S-400 Air Defense Simulation

[THIS IS ONE OF MY FIRST PROJECTS] A 3D real-time simulation of an S-400 air defense system engaging a randomly selected aircraft. The simulation models radar detection, tracking, missile guidance, countermeasures (jamming, signal loss, evasion), IFF (Identification Friend or Foe), aircraft retaliation, and defensive interception.

Built with Python using Matplotlib for 3D visualization and animation.

Features

• Randomly selected target aircraft from a list of modern fighter jets (F-15, Su-27, F-18, Su-35, Su-57, F-35, F-22) and one civilian airliner (Boeing 777).
• Realistic (simplified) physics:
  • Aircraft acceleration based on altitude and maneuver type
  • Missile acceleration and fuel consumption
  • Turn rate limits (horizontal and vertical)
  • Waypoint-based flight path with automatic evasion when under attack
• Radar simulation:
  • Noise and accuracy degradation based on distance, time, altitude, and aircraft stealth
  • Electronic jamming effects
  • Intermittent signal loss (simulated ECM bursts)
  • Lock-on mechanics
• IFF system with probabilistic friend/foe identification based on aircraft type and side (Russia vs Ukraine)
• Interactive controls:
  • FIRE MISSILE button – launches an S-400 missile (up to 2 total)
  • SELF DESTRUCT button – destroys the active missile in flight
• Aircraft retaliation:
  • Military aircraft may launch a standoff missile against the S-400 battery
• S-400 defense:
  • Can launch up to 2 interceptors to shoot down incoming aircraft missiles (within ~200 km range)
• Real-time information panel showing:
  • Radar coordinates and tracking accuracy
  • Target speed estimate
  • IFF result
  • Lock status
  • Missile and interceptor positions, speeds, fuel
  • System status

Aircraft Characteristics

Each aircraft has unique parameters affecting survivability:

Aircraft	Stealth	Jamming	Max Speed	Max Altitude	Maneuverability	ECM Duration
F-22	High	Strong	Very High	High	High	Long
F-35	Very High	Very Strong	Medium	Medium	Good	Very Long
Su-57	High	Strong	High	High	Excellent	Long
F-15 / F-18	Low	Medium	Medium-High	Medium	Good	Medium
Su-27 / Su-35	Very Low	Weak	Medium-High	High	Excellent	Short
Boeing 777 (Civilian)	None	None	Low	Low	Poor	None
