The thing about these systems, and what most people don't understand, is that they are NOT a silver bullet. By themselves, they cannot do much. They are a part of a layered defense approach, where you have multiple layers, both on the ground and in the air, and, if those systems are used correctly, they are very capable. But if they are not, they will be quickly neutralized. For example, if you have one battery of the S-300, and if it's always on the same location, it can, and WILL, be neutralized.

We know for sure AA is effective against civilian airliners. Tested in real life conditions :(

If a missile is following them at that moment, they sometimes accidentally hit the civilian airplanes. What Israeli airplanes do is basically using civilians and children as live shield.

One thing I miss in this video is the role of anti-radiation systems (which lock on to radar radiation), like the old F-4E, which saw action in Iraq (and was pretty effective). Probably the most important factor why Syrian S-300's didn't engage Israeli AF FWIW I was a FIM-92 Stinger Operator, attached to a H.A.W.K. squadron, which was attached to a Patriot system (we had a 3 tier AA setup) in the 90's. This was in the Dutch Airforce. We just phased out the ancient 40L70 Bofors "Fly-Catcher". I stopped following development of the latest generation of Aircraft and what kind of equipment they carry. I remember CH 47's having a detection system. And the AH-64 used a system called PANDORA. No idea what type the Soviets have/had (they must have, because of what happened in Afghanistan, with the 1st gen Stingers) What I was taught was that not many planes have a system like that, to save weight and prevent aerodynamic issues. Anyway.

The S-300 was used last year in the Nagorno-Karabakh war, actually. It successfully took out some drones, but in turn was taken out by loitering munitions.

6:48 the article is not about "S-300 in Syria". It is actually about Pantsyr in Syria.

1:50 it turned out that the Patriot battery guarding the oil facilities was on maintenance that's why none of the missiles or drones were intercepted, but as a Saudi I can tell you that the Patriot proved it self as a very capable system out of 300 ballistic missiles and 300 suicide drones only a handful weren't intercepted and shot down apart from the oil facility attack. Ballistic missiles and drones always attack my city and I can't remember the last one that wasn't intercepted.

@@KevinWilliams19723 If I may correct you on this. Stealth technology is designed to be most effective against the most common, cm wavelength (X-K band) radars. The early warning radars used by (among others) the S-125 used metre wavelength radar (UHF). With those a stealth plane is "visible", but it cannot provide accurate information, what the target is or if it is one target or several in close formation, only that "something is there". That is enough to engage the target once it gets within missile range, with a low chance-to-hit of course. Cm wavelength targeting radars can still see the stealth target, but only from a relatively short distance, say 20 kilometres instead of 80. At the time of the incident I served in an air defence regiment next door (11th Duna Combined Home Air Defence Regiment, Hungary) that operated both S-125 and S-75 systems.

SAMs are big and heavy to hit a figter jet. But they can make pilots change their path or even cancel their mission. Shorter range SAMs get the kills

5:50 it should be noted that fighters in the high-end role are much the same way. It is one thing to engage in ground attack (precision or otherwise), but such operations hardly validate them as 'tested in combat' when their design origins call for them facing peer level threats. For example no 5G fighter (F-22, F-35, J-20, etc) has been tested in combat against another air threat, at least on peer level. This said air defences do have their own cons aside, which you pointed out in your video.

@@rusher2937 all true and it is definitely easier to test aircraft as opposed to air defence, but even things such as Red Flag aren't a full substitute. It may not be the aircraft but rather the sensors and weapons on board, just as in an air defence battery. The battery and fighter alike may prove flawless in training - but the reliability of the actual weapon or sensor against a real target (with tailored techniques, technologies and tactics) may prove inadequate when compared to a simulated system or hardware tests against target drones. Perhaps in a decade or so we may see targeting drones replicate actual maneuvres and techniques employed by human piloted fighters. Having an F-16V conduct complex procedures could help improve the hardware of both air defence batteries and air warfsre fighters alike.

