#5 Israel has been killing these for years in Syria and Ukraine has gotten very good at taking them out with drones too. This is just a donation of future scrap metal.

#6 This is kinda like the way the US sends equipment past it's 'use by' to Ukraine; it's the cheapest way to dispose of it, and some of it still works.

#10 Is this as good as the S400 or S300?

It is the point defense against rockets and drones to protect the S300/400 so similar, but different job. Both systems work great against 1980s fighters and technology and have shot down a lot of them.

However against modern systems they have proven to suck and be way, way, way behind the power curve.
