You’re talking about the people who needed the SS-17 AND SS-19 (in additon to the SS-18, 24, and 25), the SS-N-20 AND SS-N-23, S-300PMU AND S-300V, Shipwreck AND Sandbox AND Kitchen instead of one missile for all three roles. Business as usual for them.

Trident allready explain you in short why there is so much weapons developed.No offence but your post just show how much knowledge you have about Soviet missile history.

-I repeat again, you have a distorsioned perception on how a mobile SAM works. It will not work while traveling; it will remain imobile for hours searching for targets, than relocated–plenty of time to hit it.

And you are ignoring the fact that S-300PMU… system is part of network,and even can fire at targets with data recieved from other radars.This give plenty of room for “ambush” scenario with their own radar shut down.

I just find it so amusing that 10 interceptors is enough to push Russia over the edge and cause this much consternation. Russia has had an ABM system for years and nobody complained about it…

On foreign soil?SOC now you ignore the facts.You know under what condition the system was build.

That’d be a completely different scenario. US ICBMs don’t fly south, they go over the north pole. So if Russia wants to waste billions to put a system in Mexico that won’t be able to intercept anything, they’re more than welcome

I’m not convinced that this will be USA reaction.See what is the reaction against any arms deal with Venezuela.

It’s unbelievable how much credit some people give to Russian systems.

Such a scenario would require a level of networking that no one outside US has. In fact even in US, only a GBG can claim that has it — thanks to the CEC (Cooperative Engagement Capability). And BTW, it costs over 3 billion per battle group…

Right….And all talk what uber weapon SDB is true?
And were is the need for 3 billion system?For example system like Senej(5S99M) can cue S-75,S-125,S-200V,S-300V,S-300P(PMU-1…) with information about aerial targets,decoys,jammers,can guide PVO fighters and ensure that they are not engaged.Also the system coordinate the deployment of other SAM systems and the engagemet of any target.Senej receive data from most PVO radars.

“Breakaway republic”? It’s an independant country. Next you’ll be claiming that Russia, like China has claim to all the USSR’s former territory just because it once owned it.

I bet he mean Abkhazia and Ajaria or South Ossetia.

I tend to agree with WisePanda and Garry.Against determined and cappable enemy as USA,mix of high cost long range and low cost,short range systems is needed.

A good gun system like pantsyr on tracked/truck cued by radar/optics is also
a decent inner layer…mounted on berms or atop hills for longer LOS.

Something like this “cheap” Pantsyr based on BPM-3 with optical sensor.

Also,Iran must invest in modern radar and C3 systems.Radar such as Protivnik-GE(59N6-E) is capable of detecting 1,5m2 RCS targets at 340 km and 0,1m2 at 200 km.Such radar can give target location to pasive systems(average error in distance is 50 m,in heigh 350 m).Also after providing good multi layered defence,there is passive countermeasures such as Gazetchik-E,wich work for TV,Laser and passive or active radar guided munnitions.

MANPADs like the Igla-S have anti cruise missile capability if you can maintain communications and control of your forces.

Yes.And the fact that Igla-S with Planshet system can receive data from command and comunication systems such as Ranjir(9S737M),make this cheap and simple system very formidable enemy.In some sence this is mobile SAM complex.:)

To trust UK army is the last thing i’ll do.Look more like good propaganda tool.Same as “Iran support terrorism in Iraq”,said yesterday by the same person that lied about the reasons behind the Iraq invasion,and also not backed up by any solid evidence.It’s just stupidity to trust someone like him.
By the way why they look so “fresh”?If they were threated so bad for 13 days…

More Tips

Well,from first column you choose aircraft model.
The first cyrilic are ANT type,then Aist-2,An-2/10/12….,Be,Bi,IL,Ka,L,La,M,Mi,MiG,Pe,Tu,Su and Yak.This are the more famous.”Ракетоноситель Восток” is Vostok rocket.”Сопвич Триплан” is Sopwith triplane.There is various rockets such as Х-20M(Kh-20M),Х-22(Kh-22),KC-1(KS-1),KCP-11(KSR-11),КСС(2) “Сопка”(KSS(2) Sopka).

From the second column you choose country.
Armenia
Belarus
Bulgaria
Vietnam
Germany
Georgia
Kazakhstan
China
Latvia
Moldova
Poland
Russia
USA
Ukraine
Czech Republic

The third one is for city.They are too many to translate,so if you want particular one just ask.
