Does destroying SAM sites persist throughout the game?

I was just shot down from a SAM site that I thought I already destroyed with C4. Does destroying a SAM site persist through my game?


Solution 1:

At 164 votes at posting, this Reddit seems to imply that SAM sites respawn and that it's a nuisance.

Why do SAM sites respawn after they're destroyed? This was infuriating to deal with in the Beta. Why can I destroy them if they just come right back again?

It appears the beta version of the game had this "issue" as well.
