Russia Tests S-400 Air Defense System, Destroys All Designated Targets
Russia Tests S-400 Air Defense System
Why isn’t George Bush screaming that America views this as a direct threat and that it wasn’t instant and unlimited access to the Russian Missile Defense Technology as Putin has done with America’s own missile defense systems?
Russia has successfully conducted the first live firing tests of its new S-400 Triumf air defense complex at a testing ground in southern Russia.
“The exercise was a success,” the Air Force press service said in a statement. “The system destroyed all designated targets.”
The S-400, codenamed the SA-21 Growler is a new air defense missile system developed by the Almaz Central Design Bureau as an upgrade of the S-300 family.
It has been designed to intercept and destroy airborne targets at a distance of up to 400 kilometers (250 miles), or twice the range of the U.S. MIM-104 Patriot, and 2.5 times that of the S-300PMU-2.

Simple…because the people who “pull George’s strings” aren’t pulling the SCREAM strings right now! He’ll probably just invite Vlad back here for another visit at the ranch, look into his eyes, and realize, once again, that this is a man he can trust!
