In all honesty, anyone working in SAM Sites should be clear that those are sure Death traps for all sitting in or close to them. They are always the first targets to be wiped out. And a superior attacker won't stop until the last one is wiped out. Only chance of survival: Not being SAM operator. They may take out a Fighter jet or two until their own extinction but the latter you can take for granted since the advent of Cruise missiles and precision bombs. It is about the last job I would do in Military.
