        NASAMS 3 beats the shit out of Buk in terms of engagement altitude. And obviously modern Western seekers are wunderwaffe compared to Russian shit.
        Otherwise they're pretty similar.

          The BUK is supposed to be plugged into an automated, integrated ADS.

          NASAMs doesn't have any equivalents.

          NASAMs is much more primitive than BUK, it's closer to an OSA short range system.

                technically? Yes, you can scream all you want at an enemy EWAR plane but as long as it abides by the conventions of maritime law (you cannot actually enter the airspace of another country, be within 12nmi, or approach ships) then it's perfectly legal. Retaliating against an aircraft doing that is an act of war.

            kek, that is a good one. It can link up with pretty much any western radar system from long range surveillance radars to mobile systems like AN/MPQ-64 to Ericson Giraffe. They could also use even AWACS or shared radar data from fighters.

            Explain what's on the image.

            EP-3E Aries II flying back and forth along walls of Criminal Penitentiary.

            yep, precisely what's happened. It's why both sides fly at low altitude, Soviet anti-air is very effective at what it does if it can see a target.
            [...]
            western systems are more point-defense focused in general as opposed to Soviet style systems that are about airspace denial. Western doctrine is to counter fighters with better fighters. The downside of this is that Ukraine isn't prepared to do this and the West doesn't really make anything that'll properly replace the Eastern SAMs that Ukraine is using up.
            Get them up in F-16s ASAP and give them lots of HARMs and wild weasel training.

            Problem with western SAM's is that there isn't true medium range mobile systems. Western manufacturers have MANPADS and heavy systems like Patriot. Pretty much only thing that covers the middle that has any kind of wide adoption is NASAMS. Smaller Aster 15 missile of Franco-Italian Aster/SAMP/T system falls on this category as well, but overall the system is heavy system like Patriot.

              exactly, Western doctrine is that's what the air force is for. We invested heavily into air superiority via having the best fighters, which is much more effective but is not something you can just sell to Ukraine and get up and running with a few weeks of training.

              medium AA is a meme if you have a competent airforce. The PIVADS was dead in the 90s and the HAWK/Chaparral were 1950s/60s technology and massively obsolete compared to PATRIOT.

                NASAMS is great as area denial tool against enemy air force, as it is distributed system that can link up to multiple sensor inputs and spread out firing units, its limitation is AMRAAM as missile being only very theoretically being able to hit short range ballistic targets. It is great against fighters and cruise missiles. For most users it shares ammunition pool with their air force fighters as it can also use AIM-9X Sidewinder. ER-AMRAAM, Evolved Sea Sparrow with AMRAAM seeker, will give it plenty of extra reach, but I don't think those have been delivered to any of the users so far.

                But why? We already sold all the HAWK/Chap systems in the 90s and 2000s

                Your poorgay allies and client states might run out of serviceable missiles for HAWK and Chapparal pretty soon.

        A good user interface makes all the difference in the world. There's a pretty substantial gap in capability between shooting at blips on the radar and knowing exactly what you're shooting at, overlaid on a GPS map.

      NASAM would be a good complement to it.
      Looking at the Ukraine war, it would suggest either Russian long-range radar-guided SAM are actually decent or that all Russian jets and helicopters are easier to target and lack warning systems.
      And while I can believe the latter, we would have noticed the former earlier if it were true.

        Nah, they're mostly similar in performance, at least the upgraded versions. Only real downside is their poor mobility, since they're point defense systems, rather than an integrated TELAR unit which can be quickly redeployed to confuse potential counterstrikes.
        On the other hand, this makes them somewhat less likely to get completely wiped out, since a strike only destroys the radar, or one of the emplacements, instead of the whole thing.

    These Soviet-era AD systems, especially systems like BUK with high-performance missiles are very dangerous. That’s why NATO has painstakingly developed tech and doctrine to deal with them. If you’re an Eastern shithole you’re too poor to implement those capabilities and these SAMs which were meant to stand-off Western air power instead become a giant wall against Eastern air forces.

    Also. The S300 system family was clearly designed to present a tough and tenacious AD capability in the face of NATO SEAD. Soviet designers of the 70s and 80s weren’t morons. The main feature was the ability to set them up in a geographically dispersed manner. So the TELs, command modules, search radar and targeting radar can be spread across a large area using a data-link vehicle (probably also ground line options). So, if a radar is taken out by SEAD the command vehicle and TELs remain safe, ready to have new radar feed connected.

    If Russia (or Ukraine) would deploy these systems well, maximizing their design features, they’d have a very formidable AD network. The fact that they’re not using them properly and still can’t challenge the covered airspace is really all about the horrible quality of the men, NOT the machines.

      Can you even effectively camouflage those phallus while retaining the ability to launch reliably and scoot if needed?

        you can put camouflage nets on or over the vehicle and rocket tubes so long as it doesn't interfere with the launching of the projectiles or the vehicle's mobility. but the main issue with "hiding" MLRS is that they'll blow up tons of dust and smoke when they launch rockets which can reveal their position to the enemy. but really, the main thing with MLRS is that its mobility allows it to shoot-and-scoot before counter-batteries catch up to it.

        loiter munitions like in the video are really a menace to (especially larger types of) MLRS since they can search for targets using EO/IR sensors and then immediately hit them with good accuracy.
