S-300
Everything you wanted to know about the S-300P SAM, from geimint:
The S-300P family of strategic SAM systems represents one of the most capable collections of air defense assets in the world. The first variants, coded SA-10A GRUMBLE by Western intelligence agencies, heralded in a new level of complexity and capability for the then-Soviet SAM forces. The SA-10A and subsequent SAM systems were so potent that they were referred to as "double digit" SAM systems by Western military arms, a moniker stemming from their Western identifiers, denoting their increased lethality over their predecessors. This lethality has made the S-300P series of SAM systems highly sought after commodities on the export market.
