It really isn't the missiles Russia is worried about. Becuase only a few missiles are being deployed. It's the Radar system that can see everything going on deep into Russia. But if Russia doesn't want us to build it there then fine. They can agree not to deploy S400 and S500 anti missile...
The F-22's are much more then just advanced fighters being deployed. They are symbols of US technological ability and power that have most major militaries of the world wanting to mimic them. This deployment is meant as a message to the Iranians ahead of the June meeting. I'm sure the Iranian...
Its technology would have military applications. Imagine a bomber that can reach any part of the world in no more then 4 hours. Or even drop its payload from space.
Russia isn't going throw in it's lot with Iran. There really isn't much in it for them to risk their forces on such a large scale. Especially if Iran attacks the GCC countries. Also it takes time and massive transport ability to move the forces that would be needed. Most of Iran’s...

The SM-6 is also a great missile agianst both cruise missile and aircraft. Though slower at around Mach 3.5 its classified range is said to be much greater then the SM-2 of about 90mi, 144km.
I have had my fair share of contact with Iranians. Some that have been able to leave and those that still live there. I have not met one yet that doesn't hate the draconian oppression the mullahs and thier proxy the Basij inflict on them.
any chemical and biological attack on Isreal or the US and GCC would most likely have a nuclear response. However I doubt Iran will do that since thier allies in the region would be on the recieving end of those same bio/chem missiles.
Syria is to busy with it's own troubles right now. They are...

Sea skimming cruise missiles can be detected from over the horizon. And Missiles such as the SM6 which are now deployed can hit them over horizon. Currently only the U.S. and Australia have the SM6.
There is as much weapon, and electronic warfare defence that goes on underwater as above water. These defenses are more tightly held secrets (capability wise) then you see with other systems. the best defense though is to detect and kill the sub before it can get in range. This has been a...
South Korea has reached out many times with aid, and investment. and everytime North Korea has bitten the hand helping it. This has caused the South and most of the rest of the world to harden its position. Even China right now is not real happy with its neighbor though it will do nothing since...
