@AmirIGM seems to also agree that micro damage was likely at the S-300 site.
Beyond Iran not enforcing a redline (one issue), is the lack of strategic planning around one of Iran’s most limited and precious assets (S-300).
Again beyond the trivial ‘who hurt who more’ type fanboy arguments going on social media. I hope IRGC takes necessary steps to address this issue in future. It should continue to strive to build a dense air defense multi layered network.
I hope this also opens fellow members eyes about the necessity of airbrone interceptors to protect the IADS. Now while this system has a back up radar, in war if you lose your radars you are left with have of expensive steel and junk (launchers) that cannot do anything. So protecting our limited quantity of long range systems is essential.
This should also serve to remind those that think Iran’s air defense shield cannot be overwhelmed. The best way to protect an air defense shield is to limit the number of attack lanes open to your opponent. That can only be done in combination with powerful airforce interceptors keeping the skies of Iran clear as well support systems (EW systems, Jammers, SHORADs, optical automated guns) protecting the most vital assets (Bavar, Arman, S-300, etc).
