shadows. Obviously Pantsir crews were blamed for strikes so they had to share it wasn't their fault but the system being hindered by stealth
As great as Russian or any missile defense system is, there is no answer for attrition and exhaustion. All systems can be overcome by merciless attack. Awesome stuff.
Yes but the concealment of f35 is absolutely astonisthing … enemy radar is practicaly useless to the moment when the attack begins …

Now, add the element of only half of those russian missiles being present in their launch tubes (rest sold on the black market) and it being crewed by at least 30% incompetent drunks.
For anyone who is upset, remember, this is only one battery of s-400 against almost a whole aircraft carrier air wing, in real life, it is unlikely that the US would have that many assets to overwhelm the defenses, in modern warfare, the capability to saturate enemy defenses may be the main differential that decide the outcome of a battle.
PS: Russia has almost 150 s-400 batteries.
Yeah this only simulation, only Petagon and Russian Defence Ministry are really know well their weapons. Outside that is only hypothetic figures based on there, that, this variables. Only real war can see the true one (hope it didnt happen).
True but this is best case scenario for S-400 - where enemy uses only air power of single task force to break thick anti air bubble. Russia doesn't have enough point defense assets to cover even half of these in such a thick defense. A lof of these S-400 are used for anti-ballistic defense, and lack typical short range cover. There's only up to 200 TOR's in entire Russian army, and not all of them are used for point defense of S-400. But safe to say they have enough to cover all front line systems with point defense. Also S-400 will not always have correct missiles loaded, and TEL's loaded for ballistic missiles won't really find anything to fire at.
In case of war, a lot of NATO assets would not even attempt to destroy S-400, rather would resort to ignoring the system all together, using stealth, jamming and altitude not to present themselves as targets in first place. Using ground forces and low altitude air strikes against soldiers at the front, and if front breaks then S-400 needs to retreat anyway, before it can be blasted by conventional artillery from ground, which can overwhelm it with ease if it gets into range. Especially dangerous would be massed MLRS strikes, that can often cover considerable range with considerable numbers - and can blindside radars.
As for example - Kaliningrad bases are within range of MRLS and even regular tube artillery from either Polish or Lithuanian territory. A saturation strike with hundereds of missiles from 122mm up would wipe air defense site regardless of how many systems there are in place and what point defense is used, often at fraction of cost of that site. And that would be worst case scenario for S-400 site.
Well my point is that even best air defense arrangement can be broken.
Yeah not nearly enough to deal with a full NATO assault wherever on the planet this face off happens to take place, the US by itself has 11 ready carrier strike groups. One of the first missions will be to degrade destroy enemy air defenses (SEAD). Just saying
I think you might be wrong there. The US is having a hard time keeping air groups up to full strength for all its active carriers. I will see if I can find the exact source.
@@Beneficiis the most one sided biased assessment so far. Research further on capabilities of the russians.

