The S-300 deployment time is five\u00a0minutes.[3]\u00a0The S-300 missiles are\u00a0sealed rounds\u00a0and require no\u00a0maintenance over their lifetime. An evolved version of the S-300 system is the\u00a0S-400\u00a0(NATO reporting name\u00a0SA-21\u00a0Growler), which entered limited service in 2004.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The S-300 (otherwise called \u201cSAM C-300\u201d) is designed to protect against retaliation. The entire purpose of ABMs is to disable retaliation. In that sense, ABMs are the most aggressive weapons of all.
