I don't agree with him.
I am following him in Telegram, but he's wrong.
Irán cannot shoot down more fighters simply because they're don't flying inside Iranian airspace.

The last one was a Super Hornet two weeks ago in Chabahar. But that is close to sea and the risk is so high that you don't see any other entering again inside Iranian airspace.

He's right about a necessary new Air force, but you can't ask Air defenses more. Their systems are very good. But without Air force any radar emitting will be wiped out with antiradiation missiles.

So whatever SAM systems must be based on IR or passive detection.

some say Iran downed 3x US MQ-1Cs today alone, but the number is not clear to me

49th US MQ-9 drone downed by Iran

Another US MQ-9 drone downed by Iran

IRGC claims this is number 52, perhaps they are counting some MQ-1 as well or we missed a few

Tweedledum are busy yammering about how incompetent Iran has been. They have air cover from the MK moderator. All we hear is that the Iranian leaders are dumb, and war planners are worst. Meawhile you must f,,kng blind, and missed the memo with the yields on US 10 year and 30 year T-Bills, the price of oil and diesel before 02/28 and today. Here is another example of incompetent Iranian engineering . It is identical to all of the videos released by IRGC. Last I checked, almost of all of 14000+ sorties where carried out with stand off munitions according to CENTCOM.