Thank god there are a bunch of 5 star military generals in the commentary section to help on this subject matter
Significant overestimation of the capabilities of the S400 and significant underestimation of the capabilities of American tech and countermeasures...... The EW on the F18 and F35 would mean a S400 wouldn't even come close, no need for defensive maneuvering.
Both were overestimated, Russian air defenses wouldn't respond as that with that much effectiveness and the amount of aircraft that were deployed on the American side was way too much. It's like mag dumping a civilian. Furthermore, the F18 would be struck without maneuvering due to the speed of the S400 missiles. The S400 would pick the F18s off one by one because of the radar and range advantages before the F18s could fire a missile. To prove this, an S400 missile goes 17,280 kilometres an hour whereas the top speed of the F18 is 1,915 kilometres an hour. You can do the math. (Also not sure about the F35, I'm mostly focused on older American aircraft)
Discovered you the other day, so glad I did. Not many other channels do these simulations. You have so much potential.
This has to be the best demonstration of an integrated air defense system, and the methods to penetrate and break one.
I think the coolest part is how this demonstrates the importance of electronic warfare in a modern battlefield. It's always been tough to learn and understand it, but this video does a great job at showing and explaining it!
This is logical only to someone completely ignorant. After 3 months of continuos bombing during invasion on Serbia, only 25% of relict radar systems were destroyed.
(pore American public are unaware of super cheap radar wave emiter decoys with far stronger emissions than actual radars)
In Serbia we lured thousants of super- expensive loiter weapons with 20/$ microwawe ovens. 😂.
Ignorance is truly bliss.
@@OleDiaBole That's true, the Yugoslavians were incredibly clever at keeping their assets alive even in the face of technological and material superiority.
On top of the microwave decoys (which I heard were even combined with fake radars to fool visual observers), the Yugoslavs also had a number of other tricks. For one, their decoys were remarkably effective. After the ceasefire, NATO observers would still have difficulty telling a fake from a real one, even if they knew there was a fake. Their decoys would go so far as to cover fake MiGs in foil to simulate the radar return, as well as putting in a little bit of burning fuel to simulate a idling engine.
Another trick they made extensive use of was camouflage. On top of conventionally hiding their radar and missile sites when they weren't in use, the Yugoslavs would also use other clever applications of camouflage, such as stretching black material over bridges to make them look like roads so they wouldn't be bombed
In addition, some Yugoslav commanders were very careful with their assets, most famously Dani Zoltan, the same commander who led the unit that shot down the F-117. Using lessons learned from the 1982 Lebanon war as well as many of the methods mentioned above, his unit avoided 23 anti radiation missiles with only minimal losses.
Of course, while being so careful was good for staying alive, it wasn't as useful for downing enemy planes. Throughout the 78 day action, Yugoslavians as a whole could only claim 5 manned aircraft kills in total. It's a good example of how even if SEAD doesn't kill enemy installations, it can still stifle and mitigate their presence.
This is really a saturation attack against a vastly outnumbered air defense unit. They are using $3B worth of aircraft in the 4G scenario to attack an air defense unit that cost less than $400M. The S-400 unit ran out of missiles against the saturation attack and got hit as a result. In the 5G scenario they are using over $5B of aircraft to attack an outnumbered air defense unit from an earlier generation.
If the other side had even half the budget of the attacker, things would have been very different.
@@jefferyzhang1851 For the record, redfor has closer to 1.3B in assets, since redfor also has ~700m worth of air assets on top of their ground based launchers and radars worth roughly 600m. Blufor also spent approx. 200m worth of tomahawks in the initial strike before the main engagement
Regardless, I think that's a good observation: one of the main reasons why 5th gen was so much more successful was that they brought more munitions, and kept more of their aircraft alive to deliver their payloads.
Really shows how spending just a little bit more can turn 20% losses into 0% losses.
@Russell's Brand To be fair this was a fairly contrived attack-defense scenario.
Involving Russian counter strike options would have complicated the scenario beyond its central purpose: test a USN carrier battle group's strike capabilities against a single S-400 battery.
As I mentioned in my comment, it's a vastly lopsided fight when you use $30B of hardware to hit $300M worth of defenses.
In the 4G scenario, the defenders would have basically incurred no ground casualties if they had even 2 S-400 batteries.
It gets even more funny when you realize S-400 was "protecting" a Russian boat that just got vaporized lmao
As we now know from the Ukraine, a few storm shadows are enough to switch off an S 400 battery. In reality, Russian air defense is much worse than we had imagined.

What I learned is that it would take an entire carrier group, an unbelieveable amount of firepower, and 5th-generation everything, just to successfully take out one S-400 system. So the Russians have something that makes everyone else think three times before trying it. Quite an accomplishment.
@flshmastrj the scenario is bullshitty on the air to air side red behaving very stupidly. And it doesn't take into account the russian navy and hypersonic anti-ship missiles.
So there would be no carrier left to go back and re-arm if this attack took place.
So no the us navy can't destroy a russian owned s400.
@flshmastrj The US wins in Syria and loses all assets in Europe. And Russia will attack the command centres in the US, probably with nuclear weapons.
@flshmastrj you know that because of Syria since 2015 there is always a russian fleet in this area ?
Do you realize that all what red team does in the scenario is letting blue team win ?
Why did they send small waves after small waves of fighters instead of one big, why not turn off radar once sead missile have break through s400 barrage etc etc.
And blue team cheats the combat range of the super hornet is not that big they would have to take off inside the s400 bubble or they would have to have a tanker to refuel inside the s400 buble (ain't gonna happened). And you can't pump out 54 hornets every 20 seconds catapults have physical limits too and have to cool down. And from what i saw 54 is the maximum numbers of superhornets in a nimitz so you send all you air superiority aircraft in the wave and none is left protecting the fleet etc etc.
You see what i mean irl it can't go that way the guy made the video like this to make us citizens like you have an erection.
@flshmastrj well, it takes a carrier, 54 planes only expected to be developed by 2023 armed with not yet developed weapons and tech to defeat a single outdated by 2023 SAM site and 4-5 extremely outdated planes. I guess thats a "win".

