I read it and it's interesting but the article leaves out a lot of important facts which aren't covered. The technology used in the first Gulf War in 1991 to combat Scuds has improved. The US Navy missile defenses have improved as well I do think they are threat, any anti-ship missile is threat and should be treated as such. The technology to see and pick up Iran's preparing these and other missiles greatly improved which is the key. I assume US Naval assets in the area have targets pre-planned as well and in minutes can launch as well. I can't prove it but like to feel that US Navy assets can jam some of these missiles as well. Let face it US technology generally figures out most of Russia's weapons and technology, I think US forces will do well here to. I'm not saying no missiles will get through but not the hundreds and hundreds this article talks about. Large portions of these Iranian launching sites will never have the chance to fire twice. Mainly judging by most Middle Eastern nations I don't feel Iran has hundreds and hundreds of trained personnel to fine targets under heavy jamming, armed the weapons, and fire these weapons. I feel Iran's defenses are on or about the same level as Syria's and the Israeli's and US would have little trouble dealing with that. I think the situation will change quickly when weapons start hitting them on a wide spread level. It's a difficult subject to disgust because you don't know all the facts involved or even basic who has what and where. US Armed Forces aren't going to announce where and how many different weapon platforms are pointed at Iran. It's like a Friday night in a big city you never know how many cops are on duty, but there's more then you think.
