I'd think KKV technology would make a huge difference when it comes to miniaturization. Even an SM-3 is smaller than an S-300. Hell, even a SM-3 Block II will be smaller. Going with a KKV vs a high explosive warhead allows you to pack more performance into the same airframe. As for not really changing anything, which of their SAMs has the ability to take out a satellite? Or operate in space? Not knockin' you or anything (I know you know what you're talking about better than me ) but when you talk about systems superior to THAAD, SM-3 or GBI are you referring to Russian systems the public doesn't know about? Because I don't see it in the S-300/400.

[QUOTE="Sferrin, post: 119835, member: 7600"] I'd think KKV technology would make a huge difference when it comes to miniaturization. Even an SM-3 is smaller than an S-300. Hell, even a SM-3 Block II will be smaller. Going with a KKV vs a high explosive warhead allows you to pack more performance into the same airframe. As for not really changing anything, which of their SAMs has the ability to take out a satellite? Or operate in space? Not knockin' you or anything (I know you know what you're talking about better than me :) ) but when you talk about systems superior to THAAD, SM-3 or GBI are you referring to Russian systems the public doesn't know about? Because I don't see it in the S-300/400. [/QUOTE]
