1 or 2 days ago there were news reports on numerous channels about the downing of an F-16 near the Russian border.
Are the S-400s capable of intercepting the F-16AM of the Ukrainian Armed Forces beyond the radio horizon based on the target designation of the Su-35S. Technical analysis
Thus, a Su-35S pilot patrolling over the Kursk region at an altitude of about 8-10 km could easily detect a low-altitude F-16AM using the Irbis-E radar at a distance of about 230 km, but probably would not use the R-37M missile at such a distance due to the fact that despite its long range, at these distances it retains little or no energy potential, in fact in the 120-160km range the missile could only have overloads of up to 6-8G.
The S-400 complex’s Mach-8 40N6 anti-aircraft missile would have a much greater chance of intercepting an F-16AM maneuvering at low altitude (than the Mach 5.3 R-37M), especially if the S-400 was deployed 100 km closer to the coordinates of the detected aircraft than the Su-35S.
As a result, having tied the route (taken under escort) of the F-16AM with the help of the Irbis-E radar, the Su-35S pilot can, via the protected network-centric data exchange channel КДл-И of the С-108 communication station (from 0.96 to 1.25 GHz), issue target designation either to the automated control system of the combined SAM brigade "Поляна-Д4М1" (with subsequent retransmission to the 55K6 combat control post of the S-400 complex), or directly to the 55K6 combat control post. As a result, the launch of the long-range anti-aircraft missile 40N6 with the F-16AM coordinates loaded into the INS can be carried out in the over-the-horizon mode (blindly), and the radio correction will be carried out by the onboard radar Irbis-E.
At a distance of approximately 35-40 km, the F-16AM will be captured by the active X-band radar homing head (probably the Slanetz) of the 40N6 anti-aircraft missile, which will ensure the autonomous exit of the anti-aircraft missile into the rear hemisphere of the F-16AM with the initiation of the radar fuse.
In theory, given the possible amplitude-frequency compatibility in the X-band, the Irbis-E radar can even highlight the F-16AM with a standard 48N6DM anti-aircraft missile with a semi-active radar homing head, this is an extremely sophisticated (but technically feasible) scheme for aggregating disparate radar detection and interception instruments into a single anti-aircraft/anti-missile circuit.
Note:
A semi-active radar homing head is a missile guidance system that relies on external radar illumination. It detects the reflected radar energy from a target, and then guides the missile toward it using that information. This method keeps the missile's radar passive, reducing its detectability while maintaining targeting accuracy.
