File under: Govt of Iran

#1 In a show of force, an S-300 launcher and a radar truck participated in "Army Day" celebrations in Tehran last month, and during a February military exercise, an S-300 was shown firing a missile using an Iranian-designed radar system.

...A dear, dear friend of mine worked as a strategic analyst - lost him to the 'vid just a month or two before the vaccines got here - and he once explained how the Iranians got the S-300.

RUSSIANS: "Buy this cool new missile, the S-300!"

IRANIANS: "Is it better than the S-200?"

RUSSIANS: "Of course it is - see, it has a THREE instead of a two!"

IRANIANS: "Sold!"

We laughed, but he cautioned us that it wasn't entirely off target. The guys who do their weapons purchasing have the job because they kick back enough to the Grand High Poohbah, or whatever the hell they call him, not because they know what they're talking about.

#5 Iran has relocated a number of air defense systems

Kinda like ants scurrying to defend the egg cache.
Now we know where the eggs are.