As a counterpoint, Tom Clancy managed to do a very good job in the fictional novel space and gained a sizable audience for it. I hope to channel a bit of him for HypOps.
I’m so fucking HYPED for these OPS, congrats on the viral video
3:12 The callsign is a subtle joke. There is a shop called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The shop sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Fuck and Suck".
First off: Great work making this. :)
Second... It is kind of crazy how much we overestimated Russian air defenses. Turns out all you need to score kills is to bolt a few HARMs from the early 90s to a MiG and set them to autonomous mode.
IRL, it's not a "shoot 90 missiles and they shoot down 70" situation. It's one where you shoot 1 missile and it stands a moderate chance of hitting.
Russian propaganda is second to none. All of their stuff is overhyped. If Russia was as good at military operations as they are at propaganda, they would’ve conquered half the world by now
Russian military stuff is junk lol

These simulations do a good job of conveying how complex, expensive, and destructive modern warfare can be. Often we only tend to see how advanced a single modern jet fighter is, without realizing that its opponent is equally advanced. The resulting air-to-air combat evens out and still has the same dynamic as two groups of warriors hurling javelins at each other and then running for cover, only more expensive.
I'm quite curious to see an exploration of drone swarms and their cost-effectiveness on the modern battlefield!
To what extent will they be able to change the battle space and will they render expensive fighter/carrier tactics obsolete?
smaller drones have no range and very limited EC and thus weak to electronic warfare. Cruise missile borage is the closest allegory, maybe having them stealth, cheaper with higher numbers and smarter to avoid defense and able to maneuver is the future. Not drone swarms.
Skyborg program the USAs project wingman have a bigger drones. longer range, heavier electronics, stealth with limited weapon storage and carrier centric. I could see dedicated smaller cheaper carriers carrying these new drones integrated into a navy strike group alongside the Super Carriers with F-35s. Expensive Fighters, semi expensive drones and carrier tactics are here to stay and is the future.
there was a concept of making a wall right next to EWR and TAR radars with really small radio wave emitting drone swarm. They are so small that even aaa would have struggle with it. Maybe they can bild the short range sam systems that engages with harms and stand off weapons
I'm always surprised how little content there is on modern warfare that goes beyond a single weapon platform and its capabilities. Often only a robovoice channel spouting propaganda numbers. Any reputable literature is typically geared towards military organizations/think tanks and there is basically nothing addressing/educating the general public. I hope I can do my bit to change this.
@@HypOps You're doing a great job ! Please keep doing that. I learned so much from your videos and you're right i never found videos like yours in this format.
In a way it's reassuring to see how targeted modern warfare is in comparison to the indiscriminate bombing of 80 years ago.
I find this video a bit funnier now that the war has been in full swing for awhile now and has shown the Anti Air and general use of the S-400 has been proven to be completely useless. Consistently destroyed, taken out and unable to intercept most projectiles. But regardless still a great video with the information provided at the time, but in reality around the time stamp of 2:15 nearly 60% / over half of those s-400 missiles would vastly miss their targets or some not even properly launch out of the tube as they are now days also showing consistent lack of quality.
2:57 there is absolutely no way a jet let alone Russian Pilots are catching up to a Tomahawk missile mid flight let alone ever actually make contact just firing their guns at it. A lot of this video for some reason shows these all having like a 100% accuracy rating.
The video was made under the assumption that Russia is not lying about the capabilities of the S400, which was a mistake from the start 😂
"UNSAFE WORKING CONDITIONS" 😆 I almost screamed at my screen, I lol'd so hard
The Ukrainian conflict is currently teaching us that the Russian air and ground assets are incapable of combined operations. It's either all plane or all air defenses, this means they are very poorly integrated with one another.

