The Indian Navy has carried out the third test firing of its Dhanush nuclear-capable missile from a jury-rigged installation on the offshore patrol vessel INS Subhadra.
This is quite a radical move by Russians. Also, it can cause preemptive reaction from Israel if the systems cross into Iranian territory!! And then what?
I'm surprised no one is commenting on this story..

What is there to comment on? It is an entirely unremarkable development. Unless you happen to be an American, Israeli or Saudi-funded lunatic who wants to wage a war of aggression in violation of international law, that is.

I can only agree that there is not much to comment until we see what actually happens. Otherwise, it is probably THE most remarkable event in recent times considering S-300 is THE biggest conventional political and military chess piece a country can acquire. Specially a country that Global powers are very sensitive about, plus Israel wants to preemptively bomb. in any case it is a game changing move.
I doubt that confirmation of Iran receiving 6-12 Su-35s would be even close to significant as an asset chess piece than 5 regiments of S-300!
As you said, there are lunatics eager to wage war, and find defensive missiles to be very offensive ;-], and thats exactly why this was globally a breaking news.

It's good advertising really:
S-300: Aggressor states don't want you to have it, so it must be good. Stay strong. Buy Almaz-Antey.
