SA-10 Grumble
The
S-300P (transliterated from
Russian С-300П,
NATO reporting name SA-10 Grumble) is the original version of the S-300 system which became operational in 1978.
[1] In 1987, over 80 of these sites were active, mainly in the area around Moscow. The
P suffix stand for
PVO-Strany (country air defence system). An S-300PT unit consists of a
36D6 (NATO reporting name
TIN SHIELD) surveillance radar, a 30N6 (
FLAP LID) fire control system and 5P85-1 launch vehicles. The 5P85-1 vehicle is a
semi-trailer truck. Usually a 76N6 (
CLAM SHELL) low altitude detection radar is also a part of the unit.
Do read 1978 model and what tech was Rafale using? 2010 ???? Haahahaha, like I said,, wonderful, France can achieve "great victory" when using its top weapons against antiquated Soviet Era AD system and then say it with pride.
So, if F-16C failed against it, then its porblem of the American, now the French are going to compare Rafale to F-16C ??? hahahahaha how the mighty are falling
How many Rafale shoot down? zero. Spectra send false target location to Lybian radar.....
MACE : it was a SA10 missile site. 2 decades old tech? I'm not sure. And the other planes, like a dedicated F16CJ failed....
