I named my sources. If you dont know basic radiophysics, which is not that hard to understand even for amateurs - thats your problem.

Accuracy isnt critical. S-300 is detonated semi-manually, and payload blast radius is up to 500 meters, its not designed to hit the target 100% of time.

That is so. However, if the warheads are changed to nukes - they will be able to reach Moscow in under 2 minutes, which is fastest ever, hoping for a chance that there will be no time to react.
What, you believe that USia actually have enough decency and morality to NOT install the nukes ? Yeah, right.

No you didn't. You gave me a general search topic, and basically told me to have at it. You gave no specifics on where you pulled your information from, specifically that Russian radars can pick up American stealth aircraft. That isn't how a debate works.

It still has to be able to get within 500 meters of a fast moving target. That is going to be extremely hard to do it that missile is using low frequency radar as targetting guidence.

Why though? That is redundant. We already have missile systems deployed that can deliver a nuke within that amount of time.

Besides, IIRC, we don't have nukes on the European continent anymore.

On the missiles intended for this particular weapon system? Yes, I do.

So, basically, it's flak?

Yay WWII technology!

Um, this is just silly.

We're talking about a surface to air missile system here, not a surface to surface system. The warheads are much smaller than those in a ground attack missile.

So even if the "USia" (whoever the heck they are) were to install "nukes", you're not talking about a weapon that can be used to attack Moscow to any meaningful effect.

Weapons proliferation is silly, and I blame the silly anthropoid for starting it.

Yeah, of course not Moscow. I support your outlook, man. Anything but Moscow. Why those commies freak when all we need is to deter Iran's nukes 125 years from now. That's when I'm talking prevention! Smart and care for the people of the USA? Matt?

their suggestion regards placement in one of the lower stans does not hold water from a targeting standpoint, they would be to close to the possible launch sites...
