On the opposite side of the "
spectrum" since at least June of last year Russia has been using their active versions of the
S-300 to attack land targets by
adding a GPS component to the warhead.

(This from Belarus in OCT. 2011.)
Also, since about December last year, the same has been adapted for the
S-400 series
both of which provides for a long-range capability of at least
120-150km or more depending on missile type used. The
S-400 missiles can hit targets out to
400km.

The same has been adapted for the Russian Navy launched
Anti-Ship missiles this to would only require a
minor reconfiguration to be made.
The accuracy would fall in the category of "
Close enough for Government Work" against
soft targets in a wider space "
bombardment" mode.
And of course, this causes for us further headaches. Brought to us by the Russians due to the
shortages in multiple type Land Attack missiles.
The "
coin" does have two sides.

I like the use of what appears to be a
non-descript delivery truck. MOST EXCELLENT!
The

We're doing the same now,
