• Iran purchased Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missile defense systems capable of striking enemy targets from 90 miles and at altitudes of up to 90,000 feet
• Once installed, the S-300 will be capable of effecting significant damage to US or Israeli planes during an aerial assault
• The S-300 missile defense system is rumored to be more sophisticated than the US Patriot missile defense system, creating sufficient doubt to serve as an effective obstacle
