The analysis provides a sound technical demystification of radar physics, effectively puncturing the hype surrounding the S-400's invincibility. However, its objective insights are clearly framed to serve a specific geopolitical narrative rather than neutral military science.

How S-400 Missile System Failed to Defend India? | Destruction of Indian Air Defence SystemAdded:
Bismillah, Rahma Rahim, Assalam Walekum, Scholar, Ali Hamza, Retired Insight, I have properly introduced myself that I am a retired pilot from the Pakistan Air Force, so anyway, it was on the lighter note topic.
People ask how the destruction of our S400 was done.
Now, if there are any classified tactics in it, then obviously I will not ask anyone, no one will tell me. Even if they call me operational security on the phone, they will not ask me. And the analysis that I will do as to how it was killed, I will study as much technical and academic things as I could because I am not an engineer. So, the formula that I have in this is that your radar horizon is one, your normal horizon, you are looking at it, where the ground and sky appear to meet, the curvature of the earth, so the horizon of a radar is more than that because you put the antenna of the radar on top, okay? The line of sight increases and then the electromagnetic waves of the radar dip a little like this. So roughly the rule of thumb is 15%, that is called radar horizon, that is more than the factor. What happens more than this is your visual line of side. Ok? Well then as I said, the formula and everything related to this, because I am an engineer, so any person, whether he is from Pakistan, or from India, or from the world. If he wants to do something within a formula, then it is fine. As for trolling etc., I say don't bother.
Still people come and spend their time. So I said, anyhow, according to the calculations I have done, this claim is 600 km. The detection range of S400 is 400 km. Engagement range. Ok? There are many loopholes in it. Ok? I'll tell you why. The Russians have created this because the Indians have only induced it. You can definitely go and ask them about their force etc. Translate Russian to English. The Chinese have kept it at 400. Then they made H, HQ 16 and now they have also made HQ 19, so obviously it means that their engineers are also working on it.
So that is a very simple formula.
Ok? In that you actually have two things substituting, one is what is the height of the antenna and second is what is the height of the target? Ok? When we look at the antenna of S400, it has Big Bird radar which has a range of 600 km. Or its tracking radars are cheese board and grave stone and clum shell and they have their own 9M96 and like this there are some different nomenclatures. Neither have I memorized it nor is there any special benefit to it. So the actual point I want to tell you is that it will have an antenna of approximately three to four meters.
Then you put it on the mask and enlarge the pillar, so it is said that it can go up to 20 to 40 meters, so we should keep the mask high because you have to give the worst option to the enemy, so if it is 20 to 40, then you should keep 40 meters, now the antenna of 40 meters is fine, along with it, now if I write here that 40 meters is the height of the antenna. Now the height of the target, let's say the GF 17 which hit it, should we keep its height around 30000 feet, 25 to 30000 feet, okay because you say that it went at low level, that is it went at very low level, so I say that if it went at low level then many radars cannot see it, but we keep it at a medium level, let's make it 25000 feet, so above 25000 feet is the GF 17.
Ok. Well, there is another thing in RCS, now you have an article in it which is very interesting. I will come to this later also. This is an Indian article and it says why the S400 missile system is a game changer for the Indian Armed Forces. It is written that the lady is Mausami Sharma and she has given a lot of praise in it. The issue is that as I said, he has done it himself. You can see this by going to the article.
This is some SSB crack exam site, in which they have told that the range of S400 is basically 150 km. For stealth. Ok? Which is not good. Well, here they have claimed that the RCS of which you can say is approximately 01, if they have kept it or written it as 1st, then I do not know now, it means that it is less than 257, but that of F35 is even less than that, so we will approximately calculate it from 1st, above 1st it is 150 km and 4 meter square which is generally, well now less than that is 3 meter square, but for 1st they have written that above 4 meter square its detection range is 390 km, so first of all this is the detection range of Janabe Ali, if I put it in the formula that I have kept it above 40 meter which is the height of the antenna and above 25000 feet and its RCS is 4 meter square, so the one of 400 600 gets multiplied by zero right there. It is important for him that what he has written is up to 600 km. Up to means that it can be less than 600 and should be up to 400 and more than 10 meter square RCS.
For this RCS of more than 10 meter square, you need some airborne high value airborne acid HVAA, whether it is a refueller, whether it is AWACS, or any big 747 type aircraft, the way America has converted its sniffers, they are radioactive etc. etc., these are the types of aircraft.
Ok? So its RCS should be more than 10 meter square.
And its height that should be above is approximately ah which is 10,000 meters, this 33,000 feet should be 20,000 meters i.e. 66,000 feet. So its height will be around 7,000 above 65,000. If its RCS is more than 10 meters square and the antenna is installed above 40 meters then it will cover 600 km.
