"S-300 is an anti-aircraft weapon..."

There have been many reports with photos from Ukraine about S-300 strikes on civilians and civilian infrastructure on the ground (mostly apartments, yards and streets).

"The system can destroy ground targets at a range of 120 km (19,000 fragments or 36,000 according to various missiles). When launched against ballistic missiles, the range reaches up to 400 km.[9][72]...On 8 July, the governor of the Mykolaiv Oblast, Vitaly Kim, claimed that Russia has been using S-300 missiles in a land attack role by fitting them with GPS guidance and that some 12 missiles were fired this way.[100] On 30 September, The Wall Street Journal reported that 16 Russian S-300 missiles configured for ground attack struck near Zaporizhzhia, killing at least 30 civilians and wounding 50 others.[101][101]"

That's still BS and you know it. Russians are simply not going to WASTE AA missiles on land targets which they cannot even target with those missiles when they now have the Iranian bomb drones that are lethal, accurate,and dirt-cheap.

The ONLY people with anything resembling a reason to use AA missiles over hoho cities are the hohos. The BS YOU're attempting to spread is absolute sewage-grade BS.
