“Unless, of course, NATO counters the S-400 system with networked stealth aircraft. The presence of stealth aircraft can be detected, but missiles can’t lock onto them.”
Wasn’t aware that we tested our stealth aircraft against the S-400. Might you have a link so that I can read up on it?
Israel flew F-35s all over S-400 covered territory in Syria.
I don’t have any links. From what I read, detection of stealth aircraft is achievable, but locking on with missile guidance is not — they use two different systems with different frequencies for those two activities.
I also read that the U.S. was able to acquire an S-400 battery to study.
