New question, http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/s200.htm claims that "In the Mideast, this missile successfully intercepted Israeli reconnaissance aircraft at a range of 190 km in the 1980's."
Is this true? Also, do you have any info on other S-200 shoot downs? The only one I ever heard about was the shoot down of that airliner..

I read about it, but never seen any usual proof.
(most importantly indicator screen-shots, wrecks, etc...)

The Bekaa valley event are still under investigation, for possible future situations in the SIM...
