S400 long-range anti-aircraft missile, as the most powerful air defense weapon in the combat sequence of the Russian army, before the start of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the strength of this type of missile is also constantly boasting, and even the strength of this type of missile has been stabbed into the sky. At present, there are only three overseas users of S400 long-range anti-aircraft missiles, namely China, Turkey and India, and Russia has repeatedly made it clear that after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia will continue to complete the delivery of anti-aircraft missiles to India as planned, but at present, the strength of S400 long-range anti-aircraft missiles does not seem to be as powerful as Russia boasts, because on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, S400 long-range anti-aircraft missiles have been blown up by a cannon of the Seahorse high mobility rocket artillery. In addition to its very strong mobility ability, the Seahorse High Mobility Rocket Launcher can also complete the carrying of a variety of ammunition, and the range is completely different when carrying different missiles. According to the latest news obtained by the Institute of War Research, the Seahorse High Mobility Rocket Launcher used the most advanced army tactical missile provided by the United States to Ukraine, and the range of this army tactical missile is greatly increased compared with the multiple rocket launchers provided before, and the range even reaches more than 300 kilometers.
Ukraine's strike is very provocative, because Russian President Putin is currently visiting China, and during Russian President Putin's visit to China, Ukraine suddenly used the Seahorse high-mobility rocket launcher to strike, which is clearly to give Russia eye medicine. At present, the PLA is also equipped with S400 long-range anti-aircraft missiles in the combat sequence, but the number of S400 in the PLA's combat sequence is not large, and it has come to an abrupt end after a small number of S400 long-range anti-aircraft missiles have been purchased. At present, the PLA relies more on the domestically produced Hongqi-9 series air defense system to complete a series of combat missions, and does the PLA need to worry about the threat posed by the Seahorse high mobility rocket artillery in the future?
Many of the technologies of the S400 long-range anti-aircraft missile are based on the S300 PMU3 upgrade, which can cover a large number of air targets from ultra-low altitude to high altitude, and even Russia claims to be able to intercept the fifth-generation aircraft, and in the combat sequence of the PLA, there are currently both S300 long-range air defense missiles and S400 long-range air defense missiles, according to the information obtained by the war research, the composition of the S400 long-range air defense missile is basically similar to that of S300, And these S400 long-range anti-aircraft missiles are capable of completing the launch of up to 8 types of interceptor missiles. The 9M96E interceptor missile is also the most common option for the S400 long-range air defense missile, and judging from various information, the destroyed S400 long-range air defense missile launcher is equipped with the 9M96E interceptor missile.
The United States is constantly showing the power of the Seahorse high-mobility rocket launchers, and the PLA has a number of the same weapons that Russia has suffered on the battlefield, and the War Research Institute believes that this also means that the PLA must pin more hopes on the domestically produced Hongqi series of air defense missiles. Although the Hongqi series of anti-aircraft missiles still have Russian blood, the War Research Institute also believes that the biggest difference between the two is the gap in electronic equipment. The PLA's Hongqi series air defense missiles have stronger radar equipment and anti-jamming capabilities, so it is powerful to accurately capture targets and guide missiles to intercept, of course, a variety of Hongqi series air defense missiles can also form a multi-level air defense cooperation, in this way to build a dense air defense fire network.
Russia's biggest difficulty in countering the Hippocampus high mobility rocket launcher is that Russia is often unable to counterattack on the battlefield in Ukraine because it cannot detect the Hippocampus high mobility rocket launcher, and the war research believes that the PLA has stronger intelligence data collection capabilities and drone combat capabilities, which will help the PLA to counter the possible Hippocampus high mobility rocket artillery.
