There are a lot of old airframs in Mehrabad. These planes were purchased in the 1960s and 70s and had not been flying for years. I doubt the operational aircraft were left sitting around to be picked off this late into the war especially when we have seen them being dispersed during the 12 day war. I think that the U.S/Israel are running out of good targets so they go for these big high visibility strikes for the optics.

You completely misunderstand the difference between "weapons" and "UAVs." These are two entirely different concepts.
Given your low IQ, I can explain it more clearly. This type of UAV.
If it contains "military" components (such as military-grade electronic components, warheads, and military-grade materials), it will be subject to Chinese laws regarding arms control. We can state definitively that China will not sell weapons to Iran at this stage.
But...
If it contains no "military" components, uses only civilian-grade materials and electronic components, and does not contain a warhead, then it is a purely civilian product and is not subject to Chinese laws regarding arms control. It can be exported.
In principle, if the purchasing country converts these civilian products for military use, it also violates Chinese law. However, the market for such civilian-grade products is enormous, and the channels for their circulation in the international market are extremely complex, making legal proof almost impossible. The Chinese government does not legally permit such behavior, but in reality, it is "unable" (this is a gray area) to regulate it.
On the Russian-Ukrainian front, both sides used a large number of UAVs to attack each other. Only China has the capacity to supply these UAVs on such a scale. Officially, the Chinese government does not allow Chinese companies to sell these products to either side. In reality, both sides purchase large quantities of these UAVs or components from China.
As for warheads, China has very strict controls over the production and sale of explosives. These are highly regulated enterprises.
However, China exports fertilizers all over the world…... I guess your intelligence might not be able to understand that.

Even cruise missiles are more effective then Balistic Missiles which travels at predictable trajectory. What Pakistan needs are hypersonic missiles which is almost impossible to shot down with what India currently has.
FYI Ukraine has destroyed many of Russian S400 and S500 radars.

Hi,
At the end of the day---Iran will suffer for not having a potent air force.
A potent 4.5 gen aircraft could have pretty much neutered everything the israelis or americans could throw at them other than the 5th gen aircraft---.
Iran---even though it had a lots of time at their hands---acted in a lackadaisical manner when it came to equip the air force---.
I beleive that the Drone / missile Mafia in iranian military became dominant---the air force command became weak---treated like a step child from a second wife---while the drone / missile mafia ruled the roost.
I would say that was a very bad policy by the Iranian military for which they would pay heavy penalties---.

Iran’s UN envoy says 1,332 Iranian civilians killed in war
UNITED NATIONS, The United Stations: Iran’s UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani said on Friday that at least 1,332 Iranian civilians have died so far in the conflict with Israel and the US, and that thousands more have been injured. Speaking to reporters at the United Nations in New York, Iravani...

- “Our initial assessment indicate that some of these incidents may have resulted from the interceptions or interference by the United States defense system, which could have diverted from intended military targets,” he said
- “The selection of Iran’s leadership will take place strictly in accordance with our constitutional procedures and solely by the will of the Iranian people without any foreign interference,” he added
Speaking to reporters at the United Nations in New York, Iravani asserted that the US and Israel had deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure, while Iran had targeted military sites, not civilians.
The US and Israel have said the opposite is the case.
Iravani said Iran was also not targeting the interests of neighboring states and was investigating allegations that it had struck non-military sites.
“Our initial assessment indicate that some of these incidents may have resulted from the interceptions or interference by the United States defense system, which could have diverted from intended military targets,” he said.
US President Donald Trump demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender” on Friday and said its new supreme leader must be “acceptable,” after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on the war’s first day. Trump told Reuters in an interview on Thursday that he must have a say in the selection.
Iravani called Trump’s statement “a clear violation of the principles of non interference in the internal affairs of states, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.”
“The selection of Iran’s leadership will take place strictly in accordance with our constitutional procedures and solely by the will of the Iranian people without any foreign interference,” he added.
Hours after Trump’s comments, Iran’s president announced that unspecified countries had begun mediation efforts, one of the first signals of any diplomatic initiative to end the conflict.
Two US officials told Reuters US investigators believe it is likely US forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed scores of children on Saturday, but have not yet reached a final conclusion.
