The popular American edition of The Wall Street Journal erupted in admiration for the Russian Triumphs, known in the armies of the world as the S-400 air defense system. The title of the publication’s article is called: “The New Iron Curtain: the Russian missile defense challenges American aviation.”
As is clear from the article, the Russians built their "Triumphs" in Syria, as well as along their south-western borders - and right up to the Arctic Circle. This deadly air defense ring is stronger and smarter than the US Air Force. What makes Russia practically invulnerable to air strike. Therefore, the Pentagon in the near future should urgently change its plans to combat the Russian air defense systems, and in particular with their advanced C-400 systems.
In addition to the above, the publication is concerned that the Russian "Triumphs" are popular in many countries around the world. To date, a queue of buyers has already lined up behind these complexes. And as a result, it seriously narrows the potential effectiveness of the US Air Force.
To date, contracts for the supply of "Triumphs" concluded India and Turkey, on the approach of China. In addition to these, about ten more states are counting their budget opportunities for the purchase of the C-400.
Recall, the S-400 air defense system is designed to intercept any air targets within a radius of 400 kilometers over the entire altitude range, and with the addition of additional modules, the range of the system increases to 600 km.
