KH-5 is a slow moving cruise missile and shouln't be any problem for the AEGIS system to track and kill.
The SS-N-22 has a range of only 100-120km? The USN RIM-162 ESSM should be able to handle it unless the operators are asleep. Aside from that it takes 1-5 of those missiles to sink a 20,000ton warship? Current US carriers are in the 100,000ton class.
Then again why are you saying that the US Navy is planning to attack Iran?
How many of those boats do they have 5? 10? The last thing I read was about a dozen
Iran has been exaggerating their capabilities for a long time now. I still remember their badly Photoshopped picture about missile launches
I have to agree with your statement "There is a big difference between a cruise missile and a ballistic missile." Cruise missiles are easier to kill since they are a lot slower.
ga tuo diay ka nga i public tanan nga defense sa US? kung ila na nang i pa gawas sa future weapons, most probably naa nay na develop nga mas advanced ang US. suma naa bay naka kita before atong chopper nga gigamit pag bira ni bin laden? same with the f-117 stealth. operational na to pag 1983 pero gi acknowledge og gi reveal sa world pag 1988 na. basin og ma kurat nalang ta nga naay murag ufo nga ipa gawas ang us if naay major conflict nga lain.
I dont think Aeges was designed for that. Maybe Phalanx systems naa guru chance.
KH 55 is subsonic - Remember these missiles will be fired in salvos.
Sun Burn is Mach 3
Dont forget they are sea skimming. very hard to detect. if ma detect man gani gamay nlng kaau kag time to react.
Possible pud. Mag base lang ta kung unsay naa karon in service para realistic ba.

AEGIS was designed for that.
I understand the Sunburn is Mach 3 but with their short range their carriers(boats) will be detected before they are able to launch.
RIM-162 is Mach 4 and like I said if the operators are alert there should be no problem.
What is a salvo? 2 missiles? With the available boats they have it can't be many. Aegis can track and engage more than 100 targets at over 100 nautical mile range. Unless they run out of ammo I don 't think Iran has enough missiles and boats to do much damage.
Again, why do you think the the US Navy will attack Iran?
Correct ka wala pay nasampulan sa Sunburn. (Russian missile ni cya bro)
Ang Aegis..naka sample na..
passenger plane lang sa Iran.
- Im talking about the sea skimming missile (low flying) which i doubt Aegis was designed for. Phalanx naa pay slim chance.
- Do you think Iran will fire just two? come on.
- I'm replying on Visual C's post that If the US will attack Iran. Pls back read.
