The S-300 is entirely compromised it seems. Many times it’s just flat out been ECM’d. I think these next ones are probably not much better against ECM. The USSR/Russians never really did much combat against ECM, and they always got slammed in real combat. Often to the point where their systems were probably worse than having nothing at all.

This launch is very cool. This supersonic cruise missile does all kinds of tricks.

Smart strategic move, on the part of the Russians. The missiles might keep U.S. ships away; yet they aren’t a specific threat to the U.S., unless the U.S. becomes the aggressor, and makes the first move.

Looks suspeciously like the Indian Brahmos missile.

(Well, it should since it was a joint project...)
