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

[Ali_Baba]

Iran doesn't need any weapon system from any country except for a fighter aircraft.

Iranian defense industry produces most weapons at home and many more types are in design stage.

The mythical Su-35(or Su-30) still has not tuned up in Iran it seems - what is the holdup?

Iran could sure well use them in this war they have.

 

[Flotilla]

Everyone is getting Flankers except us. And morons here say the Orcs are a much better ally.

Be patient.

Irán has no place to deploy them. The risk it is so high.

IRIAF need to repair all air bases and then receive the aircrafts.

Yesterday was updated Google Maps in Shiraz area.

Pictures are so eloquent. IRIAF cannot deploy nowadays any aircraft in those bases.

The worst areas are Su24 hangars,

Helicopter base is destroyed

And IRGC worshops are also completely destroyed

You can extrapolate the rest of airbases are like Shiraz AB.

Russia is winning the war in part because of Irán. If there was no war against Irán, hundreds of interceptors would go directly to Ukraine. Not to mention lucky oil sales revenues that Putin is directly picking from US.

If there were a real risk that Iran might lose the war, I am certain that Russia would transfer more equipment so that Iran could continue the fight. Likely not combat aircraft—as there are no airbases to deploy them and their associated support gear—but rather anti-aircraft systems or cruise missiles (something they are already doing by transferring the technology for Iran to build them).

Why spend limited hard currency reserves buying weapons from abroad when you can produce them at home with rials and much cheaper.

If Iran buys some weapon types from abroad - it does so only for reverse engineering purposes and for comparison with local models.

In January 2012 Hormuz strait tensions was very high, no time to reverse engineering. War was seen as imminent, but Iran didnt answer USA provocations, and some Israel important figures stopped plans of Israeli first strike against Iran.

It was just another Russia backstab after USA/Russia meetings. Like happen in Venezuela after Alaska Putin/Trump summit.

simply Russia is not reliable. They will backstab any partner for a few American dollars again and again and again.
