The S series has gotten a lot of free publicity in the newspapers while encirclement fears provided the rest of this…weapons promotional campaign by the Duma(s). S-300 or 400 who cares, the Ruskies have all the bases covered. In the way back machine, it was Secretary Lebed who, after the fall of the former Soviet Union, lorded over all nuclear stockpiles in Russia and was responsible (during a one year period in office) for their accounting. He estimated more than one hundred of those small explosive devises (SADM or MADM our jargon equivalent) suitcase nukes could not be found. The strengths anywhere between a tenth to one kiloton+ each. So regardless of the new technology, the (back up) plans are probably hidden near all the major financial districts in Europe and America. You can’t make this stuff up! one need only read articles by Pennsylvania Congressman Kurt Weldon concerning suitcase nukes.
