Appleyard:
I did said S-400, not uranium per the post you quoted.

However, Russia has long been supplying Iran with enriched uranium for civilian purposes. That is, for their nuclear power plans which Russia also helped built. The process started in 2015 following a decree signed by Putin, and has been on since that time.

You’re right if you’re talking about patriot air defence. S400 launches missiles vertically so can intercept targets from any direction.

Kingsnairaland:
Nope all systems can be overwhelmed with flying objects

So the rest will cover up for the many flying danger that approaches

LordAdam16:
Enriched uranium is a euphemism for weapons on the thread.

Mikasaobi:
Ok I get you, but you don’t need four S400 at the four cardinal points. You can place all of them in one direction to protect important things.

LordAdam16:
There is a science to it.

The S400 has three gradations.
An S400 system has eight battalions.
A battalion has 7 or 8 launchers.

India bought 5 systems.

In peace time, Crimea alone had 4 battalions.

It is critical to know exactly what Russia delivered.
A single unit, a battalion, or a system.
Crimea is heavily defended because when Ukraine takes out a radar, launcher, power unit, or whatever component of an S400 unit, there is redundancy from other launchers and battalions as well as prompt replacement of the damaged component(s).

Ideally, Iran would have several battalions for each military district, mirroring Russian deployment patterns. Western Iran will have the highest count. Tehran proper would have a dedicated battery.
But they're conducting emergency preparations.
Precisely why I opined that they need density from whatever they can procure.
They don't have the luxury of time.
China has at least 200 HQ-9 batteries.
China has already delivered an improved HQ-9B to Egypt.

The Israelis are reporting that talks are at an advanced stage for Chinese jets and ADs.
Deliveries may have commenced, as these reports are a lagging indicator, but I'm uncertain that the Persians will be able to keep it under wraps (a secret) especially if they obtain multiple batteries.

As Writer submitted, Iran needs better OpSec.
The 12D war made it seem like Iran was porous.
It wasn't at the onset. It had a tightly integrated blanket with a few deficiencies they were on track to close by end of the year.
Israel's success was in infiltrating Iran, identifying locations of the nodes, and deploying agents to take them out with ATGMs and drones.
They also had to complement this with a system-wide hack of ADs in the Western and Central military districts.

Launchers are out in remote locations.
The range of Israeli Spike ATGMs is up to 5KM.
Essentially, you have to secure a radius of up to 7KM for safety (153 square kilometers).
Around every non-overlapping installation.

Acquisition is top priority.
But you must protect them particularly from threats they're not designed to counteract.

Again, taken together, these are the reasons why the Israelis want another go as soon as this month.
Iran will steadily become a fortress the longer they wait.
A large and integrated deployment of Russian + Chinese + Iranian homegrown systems is nightmare fuel for any pilot.

Bolton: Trump doesn’t understand how nuclear navy works.

seunny4lif:
Bolton: Trump could tweet on national security at any hour. I hope someone at the Pentagon explains the nuclear force posture to him.
Our ballistic subs ensure second-strike capability, but could also be used in a first strike — the Kremlin could misread that.

But don't be afraid, Mr. Bolton, Putin knows very well that the deployment of those submarines is just to entertain the world.
Putin knows that it means nothing!!!

“Russia does not carry out preemptive strikes. We only retaliate when we are certain that an attack on Russian territory is imminent. In this scenario, we are essentially waiting for someone to use nuclear weapons against us first.
But the aggressor must understand that retaliation is inevitable—that they will be annihilated. And while we, like martyrs, will ascend to heaven, they will simply perish—without even a chance to repent” - President Putin.

“He hoped to be released by a deal.
The occupation government has decided to starve them.
They eat what we eat, they drink what we drink.
