If the Russians choose to ship S300

22. It's usually pretty easy to get around a single weapons system.

I think the model for this is the Argentinian's use of the Exocet missile with Etendard planes in the Falkland Island war. Had it been allowed to continue, it would have been a game changer. The Brits took it out with special operations missions against the planes while they were on the ground.

This is why you need several integrated systems. An S300 or S400 SAM system combined with good AAA batteries and with a good army and armored units and a good Air Force is a serious threat.

If you have multiple pieces missing, a top tiered military like the US, China or Russia can eliminate a single dangerous system easily.

Right off the top of my head I can think of two options. First, like the Brits did in the Falklands, insert spec ops teams to destroy them. Or second, send stealth aircraft who can destroy them without ever being detected.
