We tried acquiring su-35 from Russia. I don’t know what happened to the deal. Iran also heavily focuses on being self reliant, and I think we are too far away from producing anything close to a 5th gen. But I agree we should have a decent Air Force regardless, but it’s difficult when no one is wiling to sell us planes. Maybe China will in the future.I don't know about these but as i earlier said, i'm listening to Turkish experts, they also had some serious critics about Iran, let me relay these critics to you.
- When the Shah fell, Iran was like 3rd military force in the world. They were superior to everyone else in the region but in quantity and quality. Okay, they had 10 year war and sanctions. But they completely neglected their air force. They had 47 years and absolutely done nothing for their air force. You can not protect skies by relying entirely on your anti-air missiles.
- Iranian intelligence completely failed on counter-intelligence. The expert who said this (Ali Burak Darıcılı - ex-MIT personel). If it was up to me, i would fire everyone in Savama and re-organize, re-structure it. That organization has lots of breaches and it not only at the low levels, some key figures working for Mossad.
Setting the stage?
It was arrogance and delusional confidence in old systems that led them here.
multiple hits at precise intervals to deepen the crater would finally reach the desired depth.....
Well the SU-35 deal was likely paid for by all the drones Iran provided to Russia also building up a airforce from essentially scratch is pretty difficult.Even a few months back they acquired Su-35, they were hell bent on Russian aircraft even though Russian electronics, software, avionics are completely outdated and outclassed by the Chinese.
If they had a fleet of J-10C and Chinese AEW&C, AWACS, Radar and missiles, 80% of the Israeli air attacks could have been thwarted. Majority of Israeli fleet is F-16 and F-15, J-10C can easily take on those.
GBU-57 has a penetration capability of 200 feet or about 60 meters, not 400 meters.

Wow, 60 meters. Unbelievable technology.
China wasn’t willing to sell us any planes mainly due to fear of US sanctionsEven a few months back they acquired Su-35, they were hell bent on Russian aircraft even though Russian electronics, software, avionics are completely outdated and outclassed by the Chinese.

That is news to me. What's the full story?? I had only heard his investigation of 'PTI corruption' made him loose favor with Khan....Concern here is that he might be doing the opposite, paying back with interest for when Irani complaint had him lose his job of DG ISI....
I heard some people say the Iranians underrated Chinese offerings. But I think they actually tried to buy J10s right? But they didn't have the cash, china rejected their oil barter dealEven a few months back they acquired Su-35, they were hell bent on Russian aircraft even though Russian electronics, software, avionics are completely outdated and outclassed by the Chinese.
