#17  That was an Israeli carrier, I think.

Funny they have to resort to cartoons. Let's see the videos of the real thing!

Below you will find a pic of the technology used to take out Syria's nuclear reactor.














Beat that, Iran! :-)

#16  And don't forget - they have *shields* over their cities.

And I didn't know Iran has carriers....

#15  The Iranian Cartoons a fully operational and foolproof except they forgot we have Mighty Mouse and Underdog in our arsenal.

#14  Iranian Air Defense System: Several Billion Dollars

HARM Anti-Radar Missile: $284,000

The look on the Iranian AD commander's face when he finds out 30 seconds into a war that none of his toys are working and we haven't played by the rules they set up:

Priceless.

#11  Air Defense...with a techno beat!
When did they get a cartoon aircraft carrier? Add ACME and Wile E. Coyote and this thing woulda had everything...

#10  I dunno, I thought it was kinda cool. Accurately shows SAM systems in action and such. Near the end there's some cool naval battles. However, Accuracy ends when the US carrier is sunk by shore-based SAMs in ground-attack mode.

#8  "My God, General! Their CGI promo clip has an early-90s techno-dance soundtrack at 165 beats per minute--played on a Fairlight! Who could have imagined the Iranians could be that hip?"

#6  Yeah, thought I had played that game before - kept waiting for the red submersable aircraft carrier to pop up and a giant spider/crab thing to crush the blue land forces.

#5  Note: I saw one of our new AA/AM missiles circle above the launch pad in order to keep the interception within the impact area. Strange sight, launch, circle, head to target, kill target. Normal launch is blinding fast.

I believe this was one of the "new weapons" shows on Military Channel.

#4  An integrated air defense system like this is why we need the B2, F-22,F-35. Until the system is cleared thru use of EW and/or bombs/missiles most of our non-stealthy AC will not be able enter the battle space. All of our long term tactics assume control of the air.

I love the A-10, BUFF, ect. but they are big fat flying coffins if there is a functions AA system still working.

#2  We should just give up now.

I was going to use my usual moniker but I prefer Omusosh the Scantily Clad.

#1  Well gee... I'm convinced it is hopeless to attack Iran now. They have missiles which can stop in mid-air, turn 90 degrees and then attack a target.

How much money was wasted on this?
