"A ceremony will be held in the antiaircraft missile regiment of the 4th Air Force and Air Defense Army of the Southern Military District on January 14 for the command post and the S-400 Triumf battalion to assume combat duty," the press office said.
The armament of the Guards Sevastopol-Feodosiya antiaircraft missile regiment was replenished with the advanced S-400 air defense systems in 2016. The regiment’s personnel successfully underwent re-training and held missile test launches as part of the Kavkaz-2016 strategic command and staff exercises in August last year.
The S-400 complex is designated to destroy all types of modern and perspective aerospace attack means. It is capable of hitting aerodynamic targets at a range of up to 400 kilometers (249 miles) and tactical ballistic targets flying at a speed of 4.8 km/s (3 mi/s) at a distance of up to 60 kilometers (37 miles) at altitudes of several meters to several dozen kilometers.

Sounds like they are expecting attacks from somewhere.... just as Trump becomes President.

Would the liberals like to re-think their screams that Trump and Putin are such good friends?

Russia slams Kiev’s plans to hold missile launches over Crimea as ‘provocation’ (http://tass.com/politics/915535)

"We’ve got a reply, but it cannot be said that it satisfies us. We continue to correspond with each other," Sokolov said.
The Ukrainian armed forces on December 1 held a missile launch exercise over the Black Sea near Crimea. Originally, the intention was to hold the exercise in Russia’s sovereign airspace, but Ukraine later moved the missile exercise area west of the peninsula.
Earlier, Sokolov said that Russia had taken all necessary measures in connection with Ukraine’s plans for conducting the firing practice off the peninsula.

Great. For what? To defend against a Metallica song .. The Day That Never Comes? Y'all are such goofs. Gearing up for a war that isn't going to happen.

How much is enough? We got enough crap in Europe and the Middle East to take you off the map a thousand times over. Why do you take so much pride in unnecessary escalation?

Here's a newsflash for YOU ... we've let you sit over there and rot since before we were even a country.

Gunny. I suppose, since Balu is so far behind catching up with reality. Balu has no idea that our DEFENSIVE Systems even exist.

So. Here's some entertaining info Balu should enjoy....
