WritterNg:Exactly, Look at oreshnik, who knows which weapon is next that will be worse than oreshnik, Russia is producing weapons according their usefulness in wars, not some fancy tech. They have made so many tech during this war that I can't count and they are upgrading the old tech. Plus they are doing it at fast pace |

Funny seeing guys here hyping the S-400, a system whose ineffectiveness has been public spectacle in Ukraine, Multiple S-400 systems have been destroyed by the Ukrainian military, Military airbases which was under her protection have been times without number been hit and the airbases precious cargo she was protecting where successfully hit, the notable one being the airbase in Crimea All this was done by a Ukraine military, well below par to Russia. Imagine what will happen to Moscow if the same barrage of missiles and drones that were fired into Israel were fired into Russia. Russia has been known to over hyped it military toys from the over hype S-400 to the T-14 Armata tanks, which was turned into an expensive artillery piece in Ukraine, instead of been used as a main battle tank which she was originally designed for. to the "supposedly stealthy Su 57 who instead of being used as a superior fighter in Ukraine, dominating enemies airspace, she is now a "superior" bomber firing missiles deep in russian airspace Most Russia military toys are junks, well below its western made contemporaries. We all saw how the Jews used its western made f35 and dorminated the skies over Iran, why his Russia not using the F-35 russia made counterpart the Su 57 in military operations over the Ukrainian capital keiv, The supposedly next thing in military aviation the Su57 is still firing missiles from inside Russia airspace. ππ |

It's funny how anyone wants to make Israels air defence system the best in the world after all what we have seen ππ€£π€£πππ€£ USA , France , Germany and Jordan where helping shoot down Iranian missiles and still the David Sink and iron doom could not do jack π€£πππ€£π€£. Make Una dey deceive unaself there. The best air defence system in the world is the Russian s400 , you can check any site and confirm for yourself. Iron basket and David Sink π€£ππ€£π€£ππ€£omo Iran really show Una pepper oπ€£πππ the way the thing they take pain Una. Even trump don chop him L in peace, netanyahu don chop him L in peace but na the zombots in here they cry on their behalf ππ€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£. Make Una no worry, I no say hand dey always hitch the baby k.i.l.l.e.r.s to pai something, they will still look for Iran's trouble again when they have been fully stocked by their big brother's and it will still end in tears |

Russia launched a combined total of 537 aerial munitions against Ukraine, consisting of 477 drones, decoys and 60 missiles, according to Ukraine's air force 500+ missiles and drones fired at Ukraine, and only two people were killed? This speaks to the precision of Russia's highly advanced munitions. It suggests that they are going to great lengths to avoid collateral damage, ie, unnecessary civilian deaths! If it is ur brother from the other side, we would have at least 200K- 500K civilians deaths by now |

Gbadebo19:You are still not getting the point, Iran won't strike Israel even if they have the capacity because there are many countries with vested interest Israel. You have Russians, Americans, Germans, Poland etc as Israelis citizens so if Iran hit Israel with nuke you are 100% certain Iran be nuke within 24hrs that very knowledge is enough to keep Iran at bay, but if Israel decided to nuke Iran today, you will only see the world complain but do nothing. |

Hoaxen:The calculator and smartphone comparison make is more logical and relatable. A sniper rifle and an assault rifle are two very different platforms used by two different sets of people for two very different tasks. They are incomparable. Either will fail where the other excels. An assault rifle cannot replace a handgun or even a shotgun either. Those have very different roles. It can replace a machine gun on specific cases, but you'll need to replace the magazine with a belt. As for the calculator-phone comparison, a person who wants to use a calculator can use their phone or a dedicated calculator. But the phones can do other things other than just calculating, which makes them superior. Some calculator apps on phones are even more advanced than advanced scientific calculatiors. With that in mind, calling the s400 a multipurpose platform is misleading. It is not a multipurpose weapon. It is designed to shoot down ballistic missiles along with cruise missiles and aircrafts, which is normal for those type of weapons. Cruise missiles and aircrafts share similar tech and work similarly, so anything that can shoot one can shoot down the other. As for ballistic missiles, anything capable of shooting down a cruise missile and aircraft will shoot down a ballistic missile. So, it is not the s400 that is multipurpose. It is the THAAD that is inferior. A dedicated anti-ballistic missile platform like THAAD is almost never heard of. Countries almost never develop it. Instead, they do is to develop a system that shoots down cruise missiles and aircrafts or satellites. Such system can then be used to shoot down ballistic missiles. |

