Very grim2 for s500 if true.
>>
>>61966343
This is just a launcher, without a separate guidance vehicle with a big radar on top it cannot shoot down a hot air baloon. In a complete complex there usually are multiple missile launchers for each of those radars and they together constitute a minimal air defense unit, which can be combined with other such units to use higher level assets like an even bigger early warning radar, command point and so on.

For advanced, high performance and specialized air defense systems smart nations deploy more basic, general purpose air defenses that allow the high tech ones to focus on their specific job, i.e. ballistic missile interception but since it's russians we're talking about this can easily not be the case.

>>
>>61966404
It's regularly shilled as the new big scary thing that will totally shut down everything west of Belarus any day now but it was originally intended to be a dedicated anti ballistic missile system similar to the THAAD that russians have absolutely no equivalent of. It seems like even the design hasn't reached nowhere near the performance of that THAAD even on paper so the whole thing was scaled back so much that we don't even know if the mighty S-500 isn't just a rebranded S-300V launcher on wheels with some minor modifications.
>>
>>61966421
you forgot
>laos
>>
>>61966404
No. There was some bullshit with a unified program but contradicting goals so the S-300 was built as the S-300P (what you know as S-300 and was later upgraded to S-400), the S-300F naval variant and the S-300V which is the ABM version with the 9M83 and 9M82 missiles.
The S-500 is an upgrade of the S-300V and uses the 77N6, a missile with a similar layout of the 9M83. It's supposed to augment the A-135 ABM system rather than act as normal anti-air like the S-400.

>>61966481

You can't exactly achive hit-to-kill accuracy with chinese consumer electronics, and we've seen the effectiveness near-misses have on the relatively fragile and low-speed ATACMS missiles. Now imagine it trying to defend against an even medium-range ballistic missile going at like 3-5 times the speed and with a reentry-capable casing. It's going to consume like 1/3rd the battery's magazine for a single missile.

it's almost as if russia doesn't have the pre-existing economy and industry to support an MIC the size of the US and trying to replace everything is just going to cause the same thing that collapsed the soviet economy.

Yes. It had integrated capabilities to use missiles from S-300V that have much better ballistic defense potential. Especially big boy 9M82 missiles (launchers fit 2 such), these were developed as counter to Pershing 1/2 ballistic missiles.

>>61966666

>>61966649
I'm not sure russians can even design a reliable and trustworthy automatic control system that can quickly recognize, classify and intercept an incoming ballistic missile and more importantly NOT intercept any kind of friendly target that might've found its way into the engagement zone, without having pvt. Ivan sit there chugging coolant and waiting for the officer to order him to start blasting shit. This approach doesn't work with ballistic missiles because they arrive so quickly.

Of course that requires rock solid IFF system interoperable between branches and generations of aircraft which russians also lack. PATRIOT doesn't have a manual mode, it doesn't even have a "fire" button per se, the operators can only mark and prioritize the target for the computer to determine the best firing solution. It automatically tracks and classifies targets using multiple parameters like flight zones, directions, IFF information and so on all of which are set up and managed by the operators, along with classifying any targets whose status is unclear. For ballistic missiles PATRIOT not only tracks and classifies them but also calculates their probable impact point and only aims at those that might hit the determined zone. This amount of information means cannot be effectively managed by humans that have to make the decisions on the fly, which is why russian air defense has been so unresponsive against cruise missile attacks as well.

You can't have an effective ABM system without those things even if your missile can reliably intercept such targets under clean conditions, either through hit-to-kill or through fragmentation and that's such a big if there's doubt that countries like russia are capable of achieving that at all.

>You can't exactly achive hit-to-kill accuracy with chinese consumer electronics
This is one out of two reasons the S-500 is totally fucked.
The other is that they don't have attitude control thrusters like the THAAD.
Without hit-to-kill they're stuck using the directed frag warhead, which carries a weight penalty and thus requires a larger booster to shoot it up there.
Without thrusters to steer they have to use aerodynamic controls, which lose efficiency in the thinner atmosphere and thus require a missile to go faster to retain control.
So the 77N6 is an exercise in going full retard with boosting to loft an upgraded 9M82 and gain range over the S-300V
>>61966705
No anon, the S-500 is the S-300V upgrade. Using the big boy missile is the entire reason for it existing, it just to happens to also be compatible with the 40N6 missile from the S-400 but its primary role is to fire the 77N6 which is basically a MOAR POWAAAA 9M82.

>>61966955
The S-500 engagement radar seems to be a souped up version of the 92N6E Grave Stone radar, which is consistent with the higher power requirements of an ABM radar versus a purely SAM radar. The acquisition and battle management radar is the 91N6E which in turn is a derivative of the 64N6E Big Bird. It can interface with radars used in the S-400.
For all we know, the specs are Almaz-Antey hopium and they suffer from the same pitfalls as S-300s and S-400s, but the range is extended to engage targets above the 30km line.

