So she sold them larger missiles. This should truly be a game changer.

No, she didn’t provide those missiles, at least not from US stocks. Missiles of this type require at the very least a specialized radar control system on the ground. They don’t have independent acquisition of their own, they have to be told what to go after and often guided most if not all the way there before their weak onboard radar systems can take over. The minimum package size to get even one missile in the air (not including the missile) is about the size of a U-Haul moving van and not the smallest either. It will not fit in the back of a pickup truck.

It’s more likely to be yet another Russian S-300 or Buk system - and not even necessarily as a false flag operation. Russia has been selling SAM vehicles and missiles of the required class to everyone with money and even some that didn’t have money for the past forty years. Would not be the first time Russian weapons sales prolificacy had come back to bite them in the arse.
