U.S. Needs F-22 To Penetrate Iranian Air Space

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States would require an advanced fighter-jet
to penetrate Iranian air space and attack strategic facilities, a report
said.
The Washington Institute said the U.S. Air Force would require the F-22
fighter to enter Iranian air space without being detected by Teheran's
network of Russian-origin air defense systems. The institute, in a report by
Thomas Crimmins, said Iran's acquisition of the S-300 would rapidly detect
virtually any U.S. combat aircraft, including the F-15 and F-16.
"There is little doubt that the F-22 can neutralize the S-300," the
report, titled "Buying Time with Iran: The F-22 Fighter," said.
