#2 Again, IMO NUKE-HAPPY ISLAMIST IRAN is more likely to hold out agz international sanctions than NORTH KOREA, as Iran doesn't have any pics of SKELETAL KIDDIES, CIVIE ADULTS, + most recently DPRK SOLDIERS as per MSM-Net reports. IFF CORRECT, ECON = FOOD TROUBLES IS STARTING TO "CREEP/AFFECT" MIL UNITS OR ELEMENTS WHICH KIMMIE + REGIME MUST RESOLVE ASAP LEST TO THEIR DETRIMENT.

#3 Good---the more "sophisticated" it is, the more vulnerable to EW.

#4 I'm guessing it's this: HQ2, a Chinese upgraded SA-2.
China Quietly Defends Iran
While Iran has been unable to get modern Russian S300 surface-to-air missiles (yet), they have gone ahead and built a nationwide air defense network using Chinese HQ2 missiles. These were first purchased in the 1980s, but since then, Iran progressed to the point where they are now building HQ2 missiles and radar stations under license. It's believed that China has quietly allowed Iran to build the latest versions of the HQ2 as well. These are not quite as effective as the S300, but are pretty formidable.

#5 Wonder how effective it will be against 500 pre-programed Reapers released at the same time?

#6 Or a mix of 1500 Drones/Reapers. Let them try to decide which to shoot down or ignore.
