Imagine what the S-400 would have done.
That was a total failure, hence the reason the whole "test" ended in just one hour.

That is impossible. The videos released by Russia and Syria are also a major gotcha (for idiots) but most of you are not clever enough to understand the propaganda.
It just so happen that someone took video of a Syrian missile which self detonated over the suburbs of Damascus, supposedly to give the illusion that it had intercepted and destroyed a Tomahawk Cruise missile at such a high altitude. But if you look closely, there was no debris from the Tomahawk that was supposedly destroyed at a few thousand feet. That's because the Tomahawk hugs the Terrain. When it flies towards a mountain, it pops over it and down the leeside onto its target with total precision. The S-400 will only detect it when it has line of sight and would have seconds to knock it out. Not impossible, but highly improbable. The Russians would be lucky to intercept and destroy about 10% (which would be a massive success if they did that) and only the S400 would be capable of it and maybe the S300 but certainly not the S200.
The Tomahawk Cruise Missile cruises at about 150 feet or 50m above the ground. How clever are all you Einsteins? Pretty dumb as a matter of fact!
The Tomahawk navigates the terrain with the use of a Terrain Following radar aided by terrain contour matching (TERCOM). The F-111 and the Panavia Tornado utilize a similar system allowing the aircraft to follow the terrain with such precision and fly under the coverage of any known radar system apart from Australia's JORN radar which is the only radar in the world capable of detecting small boats on the surface of the ocean because it reflects radiation from the ionosphere and is hence able to detect low flying terrain following cruise missiles like the Tomahawk.
For navigation, they utilize GPS and Interial Nav Systems.
IDIOTS!
For a start who said what was intercepted on the video was a Tomahawk??
That obviously is not a cruise missile.
From what I heard on the news the total number of Tomahawks were about 30 out of 103.
Who you said is an idiot?
Of course it wasn't a Cruise Missile. There was nothing there. Nothing was hit, and there was no debris. you would think the Syrians would be able to find some Tomahawk fragments or debris, but nothing. That's because they pretty much all hit their designated targets.
The Cruise Missiles were hugging the deck no higher than 300FT
The Americans didn't use anything else other than Tomahawk! They launched Tomahawk Missiles only. They have the range to strike Syria from the Mediterranean.
Oh and this was not a demonstration of what American Firepower is capable of doing. If there was such a demonstration, Damascus would be turned to glass.
If you want to know who tests their weapons, it is Russia.
Russia sent 2 Su-57 aircraft which are not even fully developed. There are only 10 prototypes and 2 were sent to Syria to test against American Technology. The Americans do not do such stupid things. The West know what their weapons are capable of and do not need to be tested in Syria to find out.

So please tell us more about the great satanical US, France and Britain trying to keep their weapons industry alive by testing their weapons when clearly they did not do such a thing but as it turns out, the Russians did. You couldn't get anymore stupid if you tried.
You would think that those responsible for the use of Chemical warfare qualify for the Satanical label but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Do you also believe that Russia has these unbeatable weapons which they claim to possess? Apparently they have the fastest missiles, which is not really the case at all. In fact it is completely wrong.
Look, if the Americans were going to test their capabilities, Syria and Assad would be finished.
PS: do not take the idiot comment seriously. It isn't aimed at you or for anyone on a personal level. it is aimed at the delirious and stupid people who accept the Russian and Syrian propaganda that somehow they shot down 70 out of 103 Tomahawks. I was laughing at all the videos supposedly depicting the downing of Tomahawk Cruise missiles high up in the Damascus skies when these missiles Cruise at between 50m to 300m with Terrain Following TERCOM.
They Cruise below the shadow of the S400 radar and use terrain in a process to shield, and shadow their approach to the target.
