Wow so suddenly IACCS is some magic technology nd nobody in world possess this magic wand including the country from where S400 originally originated?? mate i know nationalism runs high now nd everything (read IACCS) india has is some magic tech but a little bit of realism will only add on rationality.. rather than lofty claims.
Oki what is IACCS- it is an automated, real-time command and control network of the Indian Air Force that integrates radars, sensors, communication links nd SAM systems across India to monitor, track nd respond to aerial threats efficiently..
Now is it unique to india??
Doesn't Russia nd Iran (both hv been investing in integrating nd developing their respective SAMS nd C2 nodes since ages) have their own indigenous equivalent as u hv claimed??
ANS - false claim..
Read about IRGC Aerospace Force Fakour C2, Rasool commn system nd Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base that Integrates radar-SAM-fighter network with indigenous C4I capability which was introduced wayback in 2014.
Here's example of Fakour

Read about RUSSIAN SYSTEM- ACS VKO, ASU VPVO, Baykal, NDMC..Full-spectrum automated air defense and space command system.
Here's example of Russian equivalent which is more mature than IACCS...

Now coming to ur claim of Ukraine dismantled S-400 sites using drones, decoys, nd legacy systems, exploiting the lack of a distributed, survivable kill chain in Russia’s air defense network nd kill chain was resilient.. now this whole claim is quite uninformed for anyone who has closely studied Russian Ukrainian war.
I hv been studying about Russian IADS performance nd it's AIR DENIAL capabilities since starting of Russian Ukrainian war..nd I had posted multiple times on this forum on the learnings of the same in indo pak scenarios.
So let me impart my understanding of russian S400 performance nd the equivalent Russian IADS performance-
In total 4 time russian S400 took hit where 3 times ATAMCS/HIMARS accounted for it while one strike was credited to modified neptune missiles..
Now Ukraine’s successes against S-400 systems such as the 92N6E radar in Kherson (August 2022) or launchers in Crimea (April/May 2024) involved Western-supplied ATACMS/HIMARS nd Neptune missiles. These were due vulnerabilities such as poor site concealment or inadequate protection against saturation attacks not a systemic failure of Russia’s IADS or lack of it as u claim.. Russian S400 loses also reflects on any IADS inherited lack of capabilities to move nd scoot thus it can be targeted with precision strike from both air or ground launched vectors when it's location is known.. no "NERVOUS SYSTEM" will save the day.
Now coming to the capability of Russian IADS - The National Defence Management Centre (NDMC) integrates S-400, S-300, S-350E nd S-500 systems via the Aerospace Forces (ASU VKO) nd Air and Missile Defence Troops (ASU VPVO). The NDMC fuses data from Don-2N radars..A-50 awacs nd SATCOM ensuring layered defense. Russia also claimed one unique niche capability where S-400 downed a Ukrainian Mi-8 while using new warheads with A-50 support, showing potency when mobile and integrated. Russian S400 Losses stem from operational errors which are common in long drawn war not an inherently weak kill chain as u hv erroneously claimed.. also russian "claimed" a high interception rate of ATACMS/HIMARS with their IADS preventing multiple strikes.
Now coming to indian-pak scenario where S400 still inherits it's deficiency i.e being semi mobile it takes 10 minutes to move from firing position to reposition.. enough for a fast moving stealth vector to come close enough to achieve a safe launching distance nd launch precision strike even if it's not radiating nd supported by "NERVOUS SYSTEM".. it location can still be identified with precision by SPY satellite hving cm level precision which xina currently possess the capability nd it can track nd identify indian S400 location nd pass it onto paxtan..We already have credible inputs of Xina not only assisting paxtan with tech nd tools but also with gold standard SIGINT to harm india during operation sindoor.
even indian 4th gen fighters on CAPs to prevent such strike will be at huge disadvantage against a PAF VLO platform nd can face high attrition rate.
So India is not only fighting against paxtan but paxtan assisted with Xina (directly or indirectly)..Now PAF with chinese J35 will get the VLO stealth capability nd they will employ the VLO tactics nd operations against indian S400 in conjunction with PLAAF. remember PLAAF already operates S400 nd while PAF currently lacks in aero ballistic missiles it will build the capability with the help of Xina. So only having defensive capabilities (like stationary Radars or software "nervous system") against a credible threat is recipe for disaster. India needs a mix of both offensive nd defensive capabilities no software based "NERVOUS SYSTEM" like IACCS can replace a hardware (5th gen fast moving VLO vectors) in a dynamic battlefield.
While ur confidence nd sanguinity on Indian IACCS based "NERVOUS SYSTEM" is admirable but it lacks elements of realism.
and next generation precision missiles coming from India will only get deadly and more numerous.
reality bites.. that's why crying nd squealing.
effective i hv already stated that.. nd u can't compare Ukrainian drone capabilities which even surmounts russian scale (hv recently started catching up) with slow nd 3rd rate turkish knock offs which PAF employed.
