00:00What you see behind me is an Indian missile streaking towards a Pakistani aerial threat,

00:04likely a drone somewhere near the border.

00:07The visuals are from the night of May 7th and 8th,

00:09a day after India struck nine terror-linked locations in Pakistan under Operation Sindhu.

00:14The missile you see was likely shot from the legendary S-400,

00:18a Russian air defense system that falls under the umbrella of a SAM,

00:22a term you will likely come across in news reports during times of conflict.

00:26It stands for Surface 2 air missile.

00:27How does it work? Let's break it down.

00:30A SAM system comprises of the following.

00:32A. A radar.

00:34B. A computer.

00:35C. A launcher.

00:36And D. A missile.

00:38The radar is the system's eye.

00:40It scans the vast expanse of the sky around it in a panoramic manner,

00:44looking for whatever is flying around it.

00:46Once it spots an object, the system's brain, that is the computer,

00:49takes over, performing highly complex calculations to determine whether the object is an enemy

00:54and its speed and location.

00:56If the object is determined to be an enemy, whether a drone, missile or an aircraft,

01:00the brain sends the information to the system's, let's say, limbs, that is the missile.

01:05The canister you saw at the start then rises, aims itself towards the enemy's direction and fires the missile.

01:11The missile hurtles towards the enemy in the sky, performing mid-air course corrections if needed,

01:15and explodes mere feet away from it.

01:18Taking it down and finishing the SAM's objective.

01:21Taking it down and finishing the normal Things

01:36Why animals will be the same in the possibility of appearing in this man that misses the missile?

01:41The other way they will get…