​@@ArisenfromDogma Afaik in red flag sensors are used to their full extent, probably even jamming. Weapons can't for safety reasons, but are also constantly tested in other training areas. Of course nothing is 100% reliable, but in the past years electronics have become increasingly cheap to manufacture and reliable in both the civilian and military domain. Based on what I heard from real pilots, the F135 engine (which is fully automated) is incredibly reliable by today's standards. I agree that no training is a complete substitute for real combat, enemy tactics might be unpredictable, and testing of niche tech is often not done to the extend that real combat will, for economic reasons. However, I don't see how modern targeting drones like QF-4s or QF-16s wouldn't already be able to perform complex maneuvers. I guess the main reason that small prop-driven drones are often seen in videos is that in those situations the main scope is training the operators in their procedures at low cost, not hard-test the limits of the system. Maneuvering QF-4s have already been used when testing stuff like the AIM-9X, it only makes sense that they and similar platforms are also used to test a variety of other air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles and attached systems.

@@rusher2937 again all good points (and it is QF-16 as you said, not F-16V). "and testing of niche tech is often not done to the extend that real combat will, for economic reasons." Knocked it on the head there. Whilst it is different depending on the system being tested, ensuring great reliability of a system requires continuous and robust testing. For economic reasons (among others), this is not always feasible and a factor in the design of both air defences and fighter/fighter mounts. There are potentially also commercial reasons - companies lobby hard to ensure their interests (such as perceived product reliability) are ensured. The M16 and M2 Bradley, prior to Pentagon acquisition reforms, are good examples. This is not to say the risk has disappeared however and it is not something limited to just the West. With regards to complex targeting drones, complex manoeuvres are only one part of the problem. Nothing occurs in a vacuum - targeting drones should be able to manoeuvre with regards to everything else in the battlespace. If the West is training for multi-domain operations, then targeting drones (including other systems replicating their own unmanned systems) need to be able to work with integrated air defence networks in a coordinated manner, or in a manner exploiting the complexity of the ground for low-level operations (for strike, interdiction or anything else). Training systems such as drones will become more advanced, particularly as AI and other software becomes more advanced and robust. This may even alleviate the limitations placed on testing large quantities of air defence and fighter systems. But at the end of the day no one can predict how war (tactical and close through strategic) will play out once it all goes hot. This isn't unique to aircraft or air defence - but the cost of preparing for real business remains a barrier to good business.

Love your content and really intrigued to who Eric is 🤷‍♀️

9:02 not just the Sheffield. USS Stark. That Israeli ship got hit by Hezbollah. Saudi LCS got hit off of Yemen. What about Patriots shooting down allied planes in the gulf war? Things just work badly when not on full alert and run by veterans. Destroyer colliding with tankers comes to mind. But then when really focused, Serbians can hit a stealth plane.

It doesn't help movies and video games make SAM defense appear like a wall of doom that instantly melts any flying objects that gets into maximum range. The easiest argument against SAM is that most of the energy (propellant) in a SAM is wasted on fighting gravity and aerodynamic drag while climbing through lower atmosphere. The tyranny of the rocket equation is very punishing. A fighter plane carrying AAMs will always be more effective because the plane does most of the heavy-lifting using a more efficient air-breathing engine. The real deterrence is potential loss of well trained pilots since planes are replaceable, pilots are not. Today's aircraft are so complicated that personnel training will be the bottleneck in a real war not industrial capacity. This is why drones are such a game changer in future air combat. It just turns it into a game of who has more money to throw at the enemy. To counter drones, strategic air defense systems would evolve into slow, efficient drones/balloons carrying an arsenal of AAMs that could stay in the air for weeks. At that point SAMs will mostly retreat into short range point-defense systems.

"The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error. "

7:50 best line of the video , sums up modern warfare perfectly

Excellent video, very balanced, not inclined to one side or the other, congratulations!

Wow thanks, now I feel safer when I fly my F-35 over hostile areas.