AWACS radar is good against low flying targets like cruise missiles and aircraft. S-500 radar is limited by the horizon. It can't see a low flying target until it approaches at like 40-50 km. So I don't think it's going to work, if that was really the intent.
>>
>>61967317
Well that's even worse. Granpas that programmed in Assembly for S300 are either long retired or lost qualification, and no qualified software engineer will work on a factory today.

The S-500 can use the 40V6MT mast to put the 96L6-TsP radar high enough to deal with low flying targets but that's beside the point. The Russians are seemingly doing a shit job at integrating the layers of defense.
The intent is most likely the ATACMS threat not being addressed by the S-400 so they're trying plug that gap with the S-500 which should in theory see the incoming ballistic missiles better.

This. Remember the insane inflation in 2022, which mostly leveled off by the next year? Russia has been at higher inflation rates than that non-stop since then. Double digit interest rates on everything including mortgages.
It's a simple problem, really. They had a worker deficit even before the war, now the MIC is working triple shifts and is forced to offer higher and higher wages to fill critical positions, but on the other hand the DoD needs meat for the meat cube which means they have to increase the soldier salaries as well. So the MIC is competing with the army for the same pie, almost 700k men (a lot of them with marketable technical skills) fled from the draft towards the West and that's not even taking into account the rest of the economy or the casualties.
In other words the economy is overheating badly, the one industry other than selling raw resources (arms export) has collapsed and it will only get worse over time.

Even if it does get cancelled (I'm not saying it will for sure), it will come back in a different form and the tech will be reused.

Yep, those retards haven't figured out challenge-response IFF let alone non-cooperative target identification. Meanwhile almost all ballistic Russian launches get tracked by multiple ground radars in Europe/Asia (the Americans even have dedicated RC-135s for optical/infrared tracking of ballistic missiles) and NATO has built an amazing signature database for basically everything they've got.

This means they can predict the path, assign priority targets and in general vastly increase efficiency.
Meanwhile, Russian crews see a target moving at X speed/Y altitude and have to mostly guess based on their limited personal experience. The absolute shit show when GMLRS/Stormshadow/ATACMS got first introduced proves that they didn't even get a briefing on this new threat about to hit the battlefield, or that the higher ups didn't know wtf to do about it. It's like it's all based on personal experience, they don't archive anything and any lessons learned are lost on the next attack which kills the experienced operator.
Even their intelligence services were measuring eggs during the Iraq war when those same systems were used against soviet AA and they had every chance to study how they behave. In other words, the ass is in the ass and it's staying there.

A horizon calculator for a mast of 127 ft against a target 30 feet above the ground gives me 25 km, so even worse than I thought. That's only enough for self-defence of the installation, and maybe not even then. Anything flying around can slightly change its trajectory and not be seen at all.
>>61966785
Bruh, do they really have no attitude control in vacuum for an interceptor designed to hit ballistic missiles? THAAD is already at the limit of how close you can safely intercept a long-ish range ballistic missile, those ziggas can't even leave the stratosphere without becoming an unguided projectile.

SRBM is a broad category. 500km is soundly within it, sure, but that's not exactly "short" in the context of this war.

The Iskander is also 500 km claimed range, and that's reasonably far in this conflict.

Lol.

The practice of hand-coding assembler died pretty much as soon as compilers were invented. Not only because the code is much easier to write, but because the resulting machine code is also better.

It might be able to intercept ATACMS. That's about it. And then there's a good chance it intercepts it too close and the bomblets fall over the battery anyway. There's a reason SM-3 costs 15m per missile. You're hitting a bullet with another bullet in space, except both of them move an order of magnitude faster than actual bullets. You can't stick a bigger rocket on it and call it a day.

Russian immigrants to the US probably have the lowest crime rate and highest intelligence of any immigrant group, and it's kind of retarded we aren't doing a lot more to get as many as possible. If Biden wasn't a fucking idiot there'd be an operation paperclip type thing going on to vacuum up as many scientists and researchers as possible. Instead most of the ones leaving are probably ending up in China.

Anon... the S-500 can't do atmospheric interception.
The S-300V loaded with 9M82M tops out at 30km. It most likely flies over the intercept ceiling but it has to come back down and use aerodynamic steering.
The 77N6 has an even bigger xboxhueg booster which supposedly allows it to steer at 45km (ziggers claim 60 but whatever).

the reason for that is that people smart enough to attend the universities in moscow or overseas realized they could make the big fucking bucks working in the US. so they left. you don't even need to run operation paperclip, just let it get out just how well you pay people who're educated. there's a reason RT only films places like detroit now.

Every immigrant group does this thing where they drastically overcompensate against integration and make their whole personality revolve around some facile element of their old culture. Usually it's food, language, religion, music or fashion. Unfortunately the only culture Russia has is drugs, homosexuality, and bitching about the west. It's not a good value proposition when the best case scenario is that you only imported a bunch of faggots.

