....The Russian system, called the S-300, is one of the most advanced multi-target anti-aircraft-missile systems in the world today and has a reported ability to track up to 100 targets simultaneously while engaging up to 12 at the same time. It has a range of about 200 kilometers and can hit targets at altitudes of 27,000 meters.
....Neutralization of one of the main components of Russian air defense would be a blow to Russian national security as well as to defense exports. 'No country will want to buy the system if it is proven to be ineffective,' the official said. 'For these reasons, Russia may not deliver it in the end to Iran.'
