Why Patriot has difficulty detecting Russia's Su-35
(Baonghean.vn) - The Patriot air defense system's radar has difficulty detecting Russia's Su-35 aircraft because this state-of-the-art fighter is equipped with an advanced electronic warfare system, reported 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 prevent Patriot radar from intercepting it. In addition, the Russian aircraft also creates fake targets such as special decoys that significantly complicate the targeting of anti-aircraft missiles,” the US expert noted.
The Su-35 is a Russian 4++ generation multi-role super-maneuverable fighter. The fighter's structure uses 5th generation technology, thanks to which this aircraft is superior to foreign aircraft of the same class. The new multi-role super-maneuverable fighter is equipped with advanced avionics, a phased array radar with a long range to detect air targets, as well as new engines with increased thrust./.
