The question is stated as delivery of a "S-300 or S-400 missile system." A "system" requires all the major operational components to be delivered (search radar, targeting radar, missile launcher, command post, etc.). Regarding hiding the system, while I agree that generally you don't want to give away the exact location of your military assets, it is important to credibly signal your enemies if you expect to deter them. Most of the Iranian comments to this point are probably inward directed, to create a sense of strength in the aftermath of the nuclear deal with the West. Outward directed statements (to Israel) will come when the system is actually functioning.
Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman has figured out how to conduct interstellar trade within the confines if Einsteinian relativity. Gravity waves look like a great communication technique to add to his theory:) https://www.princeton.edu/~pkrugman/interstellar.pdf
@000, amazingly lovely music by Sophie Hunger. That was worth putting on the headphones, though I don't speak or understand a word of French, one of the commenters posted the lyrics, which seem to speak of our subject, time travel: Je n'ai pas peur de la route Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte Des méandres au creux des reins Et tout ira bien Le vent nous portera Ton message à la Grande Ourse Et la trajectoire de la course Un instantané de velours Même s'il ne sert à rien, Le vent l'emportera Tout disparaîtra Le vent nous portera La caresse et la mitraille Et cette plaie qui nous tiraille Le palais des autres jours D'hier et demain Le vent les portera Génétique en bandoulière Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphère Des taxis pour les galaxies Et mon tapis volant Le vent l'emportera Tout disparaîtra Le vent nous portera Ce parfum de nos années mortes Ce qui peut frapper à ta porte L'infinité de destins On en pose un et qu'est-ce qu'on en retient? Le vent l'emportera Pendant que la marée monte Et que chacun refait ses comptes J'emmène au creux de mon ombre Des poussières de toi Le vent les portera Tout disparaîtra Le vent nous portera
Which Google Translator awkwardly spits out as: I'm not afraid of the road Should see, we have to taste it meanders Of the small of the back and everything will be fine The wind will carry us Your message to the Big Dipper and the trajectory of the race for a moment Even velvet s it is useless, the wind will win all disappear the wind will carry us the caress and grapeshot and this wound that tears us the palace of other days yesterday and tomorrow the wind will Genetics shoulder chromosomes in atmosphere taxis for galaxies and my flying carpet the wind will carry all disappear the wind will carry us this perfume of our dead years what may knock on your door infinity of destinies we poses and what it retains? The wind will prevail While the tide And everyone I take again its accounts in the palm of my shadow Some you dust the wind will carry them all disappear The wind will carry us
Amazingly lovely still.
@cmeinel, did he get his Nobel Prize for being a smarta$$? The cartoon was cute. I really like how Frank Herbert developed his concepts of space travel in the Dune series with the Space Guild and the Navigators. Slower than light technologies just do not cut the mustard. Did the aliens and UFOs that visit Earth head out from their galaxies millennia ago? FTL (faster than light) is the only way to go. In the Dune books, the spaceship hardly moves at all, as space time is folded, now you are here, now you are there. The danger being arriving inside a quasar or an asteroid field, necessitating the prescient visions available through the rare spice. Something like our field, prediction, and gravity field generators that Lars wants so he can practice putting on his cruiser class space freighter, and the gravity wave generator that you want, will all be a part or whatever future path leads to interplanetary, intergalactic space travel. And since it will be nearer instantaneous rather than centuries, the interest will be a fraction of the enormity of the transport fees themselves. The solution would be for brokers to take the order, purchase the product themselves, deliver under contract, any interest an internal price jack to the end user anyway, a another percentage of profit for the dangers and risks of space flight to the planet bound populations.
RIP S-300s from Russia to Iran. All you folks who forecasted 0%, now it looks like it's going to be 0% forever and ever, ahh-men! Too bad we never got credit for our forecasts. @kmcochran, @GJDrew.
Dateline 3-7-16 The will-they, won't-they drama surrounding Russia's ever-in-limbo plans to sell advanced S-300 air defense missiles to Iran just got more intriguing. The Times of Israel reports on a Kuwaiti newspaper article claiming that Russia scrapped the S-300 sale to Iran thanks to Israeli evidence showing that Iran had tried to transfer other advanced air defense missile systems to Hezbollah. The report also claimed that Russian pilots noticed Hezbollah had secreted air defense systems along the border between Syria and Lebanon. Situation Report: Foreign Policy [[email protected]]
@GL2184, there is a certain subset of questions which are guaranteed to come back in Springtime, along with endless entertainment possibilities for fans of social network analysis:
Reaffirming my forecast.

@000 that's quite the top notch restoration of Casablanca http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/casablanca70thbluray.php

Мы знаем, кто стрелял в нас вниз, потому что у нас есть квитанции!
This question was hilarious, going to miss it.
Oh, @Clairvoyance, it'll be back.
@000 I don't think Vladdy wants to ruin his business with Israel. And Iran is following their pattern of a missile launch after a DPRK launch too.
