President Obama: The U.S. Can Penetrate Russian S-300 Air Defenses In Iran

RT: US can ‘penetrate’ S-300 air defenses in Iran if necessary – Obama

However good Russia’s S-300 air defense system is, when supplied to Iran the US will be capable of dealing with it, President Barack Obama said in an interview to MSNBC. He mentioned the Pentagon’s incredible budget compared to Iran’s as proof.

The US objects to the upcoming deployment of Russian-made S-300 air defense systems in Iran and has expressed its concern, Obama said in an interview. “But as I said before we have to keep it in perspective.”

The president compared the $600 billion US defense budget to the Iranian military spending of a “little over $17 billion.”

“Even if they have some air defense systems, if we had to, we could penetrate them,” Obama said.