A former coworker of mine worked as enlisted personnel with the Patriot missile for eight years. He said it was insanely crappy.

I think AA defence was always more about creating an Area of denial/a deterrent than actually shooting down planes. AA solutions are inherently ineffective at direct combat, but that's part of how and why they work. If you have no AA defence, the enemy can just fly straight over your cities/ships/bases and attack whatever he wants without fear of getting destroyed. If you put AA around critical spots, then the enemy will have to adjust, stay out of optimal range and take risks. So while they rarely see action and even more rarely get kills, it's not because they don't "work", but because they do what they're supposed to :) Imagine a blockhouse with an HMG inside, is it ineffective, because it never kills anyone? Or is it effective, because the enemy has to go around it, as to not get shot into pieces by that HMG?

i'm not sure how I feel about a weapon system not being used because "it would hurt sales".

It all makes sense because the main goal is to make money. Air defense is just a side by-product of making money. The same is true for all other products on the market.

No modern airforce can afford to lose pilots - whose training takes years and millions of dollars and multimillion dollar jets - over any sustained air campaign. Once missile and air attacks begin...you are using very expensive and difficult to replace assets. If your airforce "breaks" itself by losing those assets attacking a country with advanced anti-air systems it will take years to replenish what you lost. There are parameters set on any attack by commanders as to what are acceptable losses....they would not want to lose 5 jets in a day. Any ground campaign relies on air superiority to launch strikes on exposed enemy assets...without that you are looking at a much longer campaign. I believe modern air defence is quite effective and that's the reason NATO got out of the "no fly zone" business after Libya

Great job. You got a new sub!

Thank you for great information and the reduced to no bias

@Intel Guru It has also shot down missiles from every israeli attack, but you can always add more missiles to the attack to overwhelm the air defenses. The political situation in Syria makes it that the russians can only deliver enough systems to make israeli attacks more costly, not prevent them. It has nothing to do with the systems. Think about it, what would be the next step if the russians give the Syrians and Hezbollah a nearly fully effective air shield? Any guess?

Yeah, unfortunately for Pantsir, it’s been destroyed multiple times by those two countries. Israel has attacked Syria hundreds of times for years. They often release satellite images of the targets before and after the raids, proving that some of their missiles were able to avoid Syrian air defenses and destroy their targets. There’s many images out there on the internet. Shouldn’t be too hard to find.

There is no system that can’t be overwhelmed, that is why countries establish their defense system on layers of different air defense systems!

Modern air defense systems are layered and divided into three categories 1.Point defense or Very Short and Short range (CIWS, Stingers, RIMs), 2. Medium range (Tor, Buk) , 3. High range (Patriot, S-400) which connected to central commanded and controlled and ultimately ballistic missile defense which only few countries posses.

Good video again. Keep it up

This is how you defeat russian air defences - Launch a swarm of seagulls

Why are you mixing up Anti-ballistic air defence and "general" air defence? Why you didn't sort them out and clarify that they are completley different

I saw a great video on the f-117a that was shot down. That was mainly down to lazy flight path selection paired with a great shot. The flight paths of the bombers had been compromised, so the groundbtroops had a general idea of where they would be, and they still had trouble locking the aircraft up. This was stated by the crew that fired it, so I don't think they are spreading that to make the f-117a look better.

Excellent Analysis

Well to be honest Israel Iron Dome can be considered one of the best Air Defance in the World. They are being tested almost every month and it works unlike others 😁😁😁😁

Very well done!

Seeing how over a thousand American fighter planes and bombers were shot down over Vietnam by Russian designed surface to air missiles and triple a guns, I imagine surface to air missiles are still effective against 4th generation aircraft and can threaten stealth fighters as well if they get close enough.

To shoot a missile at a target first you have to detect it but then you have to track it while the missiles in flight or against an F117 wildly fire off dozens of exploding missies along the stealth jets known to replenish flight path in hope of one-day hitting one:)
