Russia has reportedly moved some elements of its formidable S-500 air defense system to Crimea. After successful Ukrainian attacks on the S-400 missile system, questions are being raised about whether Russia is exposing its still combat-untested, cutting-edge resource by putting it in the possible range of Ukrainian strikes.

Russia is known to have just one active S-500 regiment, comprising just two battalions with two air-defense batteries each. Details of what elements have been moved are not clear. Air-defense systems of this type have several operational components, including command posts, radars, and launchers.

The Russians are superior to our Cold War I era patriot system already.

Right, and the S-400 was supposed to be superior to the Patriot, on paper, then we saw them actually in action.

NOT A PROBLEM.

We don’t need no AIR DEFENSE because WE ARE AMERICA and thus our aircraft are INVINCIBLE!!!!

Now, on to World War 3!!!

“We have lasers and Iron Dome for that.”

Good one!!!!

“The U-235 Iranian uranium would be hard to detect if the Iranians tried to smuggle it in so they could vaporize much of the District of Columbia.”

And you point is?

You and your fantasies.

[Agatsu77]

Hardspun, do you know ANYTHING about detecting Special Nuclear Material?

Until then how about you keep your stupid opinions to yourself and stop trying to scare people talking about stuff you know nothing about.

Defensive systems get better over iterations. They aren’t perfect though, and can have weak spots or be overwhelmed.

[Lurker]

They’re no more bizarre than yours.

Remember ATACMS? You know, the best we have. Where’s all the damage from those HUNDREDS of ATACMS the Ukes have wasted? Oh yeah, typical attack yesterday. Five ATACMS launched, four shot harmlessly down, one hit and destroyed over a beach, killing civilians.

Actually, the US is deploying a replacement, the Precision Strike Missile And you are making up numbers on the effectiveness of the ATACMS using KGB propoganda

[hardspunned]

Where is your Ukrainian/NATO visual proof of ATACMS damage? If it exists, the U.S. has images and they ALWAYS push them over at your media masters’ feeding trough. Where are the Uke Patriots? We know how many were sent. They have been eliminated. No? The Ukes haven’t even made a claim of downing a Russian plane in months. Those FABs, they’re all air launched with impunity. Did the boom boom fairies destroy the Uke power grid? Stop stooging for the MIC, Congress doesn’t need any additional help.

[SpirituTuo]

Certainly lessons are learned by iteration, however, Russian overstatement of capabilities is historic.
