BEIRUT, LEBANON (7:30 P.M.) – Greece is allegedly in talks with Russia to upgrade the S-300 missile system, the Greek publication DefenceNet.gr reported this week. According to the online publication, Greece is in talks with Russia about upgrading their current S-300 PMU-1 to the S-300 PMU-2, which, the electronic newspaper said, would not violate NATO’s weapons ban against the Russian Federation. “The PMU-2 version of the S-300 brings the system quite close to performance with the Turkish S-400: It includes the 54K6E2 command and control station, the 30N6E2 Tomb Stone trapping radar (evolution of the already operating 30N6E radar) and a new version for the long-range search radar which is the NIIP 64N6E2 Big Bird,” DefenceNet said.

Clash Royale Decks: Best Guards Decks in Season 15 of Clash Royale.

Clash Royale Decks: The guards are on boost this season! So, here are some of the best guards decks and meta predictions for you in mid-ladder.Season 15 is here and with the Guards on boost, it is no wonder that these pesky little helmeted Larrys are all over the place. Everyone is using them!What meta changes will the boosted Guards cause?There is no doubt of the fact that boosted Guards will heavily influence Season 15, especially around mid-ladder. Players should expect to see a drastic reduction in Prince usage rates throughout the game. Since Guards are among the best hard counters to the card with a positive elixir trade, the change is inevitable. Likewise, Mini Pekka and Bandit use rates should also drop significantly. Both of those troops are just too inefficient at destroying the Guard shields. However, given their relatively cheaper cost, they might not suffer as much as the Prince. Poor him! On the other hand, usage rates for all splash cards across the board should rise. Players should expect to see…