Will detect up to 400 km. Can do engagement. So first of all you have to put the fork here because GF7 is more than 10 meters square, above 66,000 feet and a non-maneuvering target. Ok? Okay, we have done it at 40 meters and they will install it. You can do it even for Rs 50.
Increase it by 10 meters. He erected that pillar somewhere higher. Ok? Now they cannot put 100 meters or 200 meters on Mount Everest. I mean, some things have to be kept realistic too. So do the calculation yourself. You can make the antenna height as high as you want.
Ok? And let me tell you that this is 600 km. And if 400 can be for fighter size targets, then a J17 coming from 25 to 3000 feet can be hit from 600 km. Cannot detect pay. Ca n't do it even for Rs 400.
He has written in his own article that it is 390 for 4 meter square. If I put more in it, it also has an under root of four. There are some formulas of radar, I will not bore you much with technical things because yesterday also I was in the Twitter space in which X asked a question and when I answered, he said friend you have started teaching. You are boring me.
I said brother, then don't ask questions, friend, I mean the answer I have to give is this formula, under root of 4, if the target of 10 meter square RCS is caught at 600 kilometers, then if I reduce it, then by what will I do it, under root of 4, so let's put 3 meter square, then by under 4, 3, okay, divide by 10 and it will come to approximately 74, I will do that, what is the complete name of this, if you ask, then I will tell you the formula later. I don't know whether people are interested in this or not. And the radius of the Earth is also there, right? That seems to be your three quarters and you apply the formula in it and the calculation of radar horizon that I did, one is your horizon, visual of the fuze which you can see the ground and sky meeting and the other is the line of sight of the radar and in that it is 15% more than the visual because firstly you raise the antenna and secondly the radar emitting waves dip a little after the line of sight, so it increases by 15% with a factor of so I think if we study more about radar theory then let us leave it, there is a very interesting thing in this, in this very article itself after telling that for a 4 meter square object the detection range of this S400 is 390 kilometers, okay now they have made an infograph here, I am sure it must have been made with AI, it is a very interesting type of firing on all fronts, number one, there was a terror attack on Delhi in 2021, they have created this entire scenario by Heavily armed LeT terrorists seize IF launch drones strike to destroy LeT headquarters in Muzaffarabad Pakistan Occupied Kashmir okay we call it Azad Kashmir this is called PoK intelligence indicates PF planning retaliatory air strikes by aircraft launching missiles without crossing the Line of Control IS Western Air Command places all its S 400 units on high state of alert oh my god the scene from the Bollywood movie has turned out to be excellent and here they have made two guys whom they have caught so if we can put them inside it later then it will be ok? Otherwise, you can go to this article and see for yourself. Number two is the second one, in which two F16 jets armed with Ratna cruise missiles take off from Chaklala Airbase. First of all, those Indians who know whether there are F16s in Chaklala Airbase or not because I know very well where the Rafale is and as the Chief of the Staff had just told me, the Rafale came from Hashimara, first went to Ambala, from Ambala to Gwalior and when they were playing hide and seek, we were watching them. So I think that in the Indian Air Force also I would say the same thing that at least at the tactical level, the wing commanders who are the squadron leaders are professionals. So tell me where is 16. Moreover, if his senior bows down before Modi ji, then it is a half story of his unprofessionalism. But that is not our topic. But the point was that Chakla does not have F6. But anyway, if we have to make a movie then can cruise missiles also be fitted on F16 or not, should I ask this to Mausami Sharma Sahiba, well what should I say, now let us come back to this, what more should I fit in them, number three S400 Big Bird radar, okay Big Bird slash Tuenstone acquisition and target management radar in Jammu, 200 km away, picks up jets and monitors, flight path, flight profile, suggests they are gaining altitude to launch cruise missiles, what a thing.
What is the matter. ok sir. Good. Where did number four go? Number four. Yes. F16 launch cruise missiles and turn back to base. ok sir.
Number five. 3D radar tracks the low-flying cruise missiles. ok sir. Number six. The air defense unit commander orders the fire control officers to engage the targets.
Number seven two NM96E missiles launched intercept the low flying cruise missiles in mid flight near Srinagar Air Force Base number eight 24896 long range missiles shoot down both F16s before they can land oh my god now down below we go a little bit over what I said big bird two stone action target management radar range 600 km fully digital can track 300 targets simultaneously. Ok?
F1600 km But we have already talked about it earlier that the one with 4 meter square cannot be the same.
Good 92 N6 Grave Stone Multi Mode Engagement Radar Can Track 100 Targets.
Okay, well, now let's go, it's been thrown around a lot.
