MOSCOW - Iran has air defense systems capable of repelling possible United States air strikes, a high-ranking Russian military official said Thursday. "In line with my assessment, Iran's air defense system is strong enough," Colonel General Yury Solovyov, commander of the Air Defense Forces Special Command, said. "Currently Iran has our Russian air defense missile systems, which are capable of tackling U.S. combat aircraft. Iran also has French and other countries defense systems...
Well that’s fine, be just as happy to launch millions of tons of ordinance at them from our ships in the area and ballistic missiles. =) Have a nice day!
Now THAT’S comedy! ;-)
Of course he has to say that! They sold it to them!..............(Not good for bizness, talking down your own product!).......
The first jet in might have an interesting day.
Just a little reminder to those (liberals) who think Russia is our friend.
Launch 100 cruise missiles almost all at once and I bet at least 80% slams their target.
Memo to Col. Gen Solovyov: Ever hear of Tomahawk cruise missles?
Well, the first jet in will be coming on the heels of a lot of cruise missiles.
That's what Saddam said too.
Ha ha ha! These guys are still fighting in the 1970s! We don’t have to fly over their air defenses to take them out. Once they are removed it’ll be open season on all ground targets.
well, there’s a first for everything . . . /s
Someone needs to introduce them to Mr F22. They will never see it coming.
“combat aircraft” - are 3 waves of 500 cruise missles combat aircraft? after these 3 waves there will be no defense systems...
I for one think it’s WAY past time to find out ....
Anti-radiation munitions.
Nice radar network Iran. Turn it on and you’ll lose it.
And IIRC, Iraq had YOUR satellite jamming equipment which proved absolutely USELESS against our weapons systems.
Saddam said the following during the buildup to the Gulf War: “We will pluck out their eyes! We will burn the soil under their feet!”
Oh-kee-doh-kee.
Btw, when was the last time the Russkies launched a huge air atrike against an enemy bristling with tons of triple-A and SAMs?
yeah, first jet in...ea-6b, and that alone will render the whole anti-aircraft net useless.....have a nice day, abba-dabba-dingdong
Baghdad Bob has a Russian uniform now.
