So funny how butthurt the bots are about a video regarding missiles from the 90's

Even the bots seem to employ the meat assault tactic here, there are hoards of them.

The Russian bots are out in force 😂

Ooof, the Russian bots aren't happy with this one 😂

The bots in here are working overtime.. the coping is hilarious 😂

The russian bots are going crazy on every video that puts russia in a negative light 😂😂😂

The more the air defenses are torn up the more effective the F16s will be. It’s preparation time.

At least the bots are useful for the algorithm 👍

There’s no such thing as a budget friendly missile defense system

This comment section is hillarious. Russians coping about their wunderwaffe not actually being as good as advertised. Everybody has been shitting their pants for years about these anti-air systems, and now they’re revealed to be: average. Much to the chagrin of the super patriots 😂

The Russian enthusiasts are really taking this topic personally

So many bots coping harddddd

I’m just here for the bots. 🍿

FIngers crossed! Damn! So many Russian bots in the comments! Never seen this many under Binkov's videos.

The Russian cope is strong in these comments.

You know the Russians are butthurt about something when the bots come out

The video is just icing, the comments from russian bots are the main cake

Most people have little understanding about Air Defence system and thus, easily fall for the hype of S-400 parroted by the bots. They fall for paper performance without realizing its real world implication. The S-400 became operational in 2007 and glorified for its 400 km engagement range - little do many realize that the SAM (40N6) with 380 km range didn’t become operational until very recently. They’re also unaware of the type of target(s) 40N6 is designed to engage. For nearly a decade, Russian outlets claimed 40N6 having Mach 14 speed with ‘anti-satellite’ capability - only when the missile went operational a year ago, the manufacturer’s data pointed a complete different reality - Mach 3.5 speed with smaller engagement altitude than PAC-3 MSE against ballistic missiles. And it’s designed specifically for non-maneuverable targets (AWACS, Bombers, UAVs, etc.) and not ideal for tactical Fighters. Against Fighter aircraft, S-400’s range actually shrink to a maximum of 200-250 km with 48N6E variants. This is not much different than the so-called "inferior" Patriot. For decades, outlets highlighted everytime Patriot failed, while ignoring its successes. In 4 years, Patriot in Saudi Arabia intercepted over 230 ballistic missiles - that’s more than 1 intercept every week. How many ballistic missiles or anything did S-400 intercept in last 15 years of service? Zero. People talk about Patriot’s failure in recent attack on Abqaiq oil refinery in Saudi Arabia, how it failed to intercept Iranian drones while overlooking S-400’s performance in Syria. The S-400 had been deployed in Russia’s Khmeimim air base in Syria since 2015 and that particular air base faced multiple drone attacks over last 3 years. There has been multiple failure to defend the air base against drone attacks, some resulting in Russian aircraft being damaged and personnel killed - yet the S-400 was never used to engage any UAVs despite repeated failure of point defence systems. These also highlighted serious flaws in Pantsir S1 - a system designed specifically to deal with such threats and Russian analysts reporting those flaws were forced to remove their posts. The US fielded PAC-3 with hit-to-kill warhead in 2000 as kinetic warheads are much more effective against hypersonic targets. Russia still relies on conventional fragmentation warhead and there’s no indication of it getting kinetic warhead anytime soon. At the same time people don’t look at Aegis platforms, which is the US equivalent of Strategic Air Defence system. The S-400’s pesa primary Search radar 91N6E is capable of detecting a 0.4 m2 ballistic target from 250 km. The Aegis’s now obsolete and non-AESA SPY-1D(v) reportedly “can track golf ball-sized targets at ranges in excess of 165 km.” Golf ball = 0.0025 m2. For a direct comparison, if you scale SPY-1D’s range to 0.4 m2, then it corresponds to 587 km - that’s more than twice the range of S-400 (91N6E). Unlike S-400’s overhyped 40N6, the SM-6 on Aegis with 260 km+ range can engage almost any endo-atmospheric target from sea-skimming cruise missiles, tactical aircraft to manoeuvrable ballistic missiles in their terminal stage. There’s nothing comparable to SM-3 in Russian service, the most tested exo-atmospheric interceptor with a range of 2,500 km. The Aegis BMD system have demonstrated its ability to engage targets over the horizon using targeting data coming from airborne platforms as part of Cooperative Engagement (NIFC-CA). SM-6 have engaged cruise missiles solely relying on targeting data from F-35 or E-2D. When was the last time you heard S-400 doing something like this?

How does Binkov put up with these comments?

Holy cope, the vatniks in the comments are going off the chain.