So now I am going to conclude this also. Cheese board 3D acquisition radar and while doing this now the launchers have max range 400 km. Max Altitude up to 30 km System on Missiles 48 Max Target Speed ββ48 100 metres per second Deployment Time 5 to 10 minutes.
Four missiles of different types NM96 E has a range of 120 km. Then, as we proceed further, the one with 40 and 6 is 400 km.
Now let me just tell you that I have done the entire calculations and told you everything inside this and if you can see it inside this again. Ok? This I again later if we can put it in while editing it. Otherwise, my request to you would be that if you want to read it yourself then go inside and read that brother, this world is round. There is an antenna on top of it.
Ok? Now with that antenna you have radar line of sight and when you apply the formula of radar horizon, then the missiles that come out of it, you can target F16 at a range of 600 km. Cannot track pay.
My missiles, Raad, Taimur, Babar, whatever they are, their ranges now are 600 km. Taimur has just been born in front of you. Ok? Air launched cruise missile fighter size, whatever it is, there is F16, GF7, Meraj. The RCS of a fighter size target cannot exceed 10 meters square. I told you this before.
Then I have the rest of the calculations as well, as I told you, these are all simple, meaning it is a formula of physics. You put things in it. You Google it yourself.
Ok? Calculating Radar Horizon, okay, of S400, it will give you a calculator, there are two-three things in it, which you were not able to understand, then you should not worry about what is this, what is this, what is this, you just have to give these two things in it, one antenna height, you can give 10 meter, 20 meter, 40 meter, 50 meter, whatever, more than that, I said possible, I mean, now they have installed it in Adampur, so where will they install it, they will install it on top of the mountain, I mean, where will they take it, so that is why I had talked about this in general earlier also in the R37M video that it depends on the AEWS.
Avex is flying above you.
That 400 km. Guides up to within radar line of sight. So, for that, the radar on the ground is 600 km with a height of 40-50 meters. See, that physics is not possible but physics itself is not possible. Unless like I said I am covering the target slow moving more than 10 meter square RCS above 70,000 feet. So if I take my JF7 to 70,000 feet for you and increase its RCS, then it means some common sense. Now, what I thought about in this, actually this article was so good, I felt that I went inside it.
How have we killed the G S400?
Alhamdulillah, the pilots of GF7 are very very professional and if I can do this calculation even after retirement, then their job is to know your enemy. Ok? Those who have to create the flight profile, have to find out through intelligence where the exact coordinates are right now. After doing all these calculations, he said that yes, it is a very risky mission. We have to go inside his bubble. If Indians have intelligence, they can also track us with Awake and fire missiles from above.
Everything. Ok? Alhamdulillah, we have seen the IQ of Indians, but not to take anything away from the PF pilots, they took all these risks and made the best flight profile that this is the red line of sight, so if I am at 20,000, then this is its range, so till here it cannot see me.
Ok? After that if I go here then this will happen. Then if I have to do the final climb, then in that I have 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds from the lets because that also means how much time? If it takes 50 seconds, it will definitely take 1 minute.
Ok? Even if he has tracked you at the end time and at that time you have only fired CM for a kg and you are descending again and turning back. I challenge any SAM system in the world that within these two seconds, it locked it, fired the missile and that missile reached there within two seconds above Mark 50, Mark 70, Mark 80. Ok? And within two seconds or three seconds, you can execute defensive maneuvers, those who have played DCS, that you immediately turn away and you change the altitude and go to a low level and that missile cannot catch you and for Indians, it is the same thing again, get educated, after taunting us about Sundar Pichai, their Air Chief Marshal Dhanoa is saying in 2019 that look, F16 was visible on the radar and suddenly its blip disappeared. Ok? He had cranked it, friend Sir Numan Ali Khan had hit Abhinandan and he went to low level and brought it back in this way, that F16 was not destroyed, this crank maneuver is normal for every fighter pilot, you must also be doing it, but the issue is that you have to lie in front of the media, otherwise if you consider your God to be present or if the Muslims in their Air Force consider Allah to be present and tell that when you are doing a BVR fight, then these things which are coming face to face, you made a dip, made a decision action point, turned 60Β°, 45, 35, whatever it means, according to your radar, you cornered him.
You have to reduce your rate of closure so that if you go straight then he will also get it. Okay, this is coming straight. So you have to conserve it and maintain your distance.
After that, if you have to guide him, then you keep guiding him. As soon as he is active, Pitbull goes. Ok? Turns on his seeker. Now you immediately descended 180, you went back. Got cold. You conserved your range.
If it becomes a hit then well and good. If it does n't happen then you become hot again.
