I recomennd someone reading this, any one agree.?

Any weapon is a danger. But there will always be ways to get around this as well. If you think a type of missile made from current generation technology would be threat big enough to take the US navy out of the picture, you're having a laugh.

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.

Just exactly how many different kinds of soviet weapons have promised that they could match or surpass American equipment just to get their clocks cleaned time and again?

I agree very few have lived up to the hype the one that comes to mind that is close is the Su-27 family. Again missiles, radar, and jamming, still not as good I rather be in a F-15C with AESA radar and keep the fight at mid range.

Yes but in the Sunburn's case its no idle threat. Its deadly.

Is it deadly or is that what the Russian makers say it is? Were not going to to say in public if we can or can't stop it. I'm sure it's dangerous all anti-ship missiles are but would US Navy risk putting two carrier task forces in the Gulf if we couldn't work with it a little?

mmarsh, none of the Russian hardware is idle threat. Just that in war they have normally been on the losing side (militarily).
I'm sure it's a great weapon. If the USN kinda walked into it unprepared I guess it would do a lot of hurt but again, who's to say the USN will play to the missile's strengths?

One or two are not that big of a threat, but what if they launch a swarm of anti-ship missiles? I strongly doubt you'd be able to intercept more than a few of them.

If the Russkie's strategy is to exploit our weaknesses, I'm sure that our strategists have worked out a game plan that will ensure that we don't present our weaknesses (we keep our endangered assets out of harms way and use alternative means to achieve our end.

In the meantime the old battle goes on,.... we develop fleas to infest their dog, e.g. a suitable anti missile defence. I'm sure our technology can match that of the Russkies???
