...Israel gets Raptors, you can be certain that it is Uncle Sam who will be meeting most of the costs involved.==
Grab you wallet and you know what to do. Some day Uncle Sam will bankrupt himself.
Russia lets US to spend zillions of money for F-22 fleet then come up with the counter measure which renders them off.
Very simple. F-22 is very seen on the santimeter radio band. Agreed? So if you creates the sensitive reciver antenna then you can have the good radar in santimeter band which will see those F22s as the birds in clear sky. So all zillions of US dollars will go to toilet.
Israel does not need F-22 to defeat this system. From the article
The S-300 anti-aircraft missile defense system is capable of shooting down aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missile warheads at ranges of over 90 miles and at altitudes of about 90,000 feet. Russian military officials boast that its capabilities outstrip the US Patriot missile system.Just 29 missiles for $700M? That's $24M each. All Israel has to do is to put together and launch 29 cheap Air Launched Cruise Missiles at the sites, with the launching planes operating from just out of SAM range, and force the Iranians to use up their missiles against ALCMs that are much cheaper than the Tor missilesEarlier this year, Russia delivered 29 Tor-M1 to Iran under a $700 million contract signed in December 2005.
