#1 From what I gather, the SAM systems are state-of-the-art... for the last century, that is. Still, it's about the best stuff the mullahs can get their hands on. It will be tremendously effective on left-leaning western journalists, no doubt, it's intended target. Against modern weapons systems, not so impressive. I'm thinking about the Syria's use of state-of-the-art Russian detection systems when Israel flew in and took out their nuclear facility. My question is, what is Putin going to do? Will he continue his slide back into cold war tactics, like threatening to send bomber(?) into Cuba, or will he back off?
