re: #396 John Hughes

Because using S-400 missiles on Russian planes is unlikely to work well.

Turkey will have the nerfed export version of this, and the Russians will know its capabilities exactly, but it would probably work I believe. I’m not an expert in the details, but the S-400 is more of an all-around jack-of-all-trades system where the Patriot is more specialized and good at some missions while not doing others.
