They will start using saudi airspace just like last night since the refueler got hit. Best solution is to take down the refuelers at hangars. They sit open in sky not in under hardened shelter like planes.
Drones like herone900 and reapers are dropping lying flies, If somehow iran manages to distrub the airbridge by hittiing bases in jordan and israil it will bring good advantage to Missile forces of irgc.
At that time Iran only had Israel as foe, TP1/TP2/TP3 (12 day war) in which Iraqi airspace become the problem for IRIAD because no HIMAD could reach the ALBM/SOW launch zone. Had we got the SU-35S back then with R37, the refuelers could be hit in air. I wrote pages in IRIAF section on this including a scenario in which Iraqi Airforce needs to be funded and armed by IRI.
Against US the scenario totally changes because they wont allow your fighter jets to roam freely in air or rest on ground either unless we get more and more underground bases like Oghab-44 which probably houses 1.5 squadron at best.
So yes the only solution is for IRGCASF to neutralize refuelers on ground which they are trying to do and we will soon start to see the results like last night. One thing about IRGC is that they learn and adapt very quickly.