Excellent video, this is what I had been thinking as well with regards to how ATACMS was so effective against S-400, glad to see that my hunch matches the reality.

I just hate modern internet. I just can't know wheather comments are real people anymore

what the hell, theres so many bot comments, dead internet theory fr

The bot comments about bot comments are sure making the rounds. #BeepBoop

Russian equipment is garbage. The Ukrainian war has shown the quality of Russian equipment,troops, and intel. Garbage

THIS IS PROPAGANDA! Shouted Ivan not being able to hold back his tears.

Localized SEAD strategies shows that Ukraine is starting to modernize rapidly in terms of its approach to warfare.

"they started to have visible impact" Well, you can certainly say that!

The s in s400 stands for scrap

Shaping Operations.

s400 shit, sorry turkey ❤

The amount of bot comments is insane

Very interesting analysis ... especially when you explain why Crimea is more attacked. Keep going !

The bots have switched from Jew-bashing to Putin-boosting this week.

Always appreciated Binkov's truly neutral and factual approach to video's and info.

Russia removed 105 systems from airfields that are out of range from ukraien leaving them completly undefended . (proven satelite image see last perun release fr details) apprently rumored that they lost higher number latest 5 month that russia say.

Why Crimea is not connected to Russia? Because it does not belong to Russia. Too many rich Russians are just loungering around Crimea, because of vacations.

I think general the average person does not understand in war you have to expect losses in order to make gains. It is a matter of choosing how and when those losses vs gains will pay off in the long term that matters. Some comments appear as they expect one side or the other to never lose any assets and that is just not reality.

Very well-researched documentary. Especially the details on the Russian S-300 and S-400 missiles used are fascinating.

Wild to see all the Russian bots whinging in the comments 😂 shows that this is working

Once these are gone..F16 will rule the skies..

The US only had 700-800 ATACMs because we haven’t been buying them for a while. The weapon that replaced the ATACMs has already arrived and is filling Army inventories as we speak. The PRSM or Precision Strike Missile. It is quite a bit more advanced than ATACMs and has a range of at least 310 miles but probably upwards of 550 miles the exact range is classified. And it can hit moving targets on land or sea. It was test fired against a decommissioned warship traveling at 20 knots and scored a direct hit. The CEP Circle area of probability is 1 meter. So draw a circle on the target 1 meter in diameter and the weapon will hit inside that circle. It’s incredibly accurate. ATACMs is at bad either it’s CEP is 3 meters especially the latest ones. But about the ATACMs we will probably wind up giving Ukraine about 80% of ours we will give them more as the PRSM is delivered or the Prism missile for short. It is a smaller missile too with the same size warhead so one HIMARS launcher can hold 2 Prisms as opposed to 1 ATACMs. But the US is not the only country that has ATACMs and I believe there is still a production line for them gone in the United States as it’s sold to allies. South Korea has a lot of them and they will probably give Ukraine some of them and some European Coumtries have it too I don’t know which ones off the top Of my head.

I think this video lacks the difference between S-300V and S-300P. S-400 is basically an upgraded S-300P, while S-300V was optimized against ballistic missiles.

Thing about the strike vid is the S-400 didnt start firing until juat before impact and only got off three, maybe four missiles, like they disnt realize they were under attack until it was way too late.

Thanks for covering this. As usual, you're coverage seems very fair. It is a shame some of the commenters don't seem to have listened to it.

Fair and neutral analysis. Good work as always Binkov

and russia still claims that s-400 can hit stealth jets lmao

The S400 system was approved for service in 2007. The ATACMS missile was first used in combat in 1991. Wasn’t the S400 supposed to shoot down missiles like ATACMS?

Destroying air defence systems before F16 aircraft arrive in Ukraine

Fabulous info. Well done chap!

Very interesting and informative. These are some seriously nerd details, love it

Are the s 400 system as good as they are said to be ..or are they only highly hyped systems...

Ahhh your info is so wrong, almost like you didn't bother to research this story one bit, the U.S. isn't restarting production of the atacms, atacms is a much older weapon developed decades ago, the U.S. was waiting for the new PrSM missile to go into full scale production, and since the U.S. armed forces got their first batch of PrSM missiles in December 2023, they started to replace the atacms and send them to Ukraine.

Let's all have a laugh at all the bots and orc lovers making comments.

The s-systems can't find Storm Shadow either

Thanks Binkov, hope you are staying well and keeping any seasonal ailments at bay. Appreciate the time and effort you put into this video even though sometimes my bias makes me want to grumble and disagree with your statements. Keep it up.

