The post-coup leaders of
Ukraine have routinely said that Ukraine should destroy Russia; and,
now, starting on February 24th, they are placing into position the key
prerequisite for doing so, which is the advanced Anti-Ballistic-Missile,
or ABM, system, S-300:
“The S-300 is regarded as one of the most potent anti-aircraft missile systems currently fielded.[3] Its
radars have the ability to simultaneously track up to 100 targets while
engaging up to 12/24/36 targets. The S-300 deployment time is
five minutes.[3] The S-300 missiles are sealed rounds and require
no maintenance over their lifetime. An evolved version of the S-300
system is the S-400 (NATO reporting name SA-21 Growler), which entered
limited service in 2004.”
The S-300 (otherwise called
“SAM C-300”) is designed to protect against retaliation. The entire
purpose of ABMs is to disable retaliation. In that sense, ABMs are the
most aggressive weapons of all. They are specifically designed to
prevent retaliation from a nation that has been attacked and that is
responding by sending in its own bombers to retaliate. [the S-300
