It comes down to good old fashioned arms escalation. Great for the weapons industry. The problem isn't with being able to contend with the anti aircraft system. We have means to identify their locations and destroy them. They may knock down some aircraft for awhile, but eventually they are neutralized. The problem with the S-300 is they have a long range, over 120 miles. That means they can target and surprize US aircraft flying over the Gulf, Iraq and even Afghanistan. It give the operator the option of shooting at aircraft outside of their territory. That equates to genuine arms escalation. The Iranians would be getting advanced weapons that allow them to attack outside of their borders.
If you can easily locate and destroy them, then I don’t see almost any problem at all. If you send, for example, two F-15’s to fly over Iraq and the Iranians decide to shut them down and they eventually shut them down by means of S-300, then you simply locate the positions of the S-300’s and destroy them. Right? Of course, you will lose two F-15’s and it is a pity. But you will be able to endure it, I hope.
The S-300 is mobile mounted. Not sure your scenario with the F-15's would work unless they were being escorted by a Growler and attack aircraft like the F-35 or strike system that could reach the target within minutes.
Everyone who deems Iran or anyone else with the S-300 aq threat will want the Growler to go along with the F-35. Russia needs money to flow into it's defense industry. The US might like more funds to flow into the US defense industry, but the US isn't in desperate need the way Russia is.
The S-300 has not been battle tested against the west, specifically NATO and the US. Until it is, it will be hotly debated. I'm betting the west will win if and when they do.
that "MOBILE MOUNTED" thing is perfect for the Islamic way of war-----
to wit >>> shoot from baby nurseries an mosques and then RUN

I don't think this tactic can be used with S-300’s. The S-300 isn’t a homemade mortar which can be easily and stealthily transported. Moreover, the system is precious enough to be left without regret.
then why are they mounted on trucks? The mounted thing was the method
used by Hezbollah in their attack on Israel in ??? Uhm I think it was 2006.
the launchers mounted on trucks that was located in the area south of the Litani
river were not "homemade"-----the bombs were of the nail type----devoted to
knocking the brains out of children-----but not really "homemade"

Because the system is very large and has a great weight and therefore can’t be transported without trucks. But it is a completely different thing, considering its ability, from Hezbollah’s launchers.

F-35's are just fighter jets. They don't have the gas tank large enough to allow them to reach Iran. You need long range bombers for that and Israel doesn't have any of those.Sale of the S-300 to Iran will automatically trigger sale of F-35's to Israel. The F-35 is thought to be able to neutralize the S-300. If nothing else, the S-300, like other anti aircraft systems, can be over burdened and overcome with drones and cruise missiles.
Or defend them from bullshit invaders?It comes down to good old fashioned arms escalation. Great for the weapons industry. The problem isn't with being able to contend with the anti aircraft system.

The F-35 is multirole aircraft.F-35's are just fighter jets. They don't have the gas tank large enough to allow them to reach Iran. You need long range bombers for that and Israel doesn't have any of those.
thanks for the link-----I still don't like it-----it provides a Shiite advantage in the
coming war
Do you think the war is inevitable? Between Iran and Israel? Or between Iran and the US?
The system threatens both military and commercial aircraft flying over the Persian Gulf
I do not know where historians will place the start of the war----which IMO---is
ongoing right now. -------In a very general sense it is a Shiite vs Sunni war.
The Shiite leader is Iran Hezbollah is iran ----the objective, for starters, is
Saudi Arabia ---the sunni leader

Can the F-35’s be placed on an aircraft carrier being used by the US Navy and which is able to reach the Persian Gulf?
This is s defensive system, only used to destroy targets invading Iranian airspace.
There is absolutely no need to care about it ... unless you wish to attack Iran.
and yet the meccaist dogs and bitches complain INCESSANTLY about
the "IRON DOME" defense system

Please post any threats or actual shooting downs of any civil aircraft in that region by Iran.
why??
Ergo, we had and have a responsibility to vacate both Iraq and Afghanistan?

Seriously, have you considered talking to a shrink?
You're ill in the head.

Actually, you had a responsibility not to invade those places at all.
