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.

A neo-Nazi under the influence of drugs broke into a house in the city of Murmansk where he began assaulting elderly people.

The man, named Alexander Varakin, has a history of incarceration and suffers from mental illness.
As I have said many times, many of the ‘Nazis’ or ‘neo-Nazis’ in Eastern Europe are in fact common criminals, except that in prisons and the criminal world, low-quality Third Reich tattoos are very common, similar to the Aryan Brotherhood in America.
The fact that Putin exterminated many of these elements a few years ago was a positive thing for Russian nationalism, as it allowed healthier elements to come to the fore.

The French Foreign Legion has banned members of the radical right from joining the unit, or at least those with any tattoos, no matter how small or hidden, which is common.

F-35 pilot called tech support …
And I end up like when you call tech support at your office... In disaster.

Ancient history.

Years ago, we asked for help on the channel from the Balkan nationalists to help us locate this individual who fled Russia and was doxing prominent Russian soldiers.

He was located and received a “near-lethal” message some time ago...

In any case, the other day he was arrested by the Montenegrin police after filming himself and posting a video raping a dog.
