The F-35 and F-22 are for lower tier opponents. Iran would be very difficult opponent with modern Russian fighters, anti ship missiles and SAM systems. The Russians have the second largest air ***** in the world, and the best ground based SAM systems in the world. Russian medium SAMS and SHORADS protect long SAM systems from low level ****** from aircraft and cruise missiles. Russian long range SAM, medium SAM, and SHORAD vehicles can be linked through command vehicles, so that Medium SAM and SHORAD vehicles can operate in silent mode. Russian SHORAD and Medium SAM vehicles would be undetectable by enemy aircraft and cruise missiles. Plus, Russia has vast range of short and long range electronic countermeasure systems.
The Russians are putting more missiles on their SAM systems, so they can deal with the cruise missile threat.