Now s400 tested as failed against ATACMS
There's a video going around of an S-400 site shooting off 6 interceptors and then getting whacked by a cluster ATACMS. The best interpretation is that the Ukrainians shot 5 ATACMS at that one site, and they hit 4. There's some reporting that 5 ATACMS total were used in that strike. Of course, it could have been at 5 different targets. The worst interpretation, naturally, is that they shot 6 interceptors at one measly ATACMS and they missed all 6.

Thats what classified means
@@yujinhikita5611 ….ummmm, not the same thing really. What I’m talking about is available knowledge, stuff that isn’t classified. The military makes the claim that the system can for example, target enemies 4 miles away accurately. But in practice the system can target enemies 6 miles away but not as accurately.
In short, they’re not over stating the systems ability but their not mentioning it’s maximum strength.
Some military’s (cough cough Russia and China) say that their radar can hit targets 10 miles out with this missile system, but in practice it can hit a target 10 miles out, some of the time, but can only reliably hit targets 5 miles away.
Piling on with others' praise. Just found this and am blown away by the quality of content - great setup, storytelling, and humor to boot. Instant sub!
Another point: I have a few hundred hours in DCS, but despite nerding out on that a lot, I've always struggled to grasp the "big picture" of larger campaigns. Things like what role the EW/support aircraft are really playing, why SEAD/DEAD/CAP packages are structured and ordered the way they are, etc. I kind of just went through the motions and pushed the buttons; had a good time but never really 'got it'. I know this vid is just a sim-based simplification but I still feel like I learned more from this than anything else before!
Keep up the great work!

I'm almost happy with the video quality in this one. I'll be focusing on upload frequency now.
The biggest flaw in this whole scenario is assuming the S400 works properly and that any Russian jets wouldn’t explode or disintegrate after take off
Overestimating the enemy and preparing for them at their theoretical best is doctrinal in the US Military.
With countries like China and Russia, they have to keep things looking perfect. When they reveal a new weapon, they have to show it off at a parade. They have to show how strong they are, they don't need to improve. The United States might have a reveal for something to please shareholders, but they never assume something is perfect. They have the largest defense budget in the world for a reason. They're ALWAYS 7 steps ahead. While military advisors in Russia and China keep telling themselves that everything is perfect and no improvements are needed, the United States is constantly underestimating itself. Constantly finding ways to get better so when they do eventually see combat, they can assure that it will be as one sided of a fight as possible.
This hasn't helped the pre-Ukraine war narrative that Russia is strong by basically everyone on the internet (myself and a few others excluded, I can prove it by going back through my comment history), but it has made for a spectacle the last couple of years.
This did not age well.
Adding to the scenario state of "moscva" ship, and that this would be in similar disrepair, we can safely assume the first salvo would do at least twice the damage,
with some of the AA not even loaded with ammo, or in a broken state for no reason, or malfunctioning halfway because of poor mainentenance.
Apparently in 2022, all you need to bring this down is half a dozen of TB-2 Bayraktar drones and maybe some jamming.

This video is just so good. I've come back to rewatch this 3 times now ❤️
I greatly appreciate what you have done here. You have visualized and simulated what I have been trying to explain to people for the past three years now, that the F-35 is not intended to act alone as an air superiority fighter, that its stats alone do not determine its effectiveness. It is one integrated component in a carefully calculated stratagem to capitalize on American standoff strike capability and compel a defending force to surrender its position by engaging active detection systems regardless for how advanced those systems may be.
You are awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm very happy with how the CEC and stealth/perspective sections turned out. These aspects are difficult to explain to the general public and I think this video did a reasonable job showcasing why they are so important on the modern battlefield.
In layman's terms:
The F-35 is intended to act as part of a network, and kek at enemy IADS by doing SEAD from outside their pew pew capabilities
@@KoishiVibin Fortunately for the defender their radars have no problems detecting the F35 at long distances and so any miscalculation of the depletion of the defender's missile capability will get the attacking side destroyed.
@@yaz2928 it meen that Israel have huge looses in Syria.
I can not remember Israel have any of it's F35 shoot down in Syria.
Am I wrong or?
@@strudaren3263 First of all, Israel does not fly its jets over Syria. It fires its missiles from Lebanese airspace towards Syria because of Syrian AA defense. The one time Israel did enter Syrian airspace its jet (F16) was destroyed at the Golan Heights.
Secondly, Russia has been intentionally turning off the S400 and allowing Israel to bomb Syria. Lots of Syrians are angry about this and it has strained ties between Syria and Russia.
Excellent, entertaining and detailed. By far the best combat scenarios I've seen on RUclips. Please make more!

