Of course Iran's variety of advanced SAMs will cause casualties to the US. However, it is a mistake to think that it will slow the Americans down much. In any attack on Iran scenario, it is highly likely that the USAF will hit the Iranians with all the electronic assets that it can bring to bear. Secondly SAM sites will be targeted with Tomahawks, then SEAD missions. To survive this the Iranians will probably turn off their radar. But if this happens, the Americans have won. Of course, the Iranians can use the "Serbian technique" and turn their radars on and off which will get them some kills but that will not result in the kind of casualties that would stop the USAF/N.
(On March 21st, 1968, less than a year after the shining victory of the Six Day War, the IDF raided the Fatah high command a band of crude guerilla fighters in the village of Karameh in Jordan.
They were all present, all the stars of the victory: The paratroopers under Danny Mat, the 7th Brigade commander Shmuel Gonen (Gorodish), and the paratrooper commando unit under Matan Vilnai. The operation was run by Central Command Chief Major-General Uzi Narkis, who captured Jerusalem.
The defense minister at the time was reservist Lieutenant General Moshe Dayan and not Amir Peretz.
Remember how it ended? The IDF retreated quickly (a nice expression for escaping by the skin of their teeth), battered and bruised with 28 dead and three missing (namely, corpses left behind in the battlefield). The forces also left behind four tanks, which were put on display in the streets of Amman. An Israeli aircraft was hit and crashed inside Israeli territory.)
ur all true in all the way but.... its only scenario ,first how does the american search for those active radar site. awacs, prowler or hawkeye aircraft....plus airborne jammer , so lets iran turn flash out a few tin can(its an old soviet radar ) radar signature plus 100 decoy around its mountain in the north ( common sense moutains or hills perfect for bunker) so these big slow moving radar tracker track the signal+ s or c band noise jammer ,scrambling 100 aircraft from the bases in qatar or the aircraft carrier . the passive radar with cold water based battries (from sub tech) in ishafans small small gulfll near to water position with few waves (sea water kown to effect radar tracking perfomence ) trace the signal from the aew jammer radar . giving the coordinat to the pasive anti radar+jammer missile batteries mouted in trucks..
the fires 3 missile based on TOO module (target of oportunity) within 30 km range of target open its own home jam radar ,the the aew aircraft witl be damage and must land for repair...by that time some of the 100 aircrat sead team will near 45 km from tehran ,without the aew to coordinate them, they are force to seach the radar by rwr, but the iran deploy their iff jammer ( dated 1950ies used by hizbollah to disturb IAF) the 100 aircraft counter it ther own airborne jammer, passive radar detects , a volley of these passive anti jamer + radiation radar break the 100 formation then try to dodge those missile,a few tor-mi on its real radar ,ambush these aircrat ( coz the 100 aircraft have already shut down their ecm or eccm capabilities (remember aircraft can only avoid 1 type of tracking method at 1 time) so the fortunate aircraft try to zigzag with nap on earth in the hills to the south without sar radar try to fly to their base back but in their pprojected path( using cell phone or walkie talkie by spooter@villagers thacking by sound or flash to the aa battery waiting them are manpads plus 27-35 mm anti aircraft gun) . In the CNN that after 7 am in the morning day breaking news ,iran manage to shot down 1 f/a-18 hornet using their 14.5 mm quad canon aa gun on a truck by fighters from iraq insurgents group link to iran near the iraqi borders. but by quick response csar team they manage to save the pilot and the navigator but Western media reported no enemy killed in these operations, 28 civilians killed, and 50 civilians wounded.a Marine officer says to media in a press conf. ..its only a hipothesis coz like i said the best weapon is how u know the best use of ur weapon effecively in battle field condition(thats include media)
pre emptive attack its not the best but deterrent is the best defence
pre emptive attack its not the best but deterrent is the best defence
iran revolution guards in small RIB inflatable boats teams will try to shoot us aircraft carrier warship using RPG-7VM in volleys using shot and scoot tactic ..... the USN wil try to shot them back using m60 7.62 mm machine guns on their heli or warship , ircg fight back using Dhsk or RPK mg or MANPADS SA-7 ..... try that for a laugh.......wah hahhahhahahahha its true actually:roll: :roll: :roll:
