I thought Iran was really building up their anti-aircraft stockpiles though.

 

I am glad you asked that question. On the surface, Iran's ADA would seem to be 'good', but:

  1. Russia has delayed shipment of their good stuff: http://www.alsumaria.tv/en/World-News/2-45061-Russia-delays-delivery-of-air-defense-missiles-to-Tehran.html
  2. What Iran has now is mostly 1970's technology which would be useless against an Israeli strike (think Gulf War)
  3. Here is a fantastic writeup in 2008 about ADA capabilities around their nuclear sites. If this is still the case in 2010, then Israel would certainly have no trouble obliterating them: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?129494-Fortress-Iran


Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