Have there been enough changes in the 5th Gen attack to update this? This is probably the third time I have watched this. I have come to see the extent of work, so I appreciate whatever you do!
You need to make more of these videos - I NEED MORE, please! I'm totally addicted!
Cool simulation but I gotta say, a carrier strike group costs >25 billion with escort and aircraft and an s400 batallion is less than a billion
this s-400 with the missiles its was using would cost 5.8 billion
fellow viewer came up with these calculations:
Here's the numbers: "4th gen:
Red losses/expenditure
S400 battery: 48x~$1.5mil (estimate) for the missiles, destroyed radars & launcher probably cost >$100m for a total of ~$172m
Buk, Tor, Pantsir: Couldn't find any specific numbers on any of these but the Pantsir which is $13 mil a pop. Considering this, I don't think all of them combined total much more than $50m, including ammunitions.
Su35: $85 mil a pop * 6 = $510mil
Su34: $42 mil a pop * 4 = $188mil
A2A missiles: 60x R77 ($500k-$1 mil estimate each, let's say $500k), 20x R73 ($200k each estimate), 24 R27 variants ($200k estimate each). Total for all of that of ~$39mil
Total for everything: $959mil
Blue losses/expenditure (I'm assuming they fired all their munitions except sidewiners):
Prowlers: 3x Prowlers lost for $52mil each, total $156mil
Hornets: 1x Hornet at ~$30mil
Super Hornets: 5x Super Hornet at $70mil a pop = $350mil
ADM-160C MALD-J: ~$400k24=~$10mil
AMRAAM: 72~$1mil=$72mil
JSOW: $282k32=~$9mil
AARGMs: 48$870k=~$42mil
Grand total: $669mil (probably overestimate as well as not close to all AMRAAMs were fired, also ~1/4 of the losses were Prowlers which aren't even in use anymore and thus the replacement cost of $52mil isn't really the value of the aircraft)
If we just take the air-to-ground missiles fired vs. the interceptors, Blue team's costs are still lower at ~$51mil vs ~$72mil, and that's not even including the expenditure of all the Buk, Tor, and Pantsir batteries. (edited)
[1:06 AM]
The 5th gen scenario expenditure by Blue team on missiles is ~$200k64 for the glide bombs + $1.3mil16 for the AARGM-ERs for a total of ~$33.6mil. If we include all the destruction wrought on the Red team in the 5th gen scenario, the Blue team expended less than $75mil in munitions and killed somewhere in the range of $1.5bil in Red team equipment."

