“It’s not “S-400 radar equipment” anymore than the 7.62x39mm round is “AK-47 ammo” - your words, a facepalm.

“they still have those warships Russia wants.” - you mean those ships that Egypt has already bought and which will use russian equipment (equipment that was originally installed for the russians) and helicopters? I’m sure Russia is pretty happy with that kind of a deal :D

try to read again - “available as a retrofit for the S-300PM/PMU/PMU1 and S-300PMU2 Favorit / SA-20 Gargoyle as a substitute for the legacy acquisition radars”.

“There are no Russian troops in Ukraine.” - try to remember Crimea is not Ukraine :D

I’m not sure why people keep trying to compare Su-34 with F-15.

Did you read the latest Israeli statement on the matter? They made it pretty clear that such confrontations with Russia ain’t gonna happen unless they are directly threatened. They also said that Turkey’s actions against russian Su-24 were not justifiable.

“This is unlikely as Russia is trying to increase it activity over Syria, not decrease it”.

96L6 is a new generation 3D radar and is the standard battery acquisition radar in the S-400 / SA-21 system, and is available as a retrofit for the S-300PM/PMU/PMU1 and S-300PMU2 Favorit / SA-20 Gargoyle as a substitute for the legacy acquisition radars. The radar interfaces to the S-300PMU2 via a radiofrequency…

96L6 3D radar has been deployed at the Latakia airbase since the beginning. And this radar is also a part of S-400 system.

Then tell me when S-400 radar equipment was deployed if you think you know better?

yes, after Russian Empire kicked its ass.

Care to provide the documentation for those numbers?

USSR was formed in 1922, after the Civil war, not after revolution 1917. That’s most common mistake people make about USSR in the West.

I’m not wrong. S-400 radar equipment has been deployed at the base since the beginning.

it’s a stantard precedure. It’s not allowed to show faces of the pilots. Since the first videos arrived from russian airbase, it was made clear to the journalists not to film pilots faces.

S-400 radar has been deployed and active pretty much since the beginning of russian operation there. So I’m sure that radar has been studied already.

Maybe Greece sould start shooting down turkish fighters as well.

2nd pilot survived, was found by the rescue crew and has been returned to Latakia airbase.

“The vast majority of their troops even amongst the legendary “Spetsnaz” are 1 year conscription troops“ - this is jusr wrong on so many levels......facepalm
