Likely more effective than youd expect.

Yeah, that's what Saddam thought too. He also had thousands upon thousands of Russian Air Defense missiles. Turns out their best use is as targets for US forces.

I ain't cheering this horseshit either. I'm deeply against what Trump is doing against Venezuela but the reality is those Russian Air Defense missiles may as well be hot air balloons.
