Iran's Massive Air Force Is Ready .They are sitting on F-14's, Mig 29's, and countless F-5's, and they remanufacture internally.

:ddmm:

Bs Bullshit.

Don't get me wrong, the F-14 is uber badass, and will always be........but "the most advanced aircraft in the whole world"?

Are you kidding me?
It is old!
Way old!

Sure, they can do mad damage, and can be retro-fitted for unlimited task, but they are not the most advanced, an F-16, which is also very old, is much more advanced.

Not to mention the Stealth, you name it.

I mean, seriously.

Neat website Dr.
THANKS!

they are buying all the junk from russia ,and russia is laughing all the way to the bank ,you have to go somewhere with all that hardware from that shrunken army .
3 days of pinpoint strikes and its gone .

Tom cats are old modles for the US. NAVY...they been planing to mass procudt superhornets now .....

Last laugh is Iran was trained by the USA
They developed a bullpup version of our M-16
They know American doctrine and organization.
It will be SunTzu's advice
Know your enemy
They know US

Read or watch "the Mouse that Roared"

USA will lose to Iran.
USA lost to Vietnam

Same situation

People who love their country vs foreign invaders who know they are doing wrong.

Iraq veterans know they fought to prevent Iraqi's governing themselves.
I fought to prevent Vietnamese choosing their own government.

Patriots who will fight and die for generations will always win against foreign invaders.

Brits lost Afghanistan
Russians lost Afghanistan
USA will also lose Afghanistan.

Added for x reference:

The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force - IRIAF

The majority of the Iranian inventory of F-14s has been grounded since Gruman engineers sabotaged them before they were thrown out of the country during the revolution.
Best estimates of 79 planes delivered that are operational at any time is between 10 and 20.
The backbone of the Iranian fighter fleet is the 1950s designed F-5 which is old by anyones standards.
In a head to head conflict the Iranian Air Force would stand little chance against the U.S. inventory of F-15s, F-16s, F-18 Super Hornets and the newly operational F-22 Raptors

To bad they'll get shredded before they get into they air.

Do you calculate how much time, skills and chances are needed for a carrier squadron to land back safely on the carrier while being fired upon from all sides? Much more than reality can offer I would say!

Keep in mind that every position that fires on the US will be targeted and destroyed. We have many eyes on the battlefield.

Yep, i can confirm ice is a fuckhead.

Or he could be a reptilian.

You guys are very ignorant. The F-14 is a fantastic jet that is loved by most military men. It was extremely ahead of its time and it still would be considered to be quite the competition.

Apparently,all they need is boxcutters.

Apperently,all they need is box cutters.

They have bought some of our old shit too.

When a country like Israel can pretty much destroy the whole region if backed into a serious corner the US isn't going to be to worried about it all. They pretend that Iran is a serious danger but they know and so does Iran. We could set that country back 15 plus years without ever touching the ground.

A lot of arrogant cock-sure postering here by a bunch of American keyboard heroes ... just like before the invasion of Iran ... Victory assured ... Won before it started ... and look what happened there. Iraq is way bigger and way better equipped than Iran.

Do the math, it's simple.

The only way America can do something about Iran is nukes

No nuking then forget Iran, just forget it, it ain't gonna happen.

29/07/08 " -- -The intensifying saber rattling and war of words between the US and Israel, on one hand, and Iran have generated a great deal of hysteria, war fever and confusion.

Senior Israeli cabinet members have threatened nuclear war against Iran. The western media has given the erroneous impression that Iran is poised to wipe Israel off the map. Some understanding of the military issues involved is badly needed.

First, missiles. Iran announced its Shahab-III missile is ready to retaliate against any Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities. This missile is not long-ranged, as media wrongly claims, but a medium-ranged. Iran says it can deliver a two ton warhead over 2,000 km. But Israeli and US sources say Shahab’s maximum range is around 1,200 km, which puts much of Israel out of its range.

This obsolescent missile is highly inaccurate, particularly at maximum range. It is liquid fueled, meaning it is very vulnerable to air and missile strikes while being prepared to fire. Israel has developed tactics using aircraft, missiles and drones to attack enemy missiles in pre-launch phase. Iran has an estimated 24 Shabab-III’s.

The other missiles Iran fired this week were short ranged models of no strategic value. Tehran was even caught doctoring the pictures it issued of the multiple missile launch to cover up the failure of one of the missiles to fly. This embarrassment reinforced the view that Tehran is trying to hide its military weakness behind a lot of chest-pounding and missile theatrics.

Israel, by contrast, has around 50 Jericho-II nuclear-armed missiles with a range from 900-2,700 miles, putting every Mideast capital and parts of Russia, Pakistan, and Europe within range. Each Jericho-II carries a warhead that can destroy a major city.

Medium-ranged missiles are almost useless without nuclear warheads. Iran has no nuclear weapons, and even if it did manage to develop them, it would be many years before a compact warhead could be developed that could be carried atop a missiles and withstand heavy G-forces. Until Iran has nuclear warheads, Iran’s Shabab’s will be more for show than military utility.

*Other systems - Israel has an indestructible nuclear triad. In addition to the Jerichos, which are housed in caves and mobile, Israel has one of the world’s top air forces with long-ranged US-supplied F-15I’s and F-16’s that can deliver nuclear weapons to Iran. Germany provided Israel with three Dolphin-class subs that are said to be armed with nuclear cruise missiles. At least one sub is always on station off Iran’s coast. In addition, Israel new Ofek-3 military satellite provides full coverage of Iran and surrounding region. Israel also shares US satellite and other sensor data in real time.
Israel has probably the world’s second or third most potent air force, with around 400 state of the art, US-supplied combat aircraft and among the world’s most skilled pilots. The IAF is supported by a galaxy of electronic warfare systems, drones, and long-range recon. Israel’s Arrow is the world’s most advanced operational anti-ballistic missiles system and is expected to down over 85% of any incoming missiles.

Iran’s Air Force has only about 165 airworthy combat aircraft, mostly of 1960’s and 70’s vintage. The only aircraft it has that can reach Israel are 18-20 Soviet-era SU-24’s, and a handful of decrepit 40-year old, US-supplied F-4 Phantoms and F-14’s dating from the Shah’s day.
Thanks to unlimited US support, Israel is two full military generations ahead of its enemies, and even further advanced in electronic warfare and command and control.

A single nuclear weapon would destroy Israel, as its partisans warn. But this is also true of Egypt, where a single nuke on the Aswan Dam would inundate the nation and kill millions. It also applies to the Syria, Lebanon, the Gulf Emirates, Jordan, and Iraq. Only Saudi Arabia and Iran have strategic space. Even so, one nuclear strike on Tehran would cripple Iran for years.
Thanks to its strategic triad, Israel’s nuclear forces are indestructible, hence capable of devastating retaliation against any enemy nuclear strike. The Bush administration has vowed nuclear retaliation against any nation that attacks Israel with nuclear weapons.

Given these facts, we can see how false are claims trumpeted by the west that Iran is a dangerous military power that is about to eradicate Israel. The facts are quite the reverse.

I think you mixed Iran and Iraq up or there was a war we didn't get to hear about.
This thread is about Iran's (not Iraqs) Air Force.
As far as doing the math goes...In a one on one confrontation with U.S. air power it is way out matched.

Not that I am proud of it because I am not but If America and the world let our military kill anything there would not be a living soul in Iraq. Putting troops on the ground complicates things but if you are not concerned with innocent people we can bring a country to its knees in a matter of about half a day.

big deal. fear monger.

They're getting ready to get destroyed.

They're sitting on the tarmac waiting, almost begging, to get bombed.