>>61969722
Well the main ABM system in Russia is the A-135 (with A-235 in development and some testing done since 2014). The A-135 used the 51T6 Gorgon exoatmospheric and later just the 53T6 Gazelle endoatmospheric, both have nuclear warheads and thus don't need the accuracy of a hit-to-kill. The 51T6 was taken out of service. The non-nuclear 53T6M was most likely tested in Sary-Shagan (Kazakhstan) in 2021.
The S-300V was designed for theater ABM and thus the tracked vehicles because the Army wanted it to keep up with armor. The S-500 was a way to augment the A-135 and keep it also mobile. It bridges the gap between S-400 and A-135 which is why it's such a fucking stupid missile system. It's physically much larger than the MIM-401 used in the THAAD but it can't perform as well. Developing a THAAD equivalent would cost money so they strap a massive booster to an older design to make it go faster.

Those targeting projections also typically didn't consider the overlap in blast waves from different targets unless the targets were both a part of some related complex, resulting in an even bigger overkill since the soviet rail depot that is next to the soviet military stockpile that is right next to a small airfield would be blasted 3 times as hard because there are warheads aimed at each target individually.

That's just spot on.
I had a Russian friend before the war and she was talking a lot of straight up bullshit like this.

But that wasn't even the worst.
If you meet any Russian with government involvement, he instantly thinks that their country is basically undefeatable. Why? Cause they're fucking mobsters and they think that makes them strong.
They invite investors to Russia, show them the best hotels in the city, show them the bars, put them a roofie in the vodka, lay them in bed and slip an underage girl under their blanket.

The next morning you get a wake-up visit from your local police department who claim that they have been informed about a missing underage child. They pretend to take DNA samples, (which confirms you raped her) put you in jail and of course you are guilty and of course your handler magically appears and makes all of this go away.

They can reopen this investigation any day they like with that fake evidence. They can even put you on a list for international international arrest warrants with this. So you better dance to their tune.

The Russians think that makes them good business man, but it just shows how fucking bad they are, that they have to resort to this bullshit to barely compete to us.

Patriot has two primary modes, automatic and semi-atuomatic. The former is autonomous and doesn't technically require any human intervention once it's set up, while the latter still needs human discretion before it can engage targets. There's still no "fire" button and no way to order the system to launch a missile but your operators still need to flag the target as hostile before it can be engaged.

At least that's how it is supposed to work. I'm not a Patriot operator and has never been one but i've read some details on the topic.

Before the war russia had about 30 S-400 units with their own targeting radar and about 12 larger early warning and observation radars to go with those. S-300s were mostly replaced with S-400s(or rather, upgraded to S-400 since the latter uses all the same components minus the new radars and missiles) and only a few weren't moved in reserve yet. With the way these things are getting clapped recently, they might've lost a third of their radars already.
>if a hot war broke out with NATO
russia doesn't care about that one bit because the KGB niggers know that NATO has zero willingness to deal with a splintered russia where random warlords posess nukes, leaving them to fuck around completely unopposed. They did the same thing back in the 90s when they wrestled western support and indifference towards their criminal redistribution of ex-soviet national industries. If you remember the stories about "nuclear brefcases" that might've been sitting unaccounted in russia and even smuggled in US - this was a ploy they were actively spreading despite there being absolutely no evidence soviets ever developed a nuke smaller than a 152mm artillery shell.

>The practice of hand-coding assembler died pretty much as soon as compilers were invented. Not only because the code is much easier to write, but because the resulting machine code is also better.

Retard, everything you wrote is incorrect or plain simply wrong
It was pajeet tier and it was on /k/

Most of military embedded systems either run on completely custom ASICs, or on unholy combinations of completely different ISA architectures chips chained together where each one is responsible for different sensors/inputs/processing, everything is fixed function and most cases runs on bare metal without even a microkernel.
Best you get is limited support for mid-80's C and ADA, neither of which are considered to be high level anymore by zoomer faggot coders that deal only with interpreted langs/GC-style compiled langs.
All that fucking compiler optimization you think about does not fucking apply there cause the progress went to the consumer market modern x86 and ARM ISA compilers, and not for some either esoteric custom ASICs, or forgotten embedded variants of 6502/68k/Z80/8088 still popular and in use in military products, constantly produced with the only modernization being a die-shrink and a frequency bump.
Same fucking thing applies in the medical field, medi hardware corpos are constantly on the lookout for younger people that can do low level coding.

And that's the main flaw. True intelligence is constantly adapting. It's both a model, data set and training algorithm. A model will take a static input to static output. True intelligence will sample both input and output against each other trying out various adjustments to all three - input, output, model. And this requires agency, a drive and goal above static input.

Well, I guess this means one of the following is true:
1. The S-500 is a piece of shit that doesn't work, and therefore it has been destroyed leaving Crimea vulnerable.
2. The S-500 is a piece of shit that doesn't work, but hasn't been destroyed, it just can't do anything even in Crimea.
3. The S-500 is a piece of shit that doesn't work, and is so bad it wasn't actually deployed to Crimea to begin with.
