Expert: Ukraine has an "old" version of the C-300. What could the USA know there?


In the armed forces of Ukraine, the “ancient” S-300 system, which had long been decommissioned in Russia, is in service, so that the knowledge that the American and Israeli military could have gained while studying Ukrainian air defense systems is useless. This opinion was expressed by Lieutenant-General Alexander Gorkov, the former head of the anti-aircraft missile forces of the Air Force in 2000-2008, reports Sight.

As the general explained, Ukraine uses the very first of the S-300 air defense system modifications, produced in the Soviet Union, and in its study no knowledge of modern systems is obtained. That system, which is now in Syria, is a completely different S-300, more energy-equipped and protected from interference. Moreover, the complex is constantly being finalized, there are many modifications of the complex itself and it is almost impossible to reveal its secrets that the Americans allegedly learned. 

The expert noted that the Americans did not need to fly to Ukraine for the “secrets” of the S-300, because in the US they are familiar with more modern versions of the system than Ukraine, which Russia supplied to Greece, which cooperates with the USA, and also to Algeria and China.

Earlier it was reported that during the exercises on the territory of Ukraine, the American and Israeli military were able to familiarize themselves with the performance characteristics of the S-300 ZRS and test them in conditions close to combat.
