That is fascinating. Are the SA 10/12 class the most advanced Russian missiles?

Basically, double digit SAMs are bad news.

There are a number of different approaches to defeat an IADS (integrated air defense system). No one thing does it by itself. Jamming, low observable technology, decoys, stand off weapons, HARMs, and other things all role up into SEAD tactics.
