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

[Arkan55]

Using light combat aircrafts in eastern provinces is more than enough to tackle with terrorists groups or skirmishes.

But beware. You need a high performance aircraft to operate in western areas. Just because any flying F5/Kowsar it is a sitting duck in front of F15/35 connected with AEW&C systems.

True, but if those F5s are equipped with proper electro-optical early warning system, the F5 could easily maneuver away from the AMRAAMs launched by F35s.
Building an electro optical system for the F5s capable of detecting the incoming AMRAAMs is will within Iran's current technological capabilities.

Can you get rush deliveries of Mig 35 and Su 27?

Even Mig 29Ms.

Edit: Nvm about Mig 35. Only 6 serial produced.

The IRIAF is only capable of absorbing MiG-29s to its fleet in a timely fashion considering it has operated the type for over 34 years and has trained technicians and pilots capable to operate the type. Su-27s would require longer training time for personnel considering the differences it has with the Su-35s that Iran sent personnel to be trained on.

I wonder if these pilots really believe they were engaged in hour long dogfights with Israeli jets over Isfahan

seems incompetence is institutionalised and present in all aspects of Iranian military

60-80 fully modernized Mig 29s and Kowsar would at least pull Iran's air force out of museum status.

The new Mig 29s with the Zhuk radar have up to 150km detection range.

Going up against drones and scaring off Israeli F15s and F16s is still better than running and hiding 40 year old jets.

The Mig 29 is still a capable aircraft in the hands of a good pilot and good radar. We don't need to win the air war, just need to deny them air superiority.

I put a gun to your wife and kids or mother and father and you will recount seeing Queen Elizabeth recently at a coldplay concert.

Nah, nobody is coercing them. Iranians tend to like to exaggerate stories. My dad does this all the time.

Its possible a couple F5 or F14 pilots picked up some contacts on radar and pursued them, but lost them. Now they are just stretching the story to make it sound sexier.

Russian avionics sucks. Few years back PAF went to hit indian brigade HQs as a response. Indian SU-30MKIs were toothless against PAF F-16s / Amraams. One of india's reputed journalist told in his Vlog that he asked IAF officers that why SU30s didn't shoot. He said, they never got a lock signal in their system. Pakistanis were locking them way earlier. SU-30s are much better platform then mig-29s. At the same time, PAF F-16s / Amraams are not as modern as Israelis but still it was cakewalk for PAF. So I don't think mig-29s can pose any challenge to Israeli F-16s / F-15s.

If anything that can defeat western platforms and their missiles / amraams / meteors then that is Chinese. Demonstrated in combat recently too. When Rafales were smoked by J-10Cs.

Iran lost so bad that Chump went from demanding Iran's full surrender, to asking for a cease fire!

Stay in delusional. there will be a 2nd round in near future.i hope iran best luck.

 

[General Hannibal]

Provide Evidence. Here is my counter claim, except for Search n Track assets nothing of significance was hit. Hitting Search n Track assets is enough to cripple IADS of any country even super powers. Even if AD kept working what could they do to IAF fighters lobbing ALBMs from above Iraq, hundreds of KM away from Iranian borders.



Provide Evidence for this statement. Where is the half a ton HEU, how many centrifuge cascades were destroyed etc ?



Provide Evidence of Israeli jets flying over Iran. We saw hundreds of such videos coming out of Syrian war, Ukraine war, Iraq war. In Iranian case entire 12 days produced 3 instances of 2 jettisoned F-15 tanks (fired upon by Khordad MID-AD) and one Spice PGM being dropped from within Iranian airspace. There was no Gag order on Iranian population to control video outputs like Israel enforced on their population to hide the damage. So where is the evidence of "controlling Iranian skies" ?

LoL.how typical of u. delusion of grandeur.

Let's avoid exaggerations! The F 35 can't do wonders on the Indians either. The Su-30-35 sees far and shoots far like the MIG29. There are no miracles. In the case of the Pakistani J10C, let's be careful, the circumstances are unknown! One thing is for sure, the Chinese are in the forefront in radar technology and armament.

I'll be very surprised if Iran receives any J10s.

Hmm so you have no evidence. You failed to back up your claims so you are retreating to trash talk to get out of this, which you would not be allowed to. LOL indeed at systems that produce such failure individuals. I will repeat again, since you failed to support your claims before. Here is a re-qoute of my questions. This time I bolded them.

Nobody can do anything for IRIAF until this Islamo-Marxist failure of a government loses power and is replaced by a secular nationalist government again. Till then IRGCAF's missile forces are the only deterrence Iran as a nation has. Even the new admin will need atleast 10-15 Billion USD and 5 years of patience before airforce is capable of operating outside borders (over PG and Iraq)

اون هم شدنی نیست
نابود کردن یه کشور در سایز اسرائیل با موشک اون هم به شرط بازدارندگی اتمی داشتن شدنی هست اما هیچ کدوم از خطرات جدی کنار دست ما با موشک نابود نمی‌شن. فقط کافیه هزینه‌های بسیار زیاد اقتصادی رو تحمل کنن
و اگر به هر شکلی کار به درگیری زمینی برسه، ما بدون نیروهوایی حتی نمی‌تونیم نیروهامون رو تو کشوری به پهناوری ایران جابجا کنیم​

زدن نیروی هوایی عربا یا ترک‌ها واسه سپاه کاری نداره چون نه پدافند لایه‌ای درست و حسابی دارن، نه پایگاه هوایی جلو زیاد. سپاه می‌تونه راحت این پایگاها رو بزنه و اینا هم چون کل نیروشون چندتا هواپیمای غربیه، توان زدن نیروی موشکی سپاه رو ندارن. تا الان ایران می‌تونه همه‌شونو شکست بده ........... ولی نیروی هوایی ایران باید دوباره ساخته بشه چون سعودی‌ها و ترک‌ها دارن از چین موشک می‌خرن
