Why would China, India and Turkey by a Toyota land cruiser when they could buy a Lada? India has got to wonder how useful their billion dollar S-400 batteries will be against Chinese or Pakistani attacks using missiles as primitive as Atacms. I get why they don't want to be dependent on US arms, but it seems like they would be better served by an IRIS/Patriot system as in the EU's Sky Shield system. I just don't see how India would ever do it so long as the US is dependent on Pakistan to achieve other US goals. OTOH- they bought S-400 from Russia who is also selling to their nemesis China. That chummy relationship between XI and Putin has to give them pause. It would be interesting to know how many, if any atacms missiles were intercepted.

Using some geometry and propellers instead of jet propulsion, you can fly towards a radar with a low enough closure rate that it gets rejected by Doppler filtering. Basically fly towards a radar, you're moving fast and get flagged as an aircraft. Zig zag your way in, and your closure rate makes your speed appear slow like a bird and you get filtered out.

Meanwhile, a $500 Ukrainian drone hovers above taking video of all the multimillion dollar anti-everything stuff.

[@SwarmerBees]

Agreed. People are focused on the s-400 failure, but the key failure is the Russian inability to prevent being surveilled. As with the loss of the patriot launch vehicle in march, the key advantage is that there was a drone present to identify the target. Looking at this video, the drone operator is relentlessly keeping the S-400 control vehicle in its cross hairs, which is a little confusing because AFAiK there is no laser designation option for Atacms. It is GPS/ inertial guidance only. So why the heck is going on here- is there some way of providing updated position information to the inflight atacms system? Seems a little far fetched that these old missiles could have been upgraded in time..... Uhm unless that is the real explanation for the atacms and f-16 delays. Who knows.

[@bigolboomerbelly4348]

A friendly reminder to any botskis here. These ATACMS are the oldest in existence to the point of being post expiration. Not only are these individual missiles essentially considered defunct but even the ATACMS as a design are as well as they are to be replaced by PRSMS which are abundantly more capable. So unless they invest in trebuchets this is as low tech as they get and it is absolutely utterly undoubtedly stomping your very best air defense. What I would give to see your alleged air defense face true shock and awe only to allow a dozen or so of old B52s rumble over your heads 1950s style. The song when the man comes to town, comes to mind.

A 21 Round Volley from Katyusha's can destroy an Iron Dome, S-400, or Patriot. That's called, "Overwhelming s system," in which you fire as many projectiles as the enemy has interceptors, +1 extra to destroy the launcher. It's weird all of you experts don't recognize that's what's going on in the footage. S-400 wouldn't be getting deployed if it had a 100% failure rate, because the S-300 is cheaper, and easier to mass produce. Reminds me of the videos where Jihadists fire hundreds of missiles at US Drones only to accidentally knock one out of the sky, but they release footage saying, "1 missile took down US Drone." Technically the truth, is the best kind of Propaganda.