as if the Russians had this much operating stuff
I think the Russia-Ukraine war somewhat demonstrated just how unreliable at times even modern SAM systems (S-300 & S-400) could be. Didn't Ukraine, at several times, successfully hit Russian airbases (heavy bomber bases) at the heart of Russian land mass using 1980's era drones which are subsonic? So where were the S-300/400, Pantsirs & Tors which are supposed to intercept & shotdown those drones? Then there was that Russian battle cruiser Moskva which was hit by Ukrainian anti-ship missile which caused the warship to sink eventually. The Moskva was equipped with sophisticated SAM & CIWS system which were rendered useless against Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missiles flying at sub-sonic speed.
Now, US air to ground munitions like JASSM/JASSM-ER & SDB's are low observable weapons. While the HARM-ER is said to be flying at Mach-3 which would be difficult to intercept. I think it would be harder for SAM's & CIWS to shotdown those munitions especially if you factor in saturation & electronic jamming. I say in an actual battle/war, only about 50% to 60% of enemy munitions would be shotdown by S-300/400, Buk, Pantsir, Tor.
Most failures are due to lack of maintenance or radar failures for example the Moskva's radar interfered with communication and was turned off the hydraulics on the main gun were damaged the CWIS only had 1/7 working
@@B-52H Which goes to show how difficult & challenging it is to maintain all these high-tech war machines at 100% (or close to that) readiness & efficiency. Maintenance means money. As they say, war is mainly about economics.
@@jamclancy9335 its not so difficult to maintain if you have engeneers who can read and generals who would not steal maintaince money.
@@jamclancy9335 it’s not a difficulty of maintaining them so much as Russian military corruption
Surface to air weapons are always a last line of defense. As the strike package gets to choose when and where they will attack, have height and mobility on their side, and even get to use gravity itself to power their weapons while the defending side has to work against gravity.
Each attack aircraft can carry as many glide bombs, which might be low observable, as each SAM launching vehicle can carry missiles. And what happens if these glide bombs are just cluster munitions launchers like the JSOW? They could be adapted to deploy smaller glide bomblets or loiter bombs like switchblade.
I like that in CMO you had to utilize the entire might of a carrier strike group to suppress \ destroy the S-400 battalion here. All it took in Ukraine to knock down several batteries (part of a large AD network) were a few ancient MiG-29 tweaked to carry ancient AGM-88B, coupled with some decoys \ drones. This illustrates just how hard it is to emulate actual readiness and gaps in coverage \ efficiency in a software that just reads the (declared) specifications and assumes the system's full posture and maximum readiness. SEAD operations are more intricate than just a large head on strike, and are often planned with a more careful approach in mind, distributing the strike to attrite, degrade the capability of the AD system, and/or use other operational means \ methods to suppress it. I am sure that AFTTP 3-1 and related manuals have a lot to say about it, no wonder it is classified.
Yeah these simulations are based on if you have mildly competent leaders/generals lol
@@Hectilli0n It's not just the Russians. Air defense is really really difficult even for good militaries. The USS Stark didn't manage to fire a single shot in self defense before being struck by Exocets.
In CMANO it would've been flinging SM-1s the whole while, blasting the Phalanx, and probably had sailors shooting .50 cals at the missiles, lol.
@@NonsenseFabricator Stark's air defence systems and phalanx were all turned off.
@@Sirius1914 Yeah, because they didn't detect the launch. Phalanx is normally switched off to avoid friendly fire.
@@NonsenseFabricator Because all of the systems were off.
This issue here is you're highly overestimating the Air Defense capability of Russia's personnel. It's one thing for the S-400 to engage, but now you're asking for ground controllers to "walk on" fighters for engagement on cruise missiles. CMs have very small RCS and it's extremely difficult to find and engage them.
We do exercises all the time with cruise missile defense and most times a fighter might be able to take out 2 cruise missiles before the rest get through and you can't chase them down.
Yeah russian personel are so useless when a serb ground officer took down an American F117 with an outdated Anti Air. You are very nationalistic.
Still, it’s better to overestimate than underestimate right?
@@Butter_Warrior99 Sure, but only up to a degree. At some point it's gross overestimation. From what I've seen in my career trying to target aircraft to cruise missiles, this is a high overestimation.
That means no training.
@@Butter_Warrior99 If that were always true, Russian propaganda wouldn't have worked so hard to make us overestimate them.

Hey to be fair to Russia they are sending in junk to Ukraine. A lot of the videos of captured Russian soldiers they are all prisoners given reduced sentences to fight in Ukraine. So they are even sending junk soldiers. Either way economically Russia wouldn't have a chance against NATO. China is the threat. Especially in about 5 years time. Power shift for sure.
Aged like shit
The fact you spent $80 on this game just to show off military tactics is kinda pog
Gen5 sounds terrifying... Imagine what kind of damage a strike like this can do to a unsuspecting highly populated city....
The beautifully engineered carnage.
A lot of modern media, while deeply enjoying violence, often avoids depicting large scale modern engagements, finding it too difficult to make a battle fought with radio waves and computer screens exiting. Either battles are simplified to an earlier tech level, where modern stealth fighters somehow engage in dogfights, or they are portrayed with a few passing mentions, with the focus of the story being something else.
This RUclips channel somehow manages to do it all, spectacularly.
Not to mention the ability of viewers to understand stuff.
I remember an article abput an Israelian air raid, where a fighter used a russian helicopter to loose a SAM that then hit the helicopter. People called that anti-semitism as an aircraft could never hide behind another aircraft.
As they say, flexibility is the key to air power. The most obvious issue with the American 4th gen attack is that they don't use the mountain range to the east of the SAM site. Flying low on the eastern side of the mountain range, the attackers should be able to deny all the ground-based air defenses the ability to shoot at the aircraft, leaving them the same weapon saturation attack they faced in the 5th gen strike. They may have needed tanker support and overflight into Israel and Jordan to pull that off, but I think it's fair to give them that. The only real threat would have been the fighters, and they could have either been saturated with MALDs or perhaps picked off with MALD/Prowler supported Hornets before they even get the chance to shoot.
I guess we don't send out a lot of flares to confuse the heat seeking missiles ?
"Publicly claimed" depends on who's saying it. USA? It's an understatement. Russia or China? Gross overstatement

