Israel doesn't seem to have been bothered too much by Syrian S300s. They do on paper seem dangerous, maybe there is a technical or tactical way that Israel has come to handle the threat. They may be very dangerous to an unprotected target or something that just blunders into its ideal attack envelope. Possibly becoming less effective in the face of HARM strikes - and they just don't dare switch them on.

I think a lot of the time they just don't switch them on - AFAIK Russia still maintained control of the S-300s they delivered to Syria and largely won't engage Israel.

Nah, that’s what China say they have achieved. Completely unproven in combat against a western level adversary. Funnily, Russia claimed to have an advanced, well stocked military before the “special operation”. When will they use the Su-57s in combat against Ukraine?

Which of the two countries has advanced more?
Russia or China, not so hard to answer.

There was a whole drama with Syria shooting down a Russian plane with an S-200 or something - I can't remember the ins and outs of it.

Basically an Israeli air strike went in as a Russian IL-18 ELINT platform was returning to base from a sortie over the Mediterranean, which the Syrians subsequently nailed with an S-200. The Russians allege that the Israeli F-16’s used the Illyushin as cover, while the Israelis claim it was the result of Syrian incompetence.
 
I suspect preparations for invading Iran are well under way as a means to maintain/gain support for Ukraine whilst additionally being able to increase supplies to Ukraine as production ramps up to accommodate. The justification being that Iran supported Russia and flattening them is the consequence which ought to make others think twice.

Possibility that this is in fact entirely fiction but if we're going to increase production anyway... I can see the rationale of finding a use for it.

Putins mistakes have been fairly extensive. His ultimate undoing will be believing his own BS, and always being one step behind reality. The latest being you cannot send large numbers of men to die in a war that is so clearly already lost.

You think the West are going to take on a "near peer" force that are not actively involved without active provocation, to support Ukraine? Lets flatten NK and Belarus as well whilst we are at it?

Or that Mikhail Gorbachev was right all along and survived long enough to know it.

If there's a full on nuclear world war there may not be a human race to rebuild. If by some miracle there is there will be large sections of the planet uninhabitable for a very long time to come.

We had 40 years of Cold War with multiple proxy conflicts the same or worse than Ukraine and no nuclear weapons were used.

Only have to look at the towns around Chernobyl as a study. Life will find a way, but emerging from a bunker you may find that it's still lethal to you for many decades to come.

With the corruption sucking the life out of Russia, I suspect that the rich plan involved sailing to some country.. like Dubai. If a global war started Iran would be all out attempting to nuke Dubai. A big oversight, and those that had planned on a safe bunker may find it was never even built by the contractor sunning themselves in Dubai.
