Or, for example, a ground radar station. Today, this radar is a multi-storey building, but if you start to believe that radio Photonics work, then the station can be installed on a conventional truck. The efficiency and range will be exactly the same – thousands of kilometers. Several mobile and small complexes can be combined into a network, which will increase characteristics of these radars.
KRET creates a laboratory for research in the field of photonics
That said it would still be foolish to leave the S-300s if they are available to you, of course this depends on the mission there are times you must leave the S-300 behind, take the VDV for instance.
Thats what i mean, why not also deploy fixed unit around such a hill as well, you'll have no gaps (of course they wont replace the mobile units) and they'll help prevent any nasty surprise gifts from Uncle Sam 24/7.
Even being on a hill doesnt mean you can hit in the back of another hill. Or better said to see first in the back of another hill. Fixed must be either placed on plain terrain either on biggest hill but whit aerian radar.

Of course my analogy does not work well when the weapon system in question has a range of up to 250km...

What I am suggesting is a trap... your enemy will look at the land around your defended target and will see that hill straight away... if they don't spot any obvious radar or air defence unit on that hill or beyond it they might think the hill creates a blind spot and to fly a cruise missile at low altitude from behind that hill only to appear on defence screens as it flys past the hill would be a good way to attack... except that such a move would be anticipated so radar and missiles hidden on the hill would detect the incoming missile at long range and shoot it down easily.

Or use a mobile unit to go onto the hill in times of tension when an attack becomes possible... and camouflage it so they don't know it has moved there

During the days of the Soviet Union the general convention to intercept Ballistic missiles using the S 300 was to fire two exo atmospheric missiles followed by two endo atmospheric missiles.
Is the same practice in vogue in Russia today now that the S 400 is in place?

Viktor wrote:On the other hand now toop tier Russian SAMs can engage much more dificult targets
and in those cases it is likely 3-4 missiles will be used.
Viktor wrote:Same situation is applied in any case depending on how difficult target is no matter are we speaking about SHORAD or top tier class. How many missiles, who and with what
guidance is determined by command posts.
But what about other old and same path SRBM's , IRBM's or MRBM's ?
If they are still unable to destroy the incoming warhead then the S 350 will fire the 9M96 and 9M100 missiles.

jhelb wrote:The S 400 for all means and purpose will be used against IRBMs. ICBMs will be handled by A 235 until the S 500 arrives.
Is that what you are saying?

If they are still unable to destroy the incoming warhead then the S 350 will fire the 9M96 and 9M100 missiles.
Is that the modus operandi?

I'm not nearly as knowledgable as viktor but I'll give it a shot.jhelb wrote:Viktor wrote: Sometimes command post will issue the comand to fire a single 40N6 or 48N6
Thanks again Viktor. Just two more questions:
1. What is the speed at which 40N6 and 48N6 travels? I read somewhere that they travel at hypersonic speed, Mach 5 and above. Is that true?
2. How long can the 40N6 and 48N6 remain airborne before they exhaust all the fuel?

Sort of related to this....new transport vehicles 5T58-2 for the S-300/400 have started being serially produced
