basically, yeah. air defense networks work in different envelopes with different systems engaging different types of targets depending on what they are. S-400 is a theater AD system. it engages fast moving long range threats. pantsir is the one that engages the short range slow moving threats like drones and helicopters. tor handles the middle bit.
pantsir, not S-400, is the system (and the networking that ties them all together) that is really failing here.
ukraine has like three dozen different systems made by all different people and few share any kinds of native links to talk to each other but they somehow made it all work by sheer force of will. but the rusniggers cannot make their own native AD network that was all designed to work together deal with threats and intercept hilariously simple technology.
we have seen them do this before, btw.
