Isreal, the USA and NATO have had 2 decades to examine multiple S-300 versions and come up with countermeasures. The East Germans, Czech/Slovaks, Ukraine and others brought all their toys with them (minus nukes) when they left the Warsaw Pact.

Won't be a cakewalk, but I'm thinkin' the S-300 radar systems and missiles can be neutralized.

Reason why the Russkies use S-400s.

Probably reasonably easy to defeat with drones and a decent strategy.

I agree … S-300s have been around for awhile. I think our ever evolving tech would prevail. Hopefully we won't have to find out.
