Hi guys!

Need some good info prices of SA-10/20 family, which where sold (or offered) on Iran, Venesuela, Cina, Turkey etc.

Some photos:

The target looks familiar...

Yeah, and the missile slams exactly in to the operators cabin...
... avoiding close air defense (Panzir) with its steep dive angle.

and some video...

In Syria, the situation is the same...







... Fire Control Radar for the S-300PM is still not visible.

At least, some reliable metric radars were added...

IFF Parol also arrived to Syria.



Check video at 1:17

That's why I don't like the decision to place operators near the antenna.... (Compare losses of SA-3B and SA-6 in OAF 1999)...

Meanwhile IAF bombed Damascus:



No sign of any russian AD activity...

So far deployment of the S-400 was advertised in the press...
...but in reality, I seen only 4x S-300PM PU's (TEL's) arriving into Syria.

No RPN (Tomb Stone) fire control radar was seen so far...
(meaning that the S-300PM SAM unit is still not battle ready)

Based on their license plates (50's), they are originally based in the Moscow region.



Still funny when they raised their missile containers for the press, while no data tele-code antenna is extended, and the cable harness (towards the fire control radar) is untouched...

That's why I don't like the decision to place operators near the antenna....

You either put the operators close to the antenna, to be able to see and act on primary radar returns (as in the S-300), or you can put your operators far away from the radar station (as in Patriot), but in this case they can fight only against computer generated icons (radar information processed by the computer in the RS) on their screens.

Russians so far seen more jamming, and ARM's than anyone, so they selected to show to the operators the primary radar return of the target.

Raytheon designer of the HARM missile beside the Patriot system, knowing its (current and future) capabilities, selected to move the operators far from the radar station (limiting their access to primary radar battle information).

Oh, and how it works with VIKO in SA-2 and 3 or azimuth/range and epsilon in SA-2 and 3, but doesn't work on S-300/400?... There is no sense to me....

Difference is on the wavelength cm vs m.

You can have a Yagi TV antenna at the top of your roof, and transfer the metric wavelength signal on a flexible long coax cable into your TV set...
... on the other hand if you want to transfer cm wavelength radio signal without huge loss, you need a short vacuum filled rigid feeder tube, at a specific diameter of the transmitter wavelength.