So I am saying this again that the technical level officers of the Indian Air Force are also flying Rafale, they are flying 230. So they might know this but because as I said, there is so much pressure on them from above and when there is safanisation and political pressure then it eats away your professionalism. So, whatever they might have tried to do, Alhamdulillah, the professionalism of our pilots was much better than theirs. Ok? There is no doubt. No amount of thanks can be enough for Allah. And I am telling you this again that by applying this calculation and formula and completing it, you can generate a flight profile that brother, this is the best profile against S400. S400 is a very good air defense system. But the same thing that Sir Aurangzeb said that if employed well like Rafale.
If you don't know how to employ it and you are just chest thumping.
600 km 400 km They won't let it fly.
That video of Abhijit Ayer Mitra, he took out two fingers like this. It S400 is really a very good system that they will take off from Sargodha and you will kill them. Meaning, it is very easy to hit with one finger.
But if the plane has to be shot down with SAM then it will be a little difficult as it has taken off from the runway of Sargodha. It is at 1000 feet, 2000 feet, 3000 feet, 10,000 feet. Ok? Let the angels of S400 also pick it up and show it. I will agree with Abhijeet Iyer friend sir. So friend, it is not like that you opened the compass and looked at 400 km. And a circle was made around it so that whoever comes inside it, even at a low level at 50 feet, will get burnt automatically. I mean, it's not magic, right?
So these are some physics formulas, my friend. There is curvature of meaning. There is radar line of sight. Distance from the target Height of the target Speed ββof the target Aspect angle He is coming towards you. He is going away from you.
Interceptor fire is to be fired.
Tracking radar engagement radar then the anti radiation missile CM 400 AKG which I have hit. Whichever side I hit him from, be it 2530 or 300, I am telling you that he cannot see you. 400 km Up to 350. After that, the CM 400 kg also has a range of like 350 to 400 km. And then it lofts up to 1.5 lakh feet and from there it comes down at hypersonic speed. Ok? There is hypersonic 4.5 to 5.5 depending upon its speed, 4.56 and five 5.1, that hypersonic will come and give you the exact pin point on the same radiation because there is no issue of coordinates, GPS, satellite, there is an emission of radiation. Ok? So, Americans, these Wild Wigs, they do seed deed suppression of enemy defence, destruction of enemy defence, they say emit and die, your radar has emitted, it is shining, that missile has no tension, it has to home in on the source from where the rays are coming and it has to go and hit it exactly, okay and after the battery of S400, Prime Minister Modi will be standing in front of its missile launchers in Adampur and will say look at this and those missile tubes, I mean we will pick them up and throw them on Pakistan because without radar the battery cannot work. So GF7 Alhamdulillah Pakistan and China's joint weapon CM 400 A KG again Chinese weapon professionalism of our pilots by calculation excellent tremendous very I am saying again very difficult mission but you executed it professionally with extraordinary preparation, with profession and Alhamdulillah you one, you did it yours, the result is like I said no matter how much I thank Allah it is less, now the thing which needs to be understood in this is that if I google the same thing that 600 km.
And 400 km. So it is okay but in whatever I have said, if I have applied any formula of my own with intellectual dishonesty then please tell me that because in the end I am concluding this that I challenge that whatever is there in Pakistan Air Force, I have not even talked about stay till now. We haven't even gone to J35 yet.
I'm just doing what I have so far and J10C because it's still an air to air roll. And I don't have the F16 because its harm is high speed anti radiation visor, so at most I have JF7 in CID ad role, okay, I am challenging JF7, Block 2 was used, by the way Block 3 also did not have the active visor size, well right now we are talking about RCS, GF7 can track S400 at 600 km, okay at 25 to 30000 feet medium altitude, this is my challenge, you can track me from my formulas, I have also studied so much physics.
I'm not an engineer like I said. Please show me this calculation. So Insha Allah I will be very grateful to you.
Otherwise, I just think that they should stop beating the drum that we are getting more S400 and it has already arrived. So now let's see what will happen to Pakistan next time in Operation Far From Home 2.0. Because I generally try not to be emotional and that's it. But how much should I listen to such meaningless nonsense that I mean your Gaurav Arya and Arnabh Goswami and when forced some reel or the other comes from somewhere that blow it up, destroy it and do this and climb over Lahore Port and that army entered inside India, we are also humans, we get a little angry, so if some calculation has to be done then it is fine, otherwise please do not scare me with S400, I know exactly that Alhamdulillah Pakistan Air Force has the solution to S400, they have shown it and Insha Allah they will show it in future also. So, okay, let's end this video here.
Thank you very much to all of you. Take care of yourself.
Allah Hafiz. Long live Pakistan.
