Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

Not really. The fact remains that a solid air force and air defence would have reduced Iranian vulnerability to enemy attacks quite substantially. Iran has been forced into absorbing the brutal attacks against it, at a very high cost, and has hit back very hard also. It would have been better to have all the correct components in place for total war, which is where we seem to be perilously close to right now. Advanced Air Force and air defence are still urgently required by Iran.
Perhaps a SAM based AD was an option for Iran but certainly a credible airforce to challenge US and Israel was never option for Iran. Even Russians weren't willing to sell them the best of their junk.

Yes for AD, no for airforce. No one was selling them advanced jets, and even if they had acquired some, they wont stand no chance against US+Israel airforce.
So, i think Iran did best by investing in missiles and drones.
 
It was probably AD-08 Majid SHORAD. Its Azarakhsh interceptor is a highly maneuverable All aspect IIR HOBS. Originally designed as WVR for F-14AM project but adapted as SHORAD.

The Majid and Azarakhsh are two separate systems. The Azarakhsh is based on the Aim-9 platform and is not tube launched unlike the Majid.
 
Quite apparent it is you who is confused. Not surprised. Will chalk it up to your youth. You most certainly responded to my post regarding what message was being sent by the attempted attack on DG.

Don't ever underestimate the US ability to backtrack missile and artillery launches. We got pretty good at it in Iraq. More than one insurgent mortar crew chose not to beat feet when they should have.
Your post I responded to, was regarding the Message and second paragraph was regarding failed flight and interception.

I tried to address both.

WHo is confused, its very clear. or trying to play childish games, definitely not me.

I am not understimating US abilities, just stated the facts so far. I hope you do the same.

PS: If you can not respond to the post without deflecting, derailing, changing subject and most importanly without immature personal attacks. Please ignore my posts.

Thank you.
