The plot thickens, if true. Israel found a way to circumvent the Syrian air defense system last year and wasted no time exploiting the advantage.

“S-300, which can simultaneously track hundreds of semi-stealth cruise missiles, long range missiles and aircraft”
And make the radar operator crap his pants.

The first sign a conventional attack us underway is when the jamming starts. Israel should start jamming four or five times a week to fatigue the defensive crews.
Of course, it would be better if the first sign of an attack was when things started exploding...

Not a problem, if there is a way to beat it, the Joooz will figure it out. They’ll be in and out of there long before the Iranian radar operators can report the incursion. You can almost bet on it.

How many planes and missiles have been brought down by this celebrated weapons system?

If the S-300 can “simultaneously track hundreds of semi-stealth cruise missiles, long range missiles and aircraft”, then I’m sure the approaching Jooos will make the necessary technical arrangements to make it thinks that is exactly what is happening. A ‘decoy-rich’ environment at the press of a button.

I’m betting this is for Iran’s benefit. The IDF knows Sun Tsu better than anyone.

To date, the S-300 system has not been used in any conflict.

Article in full
Greece has quietly assisted the Israeli Air Force in a previously unreported fashion as the dreaded decision of a possible Israeli preemptive strike against Irans nuclear facilities draws closer, this reporter has learned.
A pivotal factor in Israels military strategy against Irans nuclear installations is the recent delivery to Iran of Russias potent S-300 Russian ground-to-air radar systems. Considered one of the worlds most versatile radar-missile systems, Russias S-300 batteries can simultaneous track hundreds of semi-stealth cruise missiles, long range missiles and aircraft, including airborne monitoring jets. As many as ten intruders can be simultaneously engaged by the S-300s mobile interceptor missile batteries, military sources say. As such, the S-300 is a major threat to the long-range weapons in the Israeli arsenal. These include Israels long-range 1,500 km. nuclear-capable Jericho IIB missiles; unmanned missile-equipped long-range drones; Israels F-16s, F-15Es; long range heavy-payload F151s and F161s; and even its three new Gulfstream G550 business jets boasting a range of 6,750 nautical miles, newly outfitted with nuclear-tracking electronics and designed to loiter over or near Iranian skies for hours. The S-300 can compromise everything Israel has.
But Greece has the same Russian S-300 system.
Originally purchased by Cyprus in 1998, the Cypriot installation provoked a storm of protracted protests by Turkey because the system would make vulnerable all Turkish air movements. To resolve tensions and prevent a Turkish preemptive attack on the installations, the S-300 by international agreement was moved to Crete for safekeeping, and eventually joint-Cypriot-Greek control based on the 1993 mutual defense pact between Cyprus and Greece. On December 20, 2007, the move and installation of the S-300 was quietly completed

I am convinced that is what happened at the Syrian site, and that the Syrians and North Koreans had an uninvited visitor from Missouri.The second wave of uninvited guests arrived after the first had departed.

Much appreciated.....thanks.

Jamming is nice but it's better to throw a couple of HARMs at it.
No more radar.

So who in Iran is going to man this super duper radar system?? I doubt the Russian army is going to be in Tehran sitting at the controls. Besides, kneeling down and bending over towards Mecca 5 times a day will cause you to miss one hell of a lot of blips!

“had an uninvited visitor from Missouri”
I’ve always thought that, too.
