China is the only one we're worried about now. We'll let the euros handle you. They may be effeminate socialists, but they are more than enough to handle you fags.

What were they targeting? More tundra?

>Hahaha... Mutts BTFO!
Not really, they still have a long way to their own version of SM-3.
more civilian airliners probably
I'm pretty sure the SM-6 has already been tested to greater distances than that.
someone post that video or webm of a s400 barley getting out of the tube and falling over
Not the one you requested but russia has a lot of them
>299 miles
That's what, 260nmi? Russia says the S-400 has a max range of 215nmi and that one is already completely unproven. At that range, against a maneuvering target like the F-22 or F-35, it probably won't even have a 5% PoH.
If anyone cares, that's a Krivak misfiring an SS-N-14 SILEX.
They can't see them on that distance, that missiles are AWACS killers.
>Read the linked article
>Hypersonic
A ha ha ha ha. Anytime Vatniks use this buzzword, it means they are lying. Same with Chinks using 'quantum'.
Complete bullshit
>299 miles
When inifinite is 22km in russian propganda speak, how much is 299 miles?
S-400 doesn't even work. We can fire a bunch of tomahawks at the Kremlin to kill Putin and his cronies and there is nothing they can do about it!
Propaganda is virtually the only thing Russians are good at, they're the best liars mankind has ever known. Complete with prototypes from years ago placed recently in their historical archives.
LOL'd. Are you a comedian or just retarded?
>they're the best liars mankind has ever known.
That would require them to be successful.
Interesting how a new super-duper AA system gets announced right after Syria takes some high profile bombings from the US and the Israelis with negligible AA resistance. The fact that they're already making a new system with the old one only being in service from 2007 does not inspire a great deal of confidence in the Russian military's internal opinion of its equipment.
S-500 is an evolution of the S-400. It includes new radars with more capabilities and the capability of engaging satellites and ICBMs. It's not exactly a replacement for the S-400. Each generation of the S-X00 systems adds newer capabilities.
Fails on parade day.. that crew got a lashing from the captain as the captain got a lashing from the admiral as the admiral got a lashing from Putin.
Also, did the missile just fall into the bay right from the launch tube while the launch rails went wild?
>A legacy system with some upgrades bolted on hit a pre positioned slow flying drone target
Hey make sure you at least turn it on this time
Did any airliners disappeared in that region?
Yeah, how dare they continue to improve things! Everyone should just do what you do and stay retarded, amirite?
Please do the genepool a favor and suckstart your 1911.
>...13 SAMs had been fired at the 8 F-16Is which took part in the initial attack, with another 14 SAMs fired during the subsequent attack flights, resulting in a total of 27 missiles fired on the attacking jets
1 for 27? I wouldn't be flaunting that
>we fired 1 missile and it hit perfectly
Do you think that's how real life works?
>All this fatnik seething itt
Mutt butthurt alone is worth having the best SAMs on the planet.
You seem very defensive. We've been told that the S-400 provides impenetrable coverage for ten years now and when it finally has a chance to prove itself absolutely nothing happens despite Russian claims that they'd intercept strikes directed at Syria. Then a month later, Russia just happens to be testing a new version of their super-awesome AA system? Either the Russian military isn't confident in it or they have a tremendously bad sense of timing.
a single plane in nearly 40 years
based on the syrian strikes he might not be too far off.
>reposting pictures to make yourself feel better
lol
>based on the syrian strikes he might not be too far off.
nigger, Putin and Netanyahu have a deal. S-400 would never attack Israel.
We knew S-500 was in development for years at Kapustin Yar test site, you 30-years old boomer. And it's primarily an ABM (anti-ballistic system). The systems from the S-500 wouldn't be used to shoot down tomahawks or F-16s, it would detect them easily but it would be the S-400 that would engage them regardless.
S-500 = THAAD counterpart.
at a rate of 1 IAF jet every 40 years, Syria should have finished off the IAF in 16,000 years. That is if they don't buy new planes in that time
Inshallah!
I'm not a vatnik, but Russia doesn't even try to detect Israeli jets. Putin and Netanyahu have an agreement, and Assad/Iran just have to take it with a smile because they need Russia to survive.
>30 year old
>Boomer
1987/88 is way past Boomer, dude.
You can even read in the article that the S-500 is supposed to intercept aircraft, not just ballistic missiles. Given that the S-400 didn't intercept any Tomahawks, despite Russian claims that they would, it now falls on Russia to prove that both systems are as capable as they say they are.
