Even though the system can be regarded as thoroughly exploited it still poses a threat to large ISR and C3I assets. Keeping a recon craft or an AWACS in a constant threat environment is a clever move.<br />Plus as far as I've read in other sources there are a couple of developments for possible new kill vehicles for the S-200 in the works.Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165290376032593437.post-84777052394214015402010-05-28T13:26:12.594-04:002010-05-28T13:26:12.594-04:00There were some press reports in October 2009 abou...There were some press reports in October 2009 about Ukraine planning to reactivate two S-200 sites. I can't find a full article but this is a quote from a Ukrainian newspaper:<br />"Ukraine's military leadership has made a decision to enhance the country's air defense forces. It has to do with the deployment of at least two new positional districts for the S-200V Vega air defense missile complexes in addition to the four existing ones."<br />Will be inteesting to see what comes out of this.<br />/PPS860https://www.blogger.com/profile/02789295543743726741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165290376032593437.post-56816839628092849972010-03-31T09:21:24.150-04:002010-03-31T09:21:24.150-04:00I can drive all the locations you want and take pi...I can drive all the locations you want and take pictures of some. I have already some of that places in my collection. I want just sharing of gas for the places wich is far away from Kiev or if the place is working SAM location.

I've been waiting for an analysis of Ukraine's SAM network for some time now. <br /><br />Just by looking at the overall coverage and the ability to move SAM systems around to empty prepared sites, it seems like any aggressor nation would have their hands full with neutralizing the Ukrainian network. Even in a place as small as, say, Crimea. Clearing out the SAMs covering that airspace would certainly present a daunting task.<br /><br />And, one not-so-minor nitpick... The term "The Ukraine" is incorrect. The name of the country is Ukraine. There is no "the." <br /><br />Fantastic work, SOC!CayceGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165290376032593437.post-20612789209585741392009-07-24T22:30:10.188-04:002009-07-24T22:30:10.188-04:00hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just vi...hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
