Thanks, Roger, for the follow up and the excellent reporting. Check it out folks: rdanafox: Iranian missile systems.
Peace, friends.
The Tor M-1 is pretty good, 3 seconds from target aqqisition to firing, my next blog will be on the S-300, which looks to be MUCH better than the Patriot 2/3, and can shoot down a ballistic target from 100 miles out.. Dont forget Serbia shot down an F-117 with a soviet SAM, in 1999. It seems the older long wave radar is pretty good at seeing "stealth".
From the Mountainous coast of Iran, they are looking down at the Persain Gulf. Iran could bloody our nose, if it came to it.
Iran CnC, yes, the Sunburn missile is good, in a dive its mach 4.5. Defensive Harpoons & sparrow missiles are both subsonic, leaving the Phalynx point defense gun but 3 seconds to aquire and fire at a Sunburn. I could see 5 or 10 Sunburns overwhelming US defenses, & Hitting a carrier right good,
A bit more background

I dont trust the Bush Cabal to get it right. A sea based attack from the Persian Gulf is stupid. I would put carriers and subs in the Gulf of Oman/Indian ocean. More importantly, I dont think we have the tools to do squat to anything 1000 ft under rock, blow up the entrances/doors, thats it.
Vigilance,
Roger