You'd do well not to get attached to any weapon system until it's actually proven itself. That path leads to disappointment, shitposting, and the garbage ACRs that I'm still salty about.
>despite Russian claims that they would
Russians claimed that they're gonna intercept missiles that threat Russian forces.
Anyway, Syrians intercepted 71 of them with Pantsirs and Buks. Syrian opposition SOHR claims that more than 65 were intercepted. SOHR is trusted source in the West.
Cut the crap, you cant impress anyone with old reheated bullshit, it didnt the worked the first ten times it was said, sure as hell aint working now, you are just making it worse for yourself and the russian side.
>Citing Russian envoy.
Russian military is the reliable source.
Anyway, Syrians did shot down them.
>Anyway, Syrians intercepted 71 of them with Pantsirs and Buks
>Syrians did shot down them.
Yes, as evident by the smouldering craters of all the targets.
You're fucking retarded.
>Russian military is the reliable source.
this is bait right? the russian military is about as accurate as Baghdad bob, what with the constant lies and goalpost moving.
>Syrians did shot down them.
and we have yet to see any credible evidence that isnt either videos of the syrians shooting at nothing or used boosters being flaunted as debris from a kill.
We are still waiting for all proofs of the intercepted tomahawks in 2017, so dont think you can just go and start with the same exact bullshit.
Anyone taking bets? How likely is it, he going to post those useless blurry thumbnail pictures or the russian missle parts next?
Tomahawks had an abysmal success rate.
moonofalabama.org
You do realize the Syrian and Russians can't take out Israeli jets any time they want to right? The kike faggots own washington and the media. Syria and Russia just want to end the war instead of provoking an American response which is exactly what the kike faggots are trying to do. How do you not already know this?
>moon of Alabama
you might as well cite infowars
you
pluto's orbit
the point
Yes, the main highlight of the S-500 is engaging low-orbit objects nonetheless. It has launchers that can use the long-range supersonic anti-air missile that has 400km range, this is the missile that pretty much defines the S-400 and makes it sound "impressive" or "nightmarish" for any pilot facing a nation that has it.
The thing is, the S-500 includes more powerful and versatile radars and not only that but it comes with more specialized radars to do specific functions such as detecting stealth aircraft, low-orbit objects and low-altitude missiles like the tomahawk. Which means it can detect flying objects even further than the S-400 and use the S-400 missiles more effectively.
who should I cite, Pentagon? CNN? Raytheon?
Kek. stay mad mexican friend.
someone with actual evidence?
oh wait, you cant do that because none has been found.
stay mad my drunken friend.
Weak comeback, faggot
>66 Tomahawks were fired
>70 were shot down
Those arn't the launch rails but the ignition charge that launches the misille out the tube.The rail hit the water just before the missile did.
This.
>Given that the S-400 didn't intercept any Tomahawks, despite Russian claims that they would
>In the event of a threat to the lives of our servicemen, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will retaliate against both missiles and carriers who will use them
tass.ru
Which Tomahawks were a threat to Russian servicemen? Oh right, none of them. Imbecile fatniks.
>Complete with prototypes from years ago placed recently in their historical archives.
Explain, I don't get it. You mean they're essentially manipulating their historical archives, by modifying the dates at which a given prototype was conceived?
>Syrians claim to have shot down more missiles than were fired
If I recall, the Chinese equivalent already hit a .0001m2 target from 499 miles away. I don't understand why this needs a thread when China has better missiles.
>expecting an impoverished third world shithole like Russia to do anything right.
No surprise that their SAM systems consistently underperform when compared to their European counterparts. Slavs are genetically resistant to any sort of competence
Subtle, kek.
its a replacement for the A-135
This.
Besides, since S400 is just S300PMU; You can safely assume S500 which is advertised as evolution of S400 suffers from the same inherent design flaws.
They really need to test these with accurate combat conditions, i.e. Russian models should be tested with one operator 10 days deep into a liter plus a day vodka binge and have a BAC of at least 1.4 and one operator should be nodding on krokadil.
Export models the Arab testers should be coming down off speed and high on khat.
No, It was an appropriate comeback. You don't deserve more, cunt.
The mountain brake was probably on.
see Even russian propaganda outlets used the statement, so dont act like this wasnt universally seen this way. Vatniks BTFO themselves like always.
fucking kek
