SAM systems are of limited value without an air force. Like land mines, if they are not protected, they can be taken out and rolled back.

Current SAM based air defense systems will always lose, because the aggressor can work from the perimeter inward on their own timeline and only when they are completely prepared and ready. Any Iranian general that did not know this to begin with is an idiot.

Yea, with a 20k, 26,000ft range limit on the SAMs, I was thinking the same thing. What’s the range on our radar tracking missles?
