CNN confirmed that Pakistan had destroyed one S-400 air defense missile launch system of India. The JF-17 Block 3 fighter jet, within the 400 km range of the Russian S-400 air defense missile system, conducted a single mission to destroy one S-400 air defense missile system of India.
The S-400 air defense missile system is such a large-scale air defense system. The JF-17 fighter jet is not a stealth aircraft, so the S-400 air defense missile system can definitely lock onto the JF-17 fighter jet from a long distance with high precision.
The JF-17 fighter jet does not have super maneuverability or three times the speed for ultra-strong penetration capability. Once locked by the S-400 air defense missile system, it will certainly be destroyed. But why was the JF-17 fighter jet able to conduct a single mission to destroy one S-400 air defense missile launch system (radar or command system) this time?
The most likely possibility is that the KG600 electronic warfare pod carried by the JF-17 fighter jet interfered with and suppressed the detection radar system of the S-400 missile. This made the S-400 air defense missile system fail to lock onto the position of the JF-17 fighter jet, let alone launch missiles for interception. Finally, it was destroyed by the supersonic missile launched by the JF-17 fighter jet.
