Flight of Ukrainian SCALP missiles over the S-300 air defense system, review of the situation
Footage of the flight of two Ukrainian Storm Shadow or SCALP missiles of British-French production has been published. Above the Russian S-300 or S-400 air defense system in Crimea. The missiles were allegedly flying towards the Belbek airfield. Anticipating future cries of how bad everything is with air defense, let's take a brief overview of this situation. Let's start with the fact that from the video it is not at all clear to what degree of readiness the air defense system was. Soldiers are visible walking, an operator looks out from one car, and from another, soldiers got out and are standing next to the car. The flight of two missiles in this situation is quite possible. The fact is that the S-300 or S-400 air defense system should be equipped with a 40V6MD or 40V6MD mobile tower, with a 76N6 low-altitude detector designed to detect low-flying targets, but they are not in the video. Ideally, for better detection of low-flying targets, the S-400 air defense system should receive data from AWACS aircraft or balloons. Without these systems, the complex may simply not see low-flying targets. It is also worth noting that the S-400 air defense system should be covered by the Pantsir-S1 air defense system or the Tor-M2 air defense system, which are more effective against low-flying targets.
