Sure, but it is the Ayatollah's job to pay them 800 million dollars per year.
Thanks for clarifying that.
So when IRI was wasting 500+ Billion USD on Arab militias to fight Israel, following happened to IRIAF on 200 Million USD a year budget in last 25 years.
44 FMC airframes of F-14 reduced to 12 within 10 years.
F-14AM Upgradation program abandoned after 2 airframes in 10 years.
MIG-29 upgrdation halted, still flies with MIG-23ML avionics + SARH BVR
SU-24MK upgradation halted, still cant fire LR-ALCMs
SU-22M3/M4 upgradation halted after 10 airframes despite having 40+
SU-35S purchase deal killed
F-4E/D Dowran upgradation halted after single squadron.
Kowsar Light fighter yielded 5 airframes in 8 years.
Saegheh Light fighter abandoned after 6 airframes over 12 years
Azrakhsh Light fighter abandoned after 3 airframes
Yasin AT seems yielded 2 airframes over 6 years (1 crashed)
Tazarve AT abandoned after crashes
Karrar interceptor never progressed to larger wingmen
Kaman-22 UCAV never got built in higher numbers
Low RCS Stealth Flying wings were never purchased by IRIAF
IrAN-140/HESA SImorgh Maritime Petrol/AWACS project never progressed.
Fakour-90 LRBVR bundled up after 100 missiles, 2 x F-14AM for them
Maghsoud LRBVR never got tested
Azarakhsh WVR HOBS never purchased, IRIAF uses non-all-aspect AIM9J
Arash Light BVR never built.
But Vahedi would tell us how hundreds of fighters were flying around Iran during war. IRGCAF saved IRI's face with reciporcating strikes in heart of Israel but had IRIAF been a regular airforce, they would not have allowed Israeli jets to even cross mid-Iraq from where they launch ALBMs. Result: 1000 Iranian civilians died. Mullahs did not think it through before they went on to murder IRIAF with budget cuts.
I highly doubt that. There will be a second round and you will see that we will commit the same mistakes again and again.
If the IRGC were capable of learning anything, we wouldn't have lost 20 something nuclear scientists, including Fakhrizadeh, the same way. We wouldn't have lost +30 of our generals in half an hour. The characteristic of the Islamic Republic is that they learn nothing. They have been making the same mistakes for 4 decades. What do you think has changed to expect a different outcome this time?
Man these IRI/Khamenei cultists are mentally sick weirdos of another level. As soon as you mention Iranian blood being spilled for nothing, they will start laughing like its funny. What happened to our society that this shameless behavior became part of Iranian soul under IRI. Just write few lines about death of Iranian civilians or soldiers in meaningless wars and see how laughing reactions start. Its almost like Iranian deaths gives them some kind of pleasure.