Eine Simulation ist komplett Sinnfrei. Da viele Faktoren nicht berücksichtigt werden und viele Daten unter Verschluss sind. So ist es einfach nur ne Vermutung oder ein Wunschergebnis. Je nach dem auf welcher Seite man sich befindet.
Es beruhigt die Amerikaner, wenn sie sehen, dass das viele Geld für die Rüstung gut angelegt ist.
Aus taktischer und strategischer Sicht ist diese Studie wertlos. Ein massiver Angriff mit Tomahawks im Werte von mehr als 100 Mio $ würde mglw Erfolg haben, aber danach wäre die Munition der Kampfgruppe auch stark reduziert. Die Studie kann ich auf diese Weise immer zum Erfolg führen, ich setzen dann eben 200, 400 oder 1000 Tomahawks ein, was deren Unsinn aufzeigt.
Die anderen Szenarien gehen ebenfalls davon aus, dass ein statisches Ziel angegriffen wird und der Russe keine aktiven Gegenaktionen gegen den Ursprung des Angriffes startet. Das darf man kaum erwarten. Weiterhin ist Überraschung eine der wesentlichen Kampftaktiken - was ist, wenn der Russe eine weitere S-400 und Flugnahabwehr vor Ort hat?

Flugzeuge kann man über Satellit nicht verfolgen, dafür sind Kampfflugzeuge zu klein, zu schnell und zu viele. Stealth Fighter schon gar nicht. Und ja, die Russen haben Strategien gegen Flugzeugträger, sagen sie zumindest. Ob die dann auch funktionieren und die Amerikaner nicht auch Strategien gegen die Strategien haben, ist die andere Frage. Ich habe eher Zweifel, dass die russischen Raketen im Falle des Falles noch so funktionieren wie sie eigentlich sollen...
@@Andreas-gh6is Naja, das zweite S-400 wäre m.E. nicht im Betrieb, das wird nur aktiviert wenn der Angriff läuft oder nach dem Angriff, wenn der Hauptangriff gegen die beabsichtigten Ziele erfolgt. Aber natürlich ist es ein sehr komplexes System.
Was die Satelliten können: Ich bin mir da nicht so sicher. Aber letztlich werden die Russen einen solchen Angriff durchgespielt haben. Wenn wir etwas aus der Wehrtechnik kennen, dann doch die schnelle Reaktion der Abwehr. Schon Hitler hatte das Konzept, dass jedes Jahr Krieg eine neue Generation von Waffen erforderlich macht, d.h. die Planungen der Waffensysteme überschneidet sich und mit dem Erscheinen ist diese bereits wieder veraltet.
Simulations are run with the best scenario and don't account for certain things, not ripping into the vid, this is really cool
this might be the coolest video ive seen
This is the most detailed simulation of a modern military engagement I've ever seen so far. Keep it up! :)
And guess what, you can even do it yourself. This was made with Command Modern Operations with Tacview Advanced ($112.48 on Steam). Expensive, but once you "learn" the game, you can make some crazy scenarios and just sit back and watch how they play out.
Thank you! And I will!
Only shows your ignorance 😂
Poore American public are obviously unaware of super cheap radar wave emiter decoys with far stronger emissions than actual radars. After 3 months of continuos bombing during invasion on Serbia, only 25% of relict radar systems were destroyed.
In Serbia we lured thousants of super- expensive loiter weapons with 20/$ microwawe ovens. If you are brilliant enough to belive Russians would go in with such superficial approach and configuration, with 2 aircraft, no AWACS, and no naval assets, better stick to driving taxi instead halucinating that you are military pseudo expert.
@@OleDiaBole imagine bragging about losing a fourth of your radars.
@@bobtank6318 He made good point - Losing few million dollar rocket to 20$ microwaves is painful! Dont forget the loss of F-117 for stupid reason.
Lol this aged well. We may just get to have real information on this soon.
Really high quality stuff!
I find the inclusion of the Pantsirs funny because the Syrians have found them to be next to useless due to how absolutely blind the radars on it are
