The speed of each missile is 1300 meters per second, as the system allows striking four targets at once. It also could hit land and marine targets, and is to direct its fire from mobile and fixed sites.

  1. Perhaps these systems were destroyed or were not yet operational when the Israelis, completely unscathed, pulled off their recent attack? One has to wonder.

    1. I saw a couple of articles on another site where the Russians were claiming that meteor was a U.S. weapons test.

      Nothing would surprise me these days.
