how can 4 trucks with rockets on top of them cost $2,5bn?

It's basically top of the line Ruskie air defence, hence the price tag to match.

Its not just the launchers, its crew training, radar installations, command centers, spare parts, a stockpile of missiles to replace spent missile tubes and maintenance.

One complex is a lot of trucks. And phased array radars aren't cheap.

So a NATO country is going to receive the best russian SAM?

What the fuck. It is like USA selling F22's to Kazakhstan.

Export monkey version.
You see, Russians truly believe in free market and fair trading (also, they sold S300 to Greece).

>>34566739

>they sold S300 to Greece).

Yeah, to use against the Turks ironically enough.

>>34566706

How does it feel to be young and naive?

>>34566706
maybe because they are not expecting real conflict with US or NATO ?

Where are these from?

Is there a link to a PDF somewhere? Would love to check this out for research - writing a modern air combat tabletop game and need as much info on SAMs and ground radars as possible

Babbys first digital multichannel radar system
>no hit to kill missiles

>>34566805
nice of them to throw in a mobile b-ball hoop with the rest of the package

>>34568798
That's quite literally what the S300 is. Also, Russia was first ones to design and deploy effective hit to kill missiles.

To this day, only Russia and America have those in their inventory.

>>34566452
rockets require precise machining for proper weight and stress distribution, and they have extremely specialized and complicated electronics in them.
Modern missiles are completely networked with each other.

>>34566452
the turks bought this so they can more easily shoot down russian planes?

>>34568697
bump for this

>>34570606
maybe they hope of a turkish isrealian conflict... aww

>>34566452
newfag

>>34566452
You see it has kill switch to kill missile if it is used against Russia.
And Russia knows S-400 cannot surpass superior Chinese system that has no analog anywhere in the world so they sell their tech before other countries notice the discrepancy in defense.

>>34566706
Putin sees common ground with his fellow dictator.

Do you really think Erdogan would honor Article V for Estonia?

>>34566706
Russia needs monies.

>>34566452

2.5 billion into four vehicles = 625 million

625 million into five components (four missiles and the truck) = 125 million per component

for each missile specifically, split it up between the chassis, fuel system, rocket motor and warhead giving us $250,000 per part which is reasonable for a totally custom built system (figure that four people paid $62k/yr is $250,000)

$250,000 is obviously not meant to be an accurate estimate, but it goes to demonstrate how everything can be broken down into reasonable sums

>>34572141
>125 million per component
>rocket motor and warhead giving us $250,000 per part
this math doesnt add up, not at all

>>34572141
>four vehicles
Its four batteries, 4-8 TELs plus a control post and firecontrol radar each. Plus assorted reloading and maintinace vehicles, long range search, and early warning radars. Plus the technology transfers.
Not to mention the bribes.

>>34568697
It looks like the old PDF version of the Rosoboronexport catalogue

>>34566452
So one of these is totally gonna get shipped to the US right?

>>34572794
Probably not but you can bet your ass the USA will be examining the ones they have in Turkey

>>34572794
1.monkey version
2.russia is adopting S500

If you want the best, you gotta pay.

>>34572819
>>34572794
The US bought up a S300 when that was the cool thing, you can bet S400s are on their shopping list.

because good shit is expensive. american sam is probably as expensive but two times less effective.

>>34572820
S-500 is an ABM system you clown.

>>34566473
But 2.5bn is like more than russia's networth

What do we have to do with this? America is the one that is supporting Saudis AND Turks. Europeans would rather not have anything to do with Turks.

One of the trucks shoots the missile.
Another is radar.
What do the other two do?

>>34576786
From left to right:

Hmm I can't seem to access it (even after signing up...). Any chance you could upload a PDF?

Retard gypsies should pay debt and not buy sams

>>34579659
They will never pay that debt. Which is why they need sams to do their best to defend themselves when their islands start to get taken away from them.
Besides, their debt is impossible to pay.

I wish i knew what truck that is and i really wish i had a truck like that.

>>34573047

How?

Only when it suits the fucking roaches. Putin knows this.

>>34579600
Just delet the space from the numbers part, should be ok.

>>34566452
Nobody's pointed out the bit where two will be made by Turkey. This is more than just a simple sale, it's a technology transfer; they're teaching them to build them from the ground up, which means they don't have to buy more afterwards, and they're not starting from scratch to build their own, they have a modern platform to start from.

And vatniks say that sanctions don't work.

That must be why the US is selling F-35s to India and China