shoodboi2:Oga the S400 is a multi purpose system, the reason why it is tag so is the ability of the S-400 to fire different types missiles interceptors with different range, a missile used to target an ICBM, can't be used to target an aircraft or a low flying drone nor a cruise missiles. An S400 can fire different types of missiles, depending on the type of threat being faced They are many specifically made air-defences used primarily for anti aircraft purpose, they are some used for ballistic missiles, some short range and some long range ballistic missile, The iron dome won't be effective against a long range ballistic missile, the Israeli Arrow and the david sling are the systems used to attack such long range ballistic projectiles The Thaad systems is used basically for ballistic missiles at the terminal phase when they want to re enter the earth atmosphere, The Chinese equivalent is the HQ-19.. just because Russia doesn't have specific systems for different types of threats doesn't make it odd. As for ballistic missiles, anything capable of shooting down a cruise missile and aircraft will shoot down a ballistic missile. π«£π«£ πAn iron dome system will comfortably shoot down any low flying aircraft and an a cruise missiles if it comes within it range, but won't be useful against certain types of ballistic missiles especially those with longer range. Air defence systems are develop to cater for certain types of threats, The US have the patriot systems to counter for short range ballistic missiles and flying crafts, but the THAAD system, just like the Israeli Arrow and the Chinese HQ-19 are designed to target long range ballistic missiles when they are in there terminal phase or re-entry phase. |

ISRAELβs Foreign Minister Gideon Saβar in a press conference with the Austrian Foreign Minister: "ISRAEL is serious in its intention to reach a hostage deal and a ceasefire in Gaza. We have repeatedly said 'yes' to the proposals of the American envoy Steve Witkoff. Unfortunately, to this moment, Hamas has not done so. It is now critical that Europe supports the American initiative for a ceasefire and shatters Hamas's illusions." On expanding the circle of peace and normalization, Saβar said: βWe have paid for the new reality in the Middle East with the blood of our soldiers and citizens. But this reality also creates opportunities. Israel is interested in expanding the circle of the Abraham Accords. We have an interest in including countries like Syria and Lebanon, our neighbors, in the circle of peace and normalization, while preserving our vital and security interests. Israel applied its laws to the Golan Heights more than 40 years ago, and in any peace agreement, the Golan will remain an inseparable part of the State of Israel."

Hoaxen:The AK47 was never intended to be a sniper by its manufacturer. Its accuracy range proves that. But the S-400 was made with ballistics interception + other tasks in mind. You are comparing apples and oranges. What the AI says remains an opinion. There is no proof that the thaad or arrow does a better job at intercepting ballistic missiles than the S400, but we know that it has a longer range, meaning it could stand a better chance of dealing with superfast missiles. |

Hoaxen:No need to compare these brochure figures. Just look at what the missile design is actually like. These are two very different missile types. Missile Type 1 THAAD, as far as I remember, is similar to Indian PDV missile. These have a Kinetic Kill Vehicle that has a DACS (Divert and Attitude Control System) and an Imaging Infra Red (IIR) sensor. This only works in the thin air of the Mesosphere and Thermosphere. It won't work in the thick air of the Stratosphere. These missiles are Hit To Kill (HTK) interceptors. They don't use explosive warheads triggered by a proximity fuze. Missile Type 2 S-400 has more of an endo atmospheric interceptor. It doesn't have a DACS equipped KKV with an IIR seeker. Its not hit to kill. It has a warhead that is triggered by a proximity fuze. S-400 is meant to intercept targets in the Troposphere and Stratosphere. Similar to Indian Akash NG and AAD missiles. Must have a Ku or Ka band radio frequency seeker, not an IIR seeker. I have no idea why these two completely different missiles are even being compared. In the Phase 1 of India's Ballistic Missile Defense system that has currently been deployed to protect Delhi and Mumbai, there are two missiles: Exo Atmospheric interceptor: DRDO PDV missile (THAAD type missile) Endo Atmospheric interceptor: DRDO AAD missile. (S-400 type missile) This is because both types of missiles are needed in a proper Ballistic Missile Defense System.

shoodboi2:Well said. I followed along with the 'multipurpose' term because the s400 works with different missile types fashioned for different specific air defense tasks unlike the other systems. |

shoodboi2:THAAD is inferior? Lmao. Read my reply to Hoaxen above. THAAD is meant to shoot down targets in the mesosphere and thermosphere. S400 is meant to take down targets in the Troposphere and Stratosphere. You are comparing apples and oranges and then concluding that apples are inferior. Stop with the weird calculator/ smartphone analogies and actually look at the technology both missile types use. S400 and THAAD are complementary systems, not competitors. |
