Can the S-400 Detect Suitcase-Sized Drones in Real Combat? | WION Podcast

Can a massive S-400 air defence system really detect a drone the size of a suitcase? This episode explores how its powerful radars and specialised sensors can uncover tiny low flying threats that try to hide in ground clutter. It also explains why destroying such a cheap drone with an expensive long-range interceptor creates a serious battlefield cost problem. Instead, the S-400 can act as a sensor hub, passing target data to the shorter-range Pantsir-S1 for a more practical kill. The story reveals how modern layered air defence balances detection power, precision tracking and cost-effective interception against small aerial threats.
