Kind of technical and full of details.
US Media Acknowledges S-400’s Might!
Says Russian AD System Can Track Stealth Fighters Like F-35
Here is what jumped out at me:
"The crux of the issue lies in the fear that the S-400 could compromise the sensitive technology and operational capabilities of the F-35. The diplomatic fallout from the acquisition of the S-400 by Turkey, a NATO member, serves as a poignant example of the tensions surrounding the issue."
(And now we know why the Turks obtained the S-400)
"The dispute between Turkey and the United States over the purchase of the S-400 in 2019 resulted in Ankara’s expulsion from the F-35 program, effectively halting all training and delivery processes related to the fighter jets. This rift underscores the seriousness with which the United States views the potential risks associated with the co-location of the F-35 and the S-400."
Expert Take On The Issue
"Speaking with EurAsian Times, Patricia Marins, a defense analyst closely monitoring Russian defense industries, said, “When comparing the F-35 with Russian air defenses like the S-300 and S-400, the Turks are the only ones who have tested and know the results. According to Turkish reports, the S-400 was able to detect the F-16, F-35, and even the F-22. No one except the Turks can confirm this.”
