Both sides use them due to their wide availability and high efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts say that because of a shortage of high-precision weapons in Russia, its engineers repurpose S-300\/S-400 missiles for strikes against ground targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 29, BPN.
