1) Modern air combat does not imply close range.Okay, let's look at modern Aerial Combat
2) How does this relate to the S-400?
No=)His missile must also aquire, lockon and maintain that lockon during the entire flight.
For Active radar homing (ARH) needed only an approximate area.The F-35A can fire much faster than the Mobile Site can at the F-35A
The rocket can be launched from a distance of 400 km. She goes much higher than the F35 flies.
the radiation power depends on the distance quadratically ...
Therefore, the closer she is to the plane, the better she sees.
You think the launcher is in the same place as the radar.
But it could be right under the plane.
Or 20 km behind. Or 10 km to the right.
Once again - without reconnaissance, the plane is like a man walking through a minefield.
He can prepare to attack an object 500 m away, but he will be shot at close range with a shotgun from around the corner.
Good air defense can only be overcome with "brute force". If in some region there are 300 air defense missiles ... then you need to launch 400 cruise missiles, and then planes.
You only need to knock out the controlling centers. Without the eyes and ears, those missiles are nothing more than expensive paper weights.
