Iranian Air Defence Systems | News and Discussions

[Persian Gulf]

If the F-35s are not as good as advertised and can't really penetrate air-defenses as easy as they say, We can shoot a couple of them down then the Iranian air defence systems are going to turn into money printing machines over night. But if the F-35s are really as good as they are advertised then we are f'd in the a.

they are very good but they cannot sustain high sortie rate over that distance without US direct help

interceptions of 3 small quadcopters

seems Iran's air defences performed well, albeit against a pathetic attack

 

[razgriz19]

How were the drones able to get in that far? I under most countries can only afford to protect important sites and cities, but Iran knowing the attack was imminent should've moved the AD closer to the border where Israelis most likely to enter the airspace

Nothing has crossed the airspace

They were launched from within the city by proxy same as 2023, and got gunned down by guns defense

A quadcopter isn't doing 1500km on its own crossing Jordan, Syria, Iraq borders like this

Yes, the car, university and many other products/brands are named after that name of Sindh. Probably that name has Persian root.
