Actually according to its specifications 25 meters is its starting engagement zone. SO cruise missiles or weapons launched outside of the detection zone are no issue. A helicopter such as a Apache can fly below its engagement zone.
Teh S-300 uses a doppler radar correct?
In military airborne applications, the Doppler effect has 2 main advantages. Firstly, the radar is more robust against counter-measure. Return signals from weather, terrain, and countermeasures like chaff are filtered out before detection, which reduces computer and operator loading in hostile environments. Secondly, against a low altitude target, filtering on the radial speed is a very effective way to eliminate the ground clutter that always has a null speed. Low-flying military plane with countermeasure alert for hostile radar track acquisition can turn perpendicular to the hostile radar to nullify its Doppler frequency, which usually breaks the lock and drives the radar off by hiding against the ground return which is much larger.
Sorry the S-300 is beatable without being in space. Not saying its not a good system but its not as you say. Also if it uses microwaves if your airfraft absorbs it and does not return it it isnt worth anything.
Also Stop dodging my information about the F-22 being able to get within 25 miles before detection. its been verified when they went up against them in Greece who has some.

Uh huh. The proof being how well they did against the powerhouses of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. The difference is that Iran actually has a viable military.

Or you could just leave them alone?
Just cause you can attack them does not mean you should attack them.

The proof is the fact that we beat Germany twice and Japan.

Have we attacked them? Fact is we are going the route of diplomacy and they are yelling "Death to America". so who really wants war?

If Iran wants a fight they know where they can find us.

No you beat Germany twice with heavy allied help.
UK put in about equal the manpower and equipment in ww2 European theater and more in ww1 and the candians and Aussies put in a big chunk to.
The USA would not have got anywhere in WW1 on its own as Germany was near breaking point by the time you entered.
WW2 I doubt you could have fought Japan and Germany on your own.

Did you now? I guess we should stop calling them "World" wars then. Let's look at USA War 1. The world in it from 1914-1918. USA 1917-1918. USA War 2. The world 1939-1945. USA 1941-1945. Pretty easy to step in when everyone else is spent. Hell you weren't even in the War when the UK stopped Hitler's move to take the logistics away from the Allies via the Battle of Britain. If they had taken the UK there would have NO logistics to fight across the Atlantic. But hey, they DID it. Secondly the Soviet Union used men as bullets. Lost 20 million people that way.
If Iran wants a fight they know where they can find us.
It's patently clear that Iran wants no such thing but that US and it's proxies do.

Allied help? The UK was barely staying in the war and Russia didn't have enough weapons for their soldiers until we started sending weapon s to them.

Not much different from your Saudi allies then.
Least Iran hasn't flown 3 planes into USA buildings yet.

I see you know # all about history.
Thanks for pissing on the graves of your allies that fought and died side by side with you arrogant selfish self centered yanks.
Were is the nearest US war memorial so I take a piss up it?
Actually that will do a disservice to the decent Americans out there.
