Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the purpose of a ground-to-air missile to shoot down planes? What were the missiles capable of before the upgrade?

Upgrading the capability, accuracy, anti-spoofing, etc. Making it more capable of shooting down planes, not just making it capable.

Thanks, but my beef was actually with the clumsy writing in the article - I understood what the upgrades were for.
