Iranian Air Force (IRIAF/IRGC-ASF) | News and Discussions

[Harbyharb]

that's wrong news , MAPNA didn't reverse engineered a complete CFM56, they built the contraption that the engine is tied to and is used to test engines after maintenance

Unfortunate. Then there’s still a very very long way to go for the IRIAF. Thanks for the clearification

Mi-28 is sti useless or still using this old CAS platform and producing new one based on that (nothing has been produced by HESA)?

Mil-28 still useless as always said the correct way is investing in Toofan , accident happens it don't mean go after something because a foreign country built it. and specially a system which is not safer

Russia grounds Mi-28 fleet following display crash: reports

A fatal crash of a Mil Mi-28 attack helicopter has led to the Russian ministry of defence grounding the fleet, local reports have claimed.

or the last crash that killed all on board and one civilian on the ground.

0 of those Touphan and AH-1 prototype have been constructed

Mi-28 performs in Ukraine and with Iranian armament with more than 25+km range missiles it would be a beast

Now show us how much of those Supercobras crashed since the Iran Iraq war because of malfunction

The number should be at least more than 20, so posting random crashes from the Uganda army or random crash from Russia isn't changing anything

It's not my fault but you really seem to want Iranian pilots dying in those flying coffins and refusing modernity for the sake of continuing projects that were and are never fruitful

 

[Kyussis]

Why are you guys discussing Army Aviation in the IRIAF section?

Either subservience to the West or this. These are his two options.

I can’t believe anyone on this planet thinks Iran reverse engineered CFM56.

Iran would be praised across the world for such a feat.

Woahoo! This is amazing stuff, fellas.

Great looksee at IRIAF MiG-29s and a F-7 with a rarely seen PL-7 missile. The PRC's version of the French Magic R550.

This was my idea. 1 year prior to official unveiling I theorized about building underground air bases.

Someone on this forum works for IRGC and steals my ideas without providing credit

Wish they listen to my fighter jet idea however.

I know what you mean, I feel the same exact way!

I'm sure you know this already; the Yugoslavian Serbs originally came up with Željava underground MiG-21 shelter base which wasn't really underground, more like inside a mountain on what's today the Bosnian/Croatian border.

The Serbian forces ended up destroying it while retreating at the end of '94 after NATO bombed the living daylights out of Yugoslavia. Brilliant idea but I would think potentially difficult logistically and probably costly, too.

For Iran it's probably a great thing because it'll save the fighters and if the runways get hit, at least those can be quickly repaired and put back into action whereas the fighters are a different story. And that one for the F-4 Phantoms looks like it's huge with many converging tunnels. And difficult to find.

North Korea has one with the runway inside the mountain.

Taiwan has the largest underground airbase in the world can fit over 120 fighters I believe.

China, Germany, Russia etc all have had hardened or nuclear proof underground airbases throughout various points in history.

The idea I had isn’t ‘new’ by any means.

I'd love to see how that works!
