Iran Overhauls Strategic Mig-29 Fighter Jets

how many fulcrum Iran does have?

You still have a fighting chance against F-16s, and i can only say 'God bless your soul' if pitted against F-22.

During one of the exercises an F-16 had a kill on an F-22.

In WVR, even Typhoon and Rafale locked it from a considerable distance with their IRST.

F-22 is Rafale IRST screen.

Now some facts, apart from Indian (not sure) and Russian Mig-29s, none are equipped with IRST, and in actual combat, none can come close to F-22.

Aren't these exercises supposed to simulate the situations in "actual combat" ?

Pods such as LITENING or Sniper will do the same job

No one's denying that. I said Mig-29s before the M variant wasn't equipped with IRST.

Every air warfare exercise has some pre-defined conditions, so as it seems, this was strictly WVR engagement.

Not everybody agrees with what you say.

Middle East HSE manager tells the Pakistani fleet supervisor to ensure that the tanker is clearly labeled “Diesel Fuel” and “No Smoking” in Arabic.This is what he got…
(and, he even mis-spelled "Arabic" once!

 

[ashdoc]

its laughable to see mig 29 being called strategic fighter .

it has a combat radius of only 500 km .

 

[doublemaster]

Any info about next iranian fighter jet programs? When could they develop 4-5 grade fighters

 

[ihealugo]

ok, just listen !
When RD33 engines are working , after the "afterburner" section of the engine , the engine become full of smoke , and after that it must release it to the air ...... so it cause that smoke! now if you put a filter on that you can reduce the smoke ! but when you increase the heigh , the problem is solved ! so it is not needed in fact ......
