[Jerusalem Post] Yaakov Katz - If Russia delivers its most advanced anti-aircraft missile system to Iran, Israel will use an electronic warfare device now under development to neutralize it and as a result present Russia as vulnerable to air infiltration, a top Israeli defense official told the Jerusalem Post. The Russian S-300 system has a reported ability to track up to 100 targets simultaneously while engaging up to 12 at the same time at a range of about 200 km. The defense official said, "no one really knows yet if and when Iran will get the system." "No country will want to buy the system if it is proven to be ineffective.... For this reason, Russia may not deliver it in the end to Iran."
