The Russian S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) is capable of "reaching" the Swedish ASC 890 airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft, according to military expert Mikhail Khodarenok.
He suggested that the AC 890 would have to conduct reconnaissance while in relative proximity to the forward edge. Otherwise, it will not be able to operate effectively. The aircraft will have to fly at an altitude of at least six kilometers for a long time.
In this case, the "reconnaissance aircraft" is simply an ideal target for a long-range SAM system such as the S-400.
The ASC 890 is capable of detecting missiles and aircraft at a distance of about 300-400 kilometers and transmitting target data directly to fighters using the Link 16 system. This allows combat aircraft to operate without turning on their radars.
