Why Patriot has difficulty detecting Russia's Su-35
(Baonghean.vn) - The Patriot air defense system's radar has difficulty detecting the Russian Su-35 aircraft because this state-of-the-art fighter is equipped with an advanced electronic warfare system, reported 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 prevent Patriot radar from intercepting it. In addition, Russian aircraft also create 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 super-maneuverable multi-role fighter. The fighter uses 5th generation technology in its construction, which makes it superior to foreign aircraft of the same class. The new super-maneuverable multi-role fighter is equipped with advanced avionics, a phased array radar with a long range for detecting airborne targets, as well as new engines with increased thrust./.
