NATO has experience with s300 so I wouldn't imagine that making much difference. They have had combat exercises in France and Germany where the Slovak Air Force brought S-300 missiles. I'm no expert at all but they seem to be mobile and mounted on big or small trailers with a generator and engagement radar. Shouldn't be much problems identifying and taking out those as they typically towed with the now familiar 8-wheeled truck?
