I don't agree with him.
I am following him in Telegram, but he's wrong.
Irán cannot shoot down more fighters simply because they're don't flying inside Iranian airspace.

The last one was a Super Hornet two weeks ago in Chabahar. But that is close to sea and the risk is so high that you don't see any other entering again inside Iranian airspace.

He's right about a necessary new Air force, but you can't ask Air defenses more. Their systems are very good. But without Air force any radar emitting will be wiped out with antiradiation missiles.

So whatever SAM systems must be based on IR or passive detection.
