If this goes ahead, we have Russia’s S-400 system in Syria and Turkey and the S-300 in Iran and Turkey. There were also talks of Saudi Arabia purchasing.

Shorter term: I wonder if the sales cover the cost of the war in Syria for Russia?
Longer term: I wonder too at the geopolitical shift this implies: is the Middle East “mess” becoming Russia’s to manage while some in the West seem to be weaning themselves off the oil economy?
Yeh. Isreal’s going to be happy about that.. They won’t be able to smack down Eygpt again if the Russians put S400’s all over Syria..I think that Putin will sell the s400s to Assad (the Lion.. :)) and then just ‘forgive’ his war-debt again.. that way he gets Russian tech blocking off NAZI sorry.. NATO (it was the NA..)advancement. The Muricans are not going to be happy.. now they won’t even get 50 percent hit rate on their cruise missiles.. even if Raytheon is re-designing and updating all nuclear delivery cruise systems.. (something somewhere has them scared.. they don’t think that they’re the biggest loudest ape on the branch anymore..)
