#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.
