Anyone besides me doubt that the Russians sold the full system with full capabilities to a NATO country?
Kind of like we sell F-16s to Pakistan, but with not quite all the bells and whistles.

Either that or the Russians left a backdoor in the system so they can shut it down. I'd write the software so if it received a certain IFF code it would let them fire a missile but the missile would miss.

Wonder how these systems work against a swarm of 50 or so small drones loaded with high explosives? There is a Saudi oil refinery that indicates not so well. A modern version of Wild Weasel, unmanned.
