Why is the Patriot system difficult to detect Russia's Su-35?
(Baonghean.vn) - The Patriot air defense system's radar has difficulty detecting Russian Su-35 aircraft because this advanced fighter jet is equipped with a sophisticated electronic warfare system, according to the YouTube channel Defense TV.
"Along with its maneuverability, the Su-35 also has a low radar signature and an advanced electronic warfare system. These factors can hinder Patriot radar interception. In addition, the Russian aircraft creates special decoy targets that significantly make it difficult for anti-aircraft missiles to target them," the American expert noted.
The Su-35 is a Russian 4++ generation, highly maneuverable, multi-role fighter aircraft. Its design incorporates 5th generation technology, giving it superior capabilities compared to comparable foreign aircraft. This new, highly maneuverable, multi-role fighter is equipped with advanced avionics, a long-range phased-array radar for detecting airborne targets, and new engines with enhanced thrust.
