Analysts from the PRC questioned the effectiveness of Russian S-400 complexes.

Despite the fact that China could become one of the main importers of Russian air defense systems S-400, analysts expressed a number of doubts about the effectiveness of these anti-aircraft missile systems.

An article appeared in East Day, in which experts are trying to understand why such highly effective anti-aircraft missile systems like the S-400 have not yet been deployed to Syria. Given the fact that the United States of America, as well as Israel, used fifth-generation fighters F-22 and F-35 in the Syrian Arab Republic, these systems would certainly provide complete security for Russian military bases, and would also allow intercepting cruise missiles. however, despite the existing potential threat, Russia (officially - author's note) began to use in Syria only the systems of the previous generation - the S-300.

“Russia praises its S-400 air defense systems so much that there is an assumption that these systems are invulnerable and capable of destroying enemy aircraft and missiles by dozens. Nevertheless, so far we see that Russia is using exclusively S-300 systems to protect its bases in Syria, which raises a number of doubts about the effectiveness of the S-400 air defense system, especially after the Western coalition and Israel inflicted several air and missile strikes on Syria ", - military analysts said.

Indeed, to date, no information has been received from the Ministry of Defense on this issue, but this may have its own reasons.

“The S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems are a fairly new air defense system, which nobody wants to“ shine ”in front of a potential enemy. Of course, this raises doubts and concerns about the effectiveness of such complexes, but given the fact that even the US partners decide to purchase the S-400, all this completely dispels any doubts. ", - marks the military analyst of the resource Avia.pro.
