Now the world once more gets to see how poorly Russian military equipment performs. You’d think they’d have learned their lesson by now.

A few months back a missile from a S-300 launched in Syria (supposedly launched at an Israeli jet) blew up over Cyprus. Look at the map. I’m quite sure the system is designed so if a missile misses its tracked target it detonates as to prevent that from happening. It was a bigger fail than most people realize.

Doesn’t help when a good part of your work force is drunk on the job. Alcoholism is endemic in Russian society.

Doesn’t score well, true. Unlike all that billions in Raytheon gear which worked so well for Saudis recently.
