5000 aircraft!
It would not have made much of a difference if Iran had 300 or 500 modern fighters.
This all, but confirms that the 600 fighters sitting in the Persian Gulf Arab states were probably in along with European fighters going in and out of rotation.
When Iranian officials stated they were up against 40 countries, they were probably close .
Not something to be proud of knowing the end result today.

I would be surprised if any of the infrastructure that is require to assemble the Su-35 remains intact as of now.

Time will tell - we have been hearing about Su-35s for the Iranian Airforce for years now, with no appearance of the platform yet.

There is no doubt during peacetime, with the help of China, Iran can build fighters similar to what Pakistan has done . Why come out with a blowhard BS statement During your first public presser ? maybe someone should pick up the phone then remind the defense minister that this is 2026 and the Internet is forever.

Do not attempt to apply the China-Pakistan cooperation model to the cooperation between China and Iran.

I have no idea why users still think that Iran will ever get Pakistan like treatment in its military cooperation with China.

Pakistan is a part of the world order. Pakistan does not try to challenge Israel or the Jewish led Western order (a big no no in international diplomatic relations). Pakistan is aligned with the Sunni Saudi led Middle East. And lastly Pakistan represents a counterweight to India for China.

All these means it’s very simple for China to arm Pakistan without causing headaches for itself or facing loss of trade with other allies or get sanctioned by U.S.

Iran is radioactive on the world stage at this point. Too much baggage and problems for any country to want to strategically deal with them.

Why is that? China-Iran cooperation is 10 x the China-Pakistan model. It only because the traitors like Rohani/Zarif that Iran currently does not possess 300+ J10s
