#1 This must be a recent model. I'm sure there is no shortage of former S-300 operators here in America. I know a number of Russians who used to operate some pretty fancy stuff before their immigration papers came through.

#2 ZF---I am certain that that is part of the point. You can get an idea of the capabilities by talking to an operator. But you can only learn to effectively spoof if you have a working model to spoof, while checking all variables.

#4 LOL! Looks like the US stiffed the Arms dealer.

If true, find out who did this and put him in charge of CIA Foreign operations.
