What ?Hole wrote:But Russia has Tarantul ECM pods and missiles like Kh-31 and Kh-58UshK. Soon there will be a hypersonic missile for the Su-30/-34/-35/-57/-75 and S-70 drones. Good enough for such SAM systems like Patriot or Thaaaaad.
ECM pod are not some dedicated feature on Russian aircraft alone, and ECM pod can be countered by HoJ feature on SAM. Missile like Kh-31/58 are pretty similar in function to HARM, but that alone is not enough without decoys.
Kinzhal are too big for the aircraft you named. Zircon is sea/ground based and Russia doesn't have similar program as HAWC and HACM yet
