US THAAD radar range is around 2,000km and China's ballistic missiles radar range should be similar if not better. Therefore, any plane or missile within 2000km will be detected by China. US military strategy is to use F18 to locate and use F22 to destroy any mobile ground radar near the sea. S400 anti-missiles radar has a range of 400km but F18's radar is more than 600km. Therefore, USA will use F18 and F22 to destroy any ground radar near the sea including S400. However, after China releases the defence system test, USA knows its military plan is no longer applicable as F18 & F22 don't have the power and range to destroy the defence system radar. Any missile fired from US naval vessels including aircraft carrier will be detected by China too. This is the reason US is backing off from South China Sea because it knows it can't gain any advantage over China.
USA has U-turned on its position for South China Sea.
