USAF vs. Iran Air Force
For Entertainment purposes only people... They say the side that controls the air controls the war. Lets take a look at air superiority capabilities between the three sides. Lets first take a look at American Air Force Technology. The Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor is a fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology. It is primarily an air superiority fighter, but has multiple capabilities that include ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence roles. The United States Air Force considers the F-22 a critical component of the U.S. strike force.The F-22 is claimed by multiple sources to be the world’s most effective air superiority fighter. The US Air Force states that the F-22 cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft. The F22 is capable of Mach 1.75 in supercruise mode. The F22 also has mid air refueling capabilities and carries a deadly arsenal of the newest "smart weapons" stored internally to maintain its low radar cross section. To make a long story short, you can't shoot down what you can't see and if you can see it, you can't get missile lock on it. A single F22 can take on up seven or more F16's with minimal effort. (no need to even mention these other planes like the F117 Nightawk and the Boeing B1B Supersonic Bomber) Lets take a look now at the Iranian Air Force and what they utilize. Now like every country they will have numerous aircraft in service so I will only write about their most commonly used ones. The aircraft in the photo to the left is Iranian built HESA Azarakhsh (which in Persian translates to Lightning). It capabilities are to fly and miss all their shots. The Iranians are a crafty bunch wouldn't you say? Hey there's a new blog post right there, "Those crafty Iranians" about Iran's innovative technology market (yes, it was sarcasm.) Moving on. The Iranians also have 29 F4 Phantoms (yes, wow, we haven't used those since Vietnam) and 35 Russian built MiG 29's. But the aircraft model they most commonly use is the American built Northrop F5 Freedom Fighter. Plus 79 F14's that America sold them before 1979. So it seems we'll be doing most of the fighting against our own aircraft from the 60's and 70's. We're just shaking in our boots now. Oh no!
Snapple Fact: Did you know that America sells $14 million dollars worth of bull semen to Iran each year. Deadly, no. Gross, for sure. You wanna know what the best thing in Iran's arsenal is? It's the Russian built MiG 29. An aircraft that has been around since 1977. All jokes aside however, rumors have been surfacing about an arms deal between the Iranians and Russia. The arms deal is a purchase, by Iran, from Russia, a total of 250 Su-37 Flankers (blue and yellow aircraft in the two photos to the left)(in case you wondering the black one is the new Su-47). 250 Su-37's would make formidable opponents in a retaliatory attack of that nature, that is, if this arms deal goes through.) Additionally, the Su-37 incorporates the AL-37FU engines equipped with thrust vectoring. The Su-37’s nozzles are variable in pitch only, but unlike the F22 Raptor they can be operated differentially to provide a rolling movement. Also unlike the F22 Raptor this plane has no stealth technologies. Let's take a look at a some hypothetical air combat scenarios that might play out. For example, Israel launches a secret strike on Iranian nuclear installations. Ahmadinejad's vein and arteries in the neck and forehead swell up from anger (Ahmadinejad is Iran's president, His pic is on the top of this post.)(You know, being that this is an American blog, some people may not have known that.) Now at this point lets say that Ahmadinejad launches an air strike on Israel (Now also at this point the Hezzbollah would also probably fire a whole bunch of those bullshit Katyusha rockets across the border, they do it like rocketry is their hobby or something.) Israel would probably already be expecting such a retaliatory attack. Israel has an Air Arsenal of 72 F15 Eagles and an additional 25 of the F15 Strike Eagle variant. Their Air Force also comprises of more than 300 F16 Fighting Falcons in three different variants (But we only know what they tell us.) So when Iran, does send its Vietnam War Era Phantom F4's and it's minuscule fleet of MiG 29's, it will be, how Borat would say, a not great success against the Jew for Iran. The Jew come with the claw bitch! Let's say America aided in this operation and they go after a warship in the gulf. They'd be finished before they find the ship. I can't really think of any viable scenarios that would play out as this overwhelming "crushing response" from Iran. Maybe playing defense bitches.