Most Western air Defense platforms are turn-key 🔑operational. Meaning that very little user input is required for them to function after they are set up. Russian platforms rely on operators to correlate tracks which introduces errors & requires skilled radar operators which can be difficult to train/find.

The comments are spicy as always. People treat this like a football match. Shame on them.

Binkov... you try and use the excuse that the S-400's fell victim to saturation attacks... yet the rare footage we do have shows secondary explosions of missiles, this shows tje system wasn't overwhelmed with targets... it just didn't respond to the attack. Isn't it more likely that the S-400 is just like other russian weapons? Over hyped and not capable of doing the job they say it is?

“CCTV protects you but what protects the CCTV”- ah moment

Bots, typing c300/c400 is a like a neon sign pointing towards your botness 😂

TLDW: Because the S400 is drunk.

God the Russ bots are swarming this vid with misinformation

Great video. Very informative.

Up till now all the hype about Russian weapons is all that it's been hype.

Russian disinfo bravery trying to hold back reality, but laughing emojis can do so much.

Capturing ATACMS instead of the new PRSMS missile is like N. Korea capturing a Rolls Royce and thinking that now they can duplicate it. 😄

It would appear RU has a bottleneck in Active Radar missile production both SAM and AA, as the "AMRAAM-SKI" (R-77) is equally rare being observed in Russian service.

got my plushie 😁😁😁😁

No matter what happens, Russia has lost. Demographics and the increased strength of NATO is not what they expected.

i think its hilarious that aemrica has done barly anything milatary wise and russa is doing everything and getting barely no where. (OMG THE BOTS!) america has spend 180 to 240 billion in two years to its 24 trillion a year gdp to help ukraine, and ukraine has be able to do so well becuse of america, america is basically using less then 1% of it gdp and russia cant even compete with that, like using a finger in a arm wrestle xD

time index 1:00 .. russia got more access to atacms .. shouldn't that be Ukraine?

Why did an Attacms hit an s-400, dumb question better question how come s-400's can't defend themselves from missiles?

I was under the impression that there was a considerable stockpile of cluster armed atacms that had been due for scrapping but were still usable.

Title says why is Ukraine attacking SAM sites. Surely that is obvious

1) The assumption that any F16's will "30 or 40 year old technology" assumes the planes have not gone through the myriad of upgrade programs the F16 has had available since its inception. 2) Any F16's a S400(or the single in existence S500) ever tracks may be operating in Wild Weasel tactics e.g. draw out out the targeting radar signal to send a HARM straight down the signal back to its hosts. 3) Additionally the range difference of the different bands of radar used by the S400 requires to function also comes into play.

Excellent info

Ballistic missiles -- from Hitler's V-2 to ATACMS -- are very hard to shoot down. They fly faster (even the V-2 was supersonic), but don't carry as much explosives, as the slower cruise missiles.

It had been reported thatt S-400 batteries scheduled for overrseas delivery... have been delayed, sine die.

If you really want to know why ruspig tech is failing--buy ruspig-made car. You'll get all the answers you need.

Isn't the US Army shifting away from ATACM to the newer PrSM, Precision Strike Munition? That was suppose to replace ATACMS with a 500 Km range too? Is that not correct?

I'm Dutch. Small country. Yet we could maintain an empire on various continents for centuries. Russia under putin cant take a capital city miles away.

Good video. 👍 Russias 3 day special operation still going on? Problem?

This was your absolute best video and anime

To answer your question: why can't they defend against Atacms? Because they are Russian S400.

Consequences of not supporting Ukraine in defending territories: China will not respect Taiwan because the US is not respecting and supporting its ally! The US, France, the UK, China, and russia signed Budapest Agreement on December 5th,1994. The agreement was to support Ukraine's integrity against any aggressor.

3 day war😂

Hope to see the Patriot video coming soon.

I only come here to read all the salty vatnik bot posts.

They were hitting those sam sites in preparation for a counter-invasion of Russia.

The decoy missiles were used as well I think

Countries that bought these rubbish anti-aircraft systems

See the launch at ~@5:21 ? The launcher has a decoy plate on the front of the launcher to help confuse the enemy if it was being observed. Its hiding its capability by looking like it has a set of smaller GMLR missiles, but breaks away at launch like "haha just kidding im launching at something 300km away instead."

To all the Russian bots, it's S400

S400 fan boys: 😳😰😭

He said the RU line that globalhawks flew near Crimea to see damage from the strike as if globalhawks don't fly by it constantly and have for the whole war

Thank You

Atacms has probably a much higher range. Don’t forget accurate information is censored.

Oh good now Russia will know what America was making in 1980!😏
