It seems that the Indian-made S-400 long-range air defense system has been hit by the Pakistan Army. Prominent Indian journalist Vishnu Sharma stated in an interview that according to the information he has obtained, a CM-400 air-to-surface missile launched by the Pakistani JF-17 'FC-1 Xiaolong' fighter jet has at least hit the Indian Army's S-400 air defense missile base located in Adampur.

The Pakistan Army had previously claimed multiple times to have hit the Indian S-400 air defense system and released videos of the 'FC-1 Xiaolong' fighter jets armed with missiles taking off, but these claims were all denied by India. However, later, many media outlets including CNN reported that the S-400 was indeed hit by the Pakistan Army. The CM-400 air-to-surface missile of the Pakistan Army is considered by Western media as an improved variant of the C-802, but through this India-Pakistan conflict, Western media began to change their view. They believe that this missile is a redesigned product with a maximum range of up to 400 kilometers, possibly having a anti-radiation version, and its terminal penetration speed can reach Mach 4. Considering that the East Big Ally of Pakistan is familiar with the characteristics of the S-400 air defense system, hitting such an air defense system is not a particularly difficult matter.
