whats the status of the f-14s anyways? i havent really been keeping up but i got the vague impression from somewhere they were all lost to airstrikes?
Iranian Military News, Reports, Data, etc.
- Thread starter ShahryarHedayat
- Start date
The ones Israel showed images of being "destroyed" were parked in a place where retired aircraft are located. They were not operational.
And those "airstrikes" were made by Israeli drones.
The Iranians have their aircraft in bunkers not out in the open.

48 Su-35 if this is correct
When is the biggest question but also the training associated with them.
Beside the last rumored mig-29 shipment, do they have a short term fix to that diverse and decrepit airwing ? Would be better to have even more second hands Su-24 and Mig-29 in the short term. They need to reduce the variety and bring number up at least.
From my understanding based on Piotr this all is a huge misunderstanding since this document was more a plan/option/consideration than a given fact similar to these claims, China would order Russian Il-78M tanker
—❗️/ Iranian MP, Amirhossein Sabeti, in an interview with MES:
'Instead of negotiating with the West in 2013 and giving many concessions, Iran should have increased its nuclear capabilities and its cooperation with China and Russia.
Let me give you an example: In 2015, China's President Xi Jinping came to Tehran, but Iranian officials at the time concluded that working with China was not in our interests, so we didn't; this was a major mistake.
If we started our strategic cooperation with China at that very moment, we would be several steps ahead of where we are now.'

I guess this supports the opinions and previous statements of some members of this forum.

Too late I guess. Only after they get spanked do they actually admit their fault. Still better than Europeans though… Literally going from Industry 4.0 to Industry 404 but sitting taller in the cuck chair than ever before.
Dr. Amirhossein Sabeti, in an interview with MES:
'We shouldn't rely solely on Russia and China to solve our problems. But these two countries have common interests with Iran, and we should seize this opportunity.
I want to emphasise: Whatever we have ordered from Russia and China that was paid for, they have delivered to us. And whatever military equipment we requested from them but not yet paid for, they had no red lines and assured us we will receive what we need.
If there is any delay in the delivery of equipment from Russia or China (Su-35), it was from our side due to internal factors; there was zero malice from their side.'
This probably isn't fully true, Russia is at war, after all. But China on the other hand (showing the PL-15E Pakistan) can deliver almost a week before a war breaks out.

No, it just shows that Iran has a parliament with government and opposition that will say anything to criticise their political enemies. The parliamentary system is a major weakness
In fact, China did participate in the international investments in Iran after the jcpoa. But then they pulled out after trump started maximum pressure
I‘ve said this multiple times. If you visited Iranian spaces back in 2915, you would have gotten the impression that they think they are too good for China. It‘s a population that are so delusional that they think they are a piece of Europe in the middle east.
