Russian Missile System Sold to Iran Problematic, But Not Most Advanced
[Ynet News] Ron Ben-Yishai - The S-300 system's radar is capable of spotting about 100 targets and addressing 12 of them simultaneously. Its missiles are capable of hitting aircraft that are more than 150 kilometers away. However, the Russians apparently sold the export model of the system, S-300pmu 1, which is less sophisticated and boasts inferior performance compared to the system's newest model. S-300 systems of the model sold to Iran were also sold to China, India, and Cyprus, and Turkey is about to receive the same system from the Russians.
