The Legend
If F-5s and Su-24s managed to bomb the US and return back safely, Su-35 can also do itAnd how long will Iran's Su35s going to get air borned and survive against VLO platforms like F22 and F35? The present of VLO jets like F22 and F35 in terms of quantity and quality will destroy any 4.5 generation air force out there in a heartbeat. Even if Iran had the export downgraded version of the F22, it would not last a few rounds against the domestic non export version F35 of the American airforce. Ukraine was fighting against a banana republic armed with 4.5 generation jets at best, it wasn't facing any VLO platforms like F22 and F35.
Its a matter of protecting the aircrafts on the ground
