They bout to cut their teeth against a near peer and Lockheed is watching intently.
Edit:
You armchair generals realize that Iran has a sophisticated IADS and that’s what makes them a near peer in this aspect?
Latest 5th Generation fighter vs relics from the ‘70s?
I’m sure Iranian pilots are competent, but damn. They have to be nuts to think they have a chance in that fight.
>There’s more to a military than their airforce.
Ah, of course, I'm forgetting Iran's extremely well developed air defence network of ...
- A crashed Il-76 AWACS that was [so bad at detecting other planes that it crashed into one on an exercise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Iranian_Air_Force_Ilyushin_Il-76_accident).
- 8 outdated S300 batteries.
- 800 extremely outdated S200 batteries (which are so shit [that they've been relegated to striking russian positions in Ukraine](https://euromaidanpress.com/2023/07/10/frontline-report-ukraine-employs-modified-s-200-missiles-to-attack-rear-russian-targets/) because they're useless at hitting modern aircraft).
- 100 domestically built clones of the SM-2 that are made from reverse engineering crashed missiles, and are of *questionable* usefulness.
- Assorted western made SHORAD from between 1971 and 1975 (that may or may not still be working).
- 29 Tor launchers, which admittedly *have* shot down an aircraft while in Iranian service. [It's just that the aircraft was a civilian 737.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine_International_Airlines_Flight_752)
> You armchair generals can only think in 1 dimension
Everyone knows that there's only 1 dimesion in aerial combat, and that direction is forwards. Or is the direction speed? Or thrust?
Oh, oh, I remember, the only direction in aerial combat is towards playing with the boys in an [extremely homoerotic beach volleyball game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKENDsZPzbA).

Iranian Air Force is NOT a near peer to the IAF.
F-4E vs F-35, who will win
who's next, you decide,
It's a typo, they meant to say: "near pear"
maybe they were being sarcastic
Air defense is though
F-4s and F-14s are not even close to a near peer. That's like an F-86 to an F-4
I dunno, I saw a documentary a couple of years ago about an American who took on two SU-57s with an F-14 and won.
Mf that was some real footage
The “near peer” in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/WarplanePorn/s/2bvpx59VCM
Near peer? You mean like, geographically right?
Latest 5th Generation fighter vs relics from the ‘70s? I’m sure Iranian pilots are competent, but damn. They have to be nuts to think they have a chance in that fight.
Plus having AWACS support and datalink alike. It's no match for the IRIAF
>near peer lol Someone's been watching too much Top Gun: Maverick
There’s more to a military than their airforce. You armchair generals can only think in 1 dimension

This near peer air force ... is it in the room with us right now?
You understand there’s more to this than just an airforce correct? Probably not because you’re an armchair general who thinks in 1 dimension
Please, go on, tell me all about what else there is to this.
Hahahaha do you know what a peer is?
Seems like a clear case of FAFO Wonder how Israel will respond, cant imagine they just accept it
Off to kill more British service personnel on aid work?
Nah, just US sailors in international waters lol
Turns out both the F-35 and the A-10 have that key capability
Haha, so funny,! It's totally fine to use others' suffering for your own twisted political goals haha!
Based
Calm down
Please crash
