British F-35 fighters cannot take off due to Russian air defense systems deployed in 10 kilometers

Russia deployed its S-300 near the base of the British F-35.

A few days ago, a Russian warship was spotted near the Royal Air Force base with one of the most advanced Russian air defense systems on board - naval versions of the S-300 air defense system. Russian systems are located less than 10 kilometers from the Royal Air Force base in southern Cyprus, in connection with which London was forced to suspend any flights of its fifth generation fighters.

According to publicly available airspace monitoring data, not a single fifth-generation British F-72 has been seen in the skies over southern Cyprus in the past 35 hours. Obviously, this is due precisely to the appearance of the S-300 air defense system on board the cruiser Marshal Ustinov, and in the UK they regard Russian air defense systems as a serious threat.

Nevertheless, experts say that the electronic warfare and electronic reconnaissance systems that are on board a Russian warship located in the port of Limassol pose a much greater danger to British fighters.

“Even if we assume that F-35 fighters have means of countering Russian air defense, Russian electronic warfare systems will be able to quickly determine exactly how countermeasures are carried out, and, therefore, this will make it possible to develop countermeasures, not to mention that powerful suppression will disrupt normal operation of the fifth generation fighter systems ", - the expert notes.

It should be clarified that at the moment the Russian warship has already left the territorial waters of Cyprus.

little dear, what a dense you are ... you are afraid to trust the machine.

and if the strait is less than 20 miles wide?

What kind of aircraft is it - if it doesn’t take off just because a missile system is deployed nearby? .. worthless to such an airplane!

Territorial waters are adjacent to the shore of the state - the sovereign territory of the state is 12 miles long, according to international agreements.
