Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

Am going to get this straight...

Air Dominance: The ability of an air force to compel other air forces to re-array themselves, usually into subordinate postures.

Air Superiority: The ability of an air force to achieve control of contested airspace(s), repeatedly if necessary, and if there are losses, those losses would not pose a statistical deterrence to that ability.

Air Supremacy: He flies, he dies.

The clear indicator here is air force vs air force.

There are two ways you can lose an air attacker, be it a fighter or a bomber: against the opposing air force, or against ground based defense.

We can eliminate the Iranian air force as cause of our air losses. The best way to defeat enemy air force is to destroy them while they are on the ground.

Ground based air defense is the last line of defense. Ground based air defense is when the enemy is literally over you. Ground based air defense is REACTIVE while an air force is PROACTIVE/PREEMPTIVE. Ground based air defense CANNOT carry the fight to the enemy but an air force can. Do you understand?

Like it or not, the US owns Iranian airspace. Any Iranian airplane flies, he dies. Simple as that.

Then by this definition, "air supremacy" becomes a pointless index of analysis, outside of massaging Pete Hegseth's ego.

Significant harm can be dealt to this air force, even if it is enjoying a state of so called "air supremacy".

I won't lose the football match over 90 minutes but I'll still lose on penalties.

The problem here is that war is not a football match.

I will remind you of what I learned from a chief when I was active duty: In a fight, you win not by fighting under the opponent's rules, but by forcing him to fight under yours, and cheating is allowed.

Fair points! I like the cut of your jib, sailor.

It is as yet undetermined though, who is fighting under whose rules. Iran continues to surprise.
 
They will treat them with respect as one side has fought honourably whereas the other with horror.

Keep in mind these pilots have killed lots of Iranians including kids they should really be executed for warcrimes, Ben gvir and trumpy would not hesitate.
They should take any pilot captured to civilian schools and children schools that have been hit and ask them what fkn orders you been given to hit these. These are war crimes. These American/shitzraeli pilots participating in this shit should face charges
 



US helicopters freely moving around in Iran. Even though its forces are hit, they are still in control of situation .. the problem is sustained loses for US. Two videos shared here, second one the heli doing nose dive
 
@Kyussis If this is one of our cluster munitions, I think 10kg-30kg is a pretty accurate estimate for its weight.

We should stop firing cluster warheads though. They seem ineffective for causing widespread damage and the Israelis are no longer intercepting them. It's a foolish tactic at this point.

They are very good for industrial targets and energy facilities. The target approach needs to become better though.
