WFoL,
And they claim they can shoot down stealth.
Typical bravado coming from a nation that is looking more like North Korea than the former Soviet Union.

Even without stealth, however, Americans know how to deal with SAMs. The F-4 Wild Weasel is a perfect example of how they dealt with anti-air defenses in the past.

And the downing of an F-117 Nighthawk over Kosovo back in 1999 is a real reminder to the American military not to rely too much on stealth.

That, along with American superiority in combined arms, will be what tips the scales.

Darn the bad news, PooTin cucks!

Remember when you guys claimed that RuZZia had the best anti-air defenses in the world?
not with jets, with S400, and S500 anti-missile systems. And they claim they can shoot down stealth. That is why Erdogan cancelled his orders with the USA and ordered S400s from Russian instead even though Turkey is a NATO member.
I just had a friend inform me that Iran was already in possession of S-400 systems as of last August:

Iran receives first deliveries of S-400s from Russia’s Almaz-Antey

That means these S-400 systems were operational by the time Israel struck Iran last October:

October 2024 Israeli strikes on Iran (Wikipedia)

Wikipedia doesn't say, and no one can confirm, but it is theorized that some of the sites that were targeted included brand new S-400 systems.

Since Israel was flying F-35 jets at the time, that meant the S-400 systems failed in shooting down stealth.

Too bad for RuZZia given that each S-400 system costs over $1B (in USD).

P.S. - Iran denies receiving S-400 systems, claiming they don't need 'em: iranintl.com
