They could have been on something - I cannot remember were I saw that - came out about the same time as the batteries were placed at Latakia ... the premise I believe was if the system can see something form sea level up, and there is a missile for the target then it can hit it, even under heavy jamming. Am tired and can’t wade thru all that jargon at the moment.

“The stated aim of this approach was to permit repeated launches against saturation attacks with precision guided munitions - in effect trading 9M96 rounds for incoming guided weapons. Fakel claim a single shot kill probability of 70% against a Harpoon class missile, and 90% against a manned aircraft.”

That is the best I can do at the moment (Fakel is the maker) - from: http://ausairpower.net/APA-S-400-Triumf.html
