Iran's government was new then and had re-develop its military capability. Iran is capable of sending any military vessel, without qualification, to the bottom of the Persian Gulf today.

Operation Praying Matis happened in 1987, when Iranian Weaponry was still state of the art.

Now all the western weaponry Iran posses are obsolete and no one has verified the capabilities of Iran's indigenous weaponry.

I highly doubt that Iran can send any US Warship to the bottom of the Gulf.

If China fears the US Navy, then who the heck is Iran to challenge the US Navy.

Fantasys can happen , its used by the government trying to show you are stronger than what you are. I remember Iraq , people thought they was so strong but their quantity and propoganda was nothing.

Well, obviously if the Iranians only have propaganda then Israel/US would have already attacked them. Just listen to their ridiculous bullshit - "We will attack Iran in a few years, when its really on the brink of nuclear weapons". Is this believable to you? The principle of pre emptive strike is to strike now, before they can build it, but they are coming up with some pathetic excuse that they will attack Iran next year.

Why next year? So that Iran can mass produce thousands more of ballistic missiles? So that Iran can continue to mass produce all their anti-air weapons systems, and finish research on their new systems? So that they can transfer thousands of more missiles to Hezbollah?

Iran says its finishing research on Bavar-373 now, in two years they will have sufficient numbers of it. They have produced the Mesbah-1 recently, while America was threatening them since 2003. It can shoot down (they say) cruise missiles, and it definitely can shoot down any PGM's that Israel may use on a strike. Still America and Israel is "waiting" until Iran is nearly producing a bomb? Why didn't they attack before Iran had such systems ready?

They are fully sanctioning Iran, I wonder why didn't they also wait until Iran was "nearly producing a bomb"? Why sanction now, and not bomb?

The fact is that America and Israel are scared of Iran, and that is why they have such pathetic excuses like that. If they could bomb Iran, they would not waste time, and would have bombed Iran before. Now day by day as Iran gets stronger, the prospect decreases.

That tells us that America/Israel doesn't consider Iranian actions all "propaganda". They consider it deadly serious, and that's why they havent' dared to attack Iran.

MIG-29 is very good fighter for our purposes. we use these fighters with our tactics not with west tactics. kind of fighter is important but strategy and tactic is more important.

Quoted for truth......this is what many don't get when it comes to dealing with Iran......their arrogance is Iran's blessing.

Iran had just came out of a revolution with its military in disarray.....Iraq had all the support and weapons power to do what it set out to do. Iranians stopped them cold and Iran's Airforce had the Irqi jet hidding for their lives, however hiding them didn't help either....thy were all bombed in daring missions.

Now all the western weaponry Iran posses are obsolete and no one has verified the capabilities of Iran's indigenous weaponry.

This is what you don't understand about aviation and aircraft....think this way, the B-52s are obsolete but still effective today.

I highly doubt that Iran can send any US Warship to the bottom of the Gulf.

If China fears the US Navy, then who the heck is Iran to challenge the US Navy.

lol yourself....Iran is not challenging the USA or anyone......they say if attacked then expect the worst war you ever had. It is a warning

 

[Quasar]

guess again they added an extra tail but this time to their Mig 29s

Your ignorance of history and warfare is very obvious, Attila the Hun wasn't a great warrior he was a sadistic megaloman , you sound a bit like him.

I do not think that you know anything about geo-starategy or warfare , but you are repeating some old negative views, even if The US ultimately lost the war in Iraq, I won't blame you if you are an adolescent, but if you are an adult you should further your education more about the subjects that you want to discuss, or maybe you just want to improve your English.

Correction; Iran upgraded 100 fighter jets including the Mig-29 (2 of them took 24 months to upgrade, so it is easier to upgrade the rest now -about 40 of them-), this includes the Tomcats, the F-5s, the Saequas, the Azarakhshs, the SUs and more.
Besides that, it is capable of overhauling and upgrading whole weapon systems like its Kilo class submarines, its missiles and many more .

Doesnt Iran classify one of its frigate/corvettes as a Destroyer?

This is what you don't understand about aviation and aircraft....think this way, the B-52s are obsolete but still effective today.

Bad argument. The reason why the old B-52 is still effective is because its replacements/superiors belongs to the same side that created it, in other words, a weapon is only as useful as its adversaries will allow it to be. The rifle surpassed and supplanted the sling, the arrow and the spear, but the AK-47 remains despite the M-16. Why? Because both rifles shares the same basic technology and 'design for purpose', whereas the single shot sniper rifle came from the old single shot utility rifle and while are still useful, its usage is relegated to a very narrow niche in the military.

 

[Azatavrear]

The reason the B-52 still rocks its because of the men and women who make it happen using parts/components from the none flyable ones with ingenuity, experience, safety, and hard work.....same go for the love and pride of the IAF, the F-14. Those operational Tomcats are not only as good as before but upgrades have been implemented geared towards engagement of the enemy in the defense of the country in a ever changing terrain.....you could bomb Iran here and there but you will never establish complete aerial superiority or even think of declaring a no fly zone over it.

Iran being the only operator of F-14s with seasoned pilots is the envy of many including American Air force/Navy pilots where there is mutual respect dating back to 1970's......pound for pound the cat is better than the Hornet, but much more expensive to operate.

When was the last time someone saw an iranian F-14 in the air ?

Yes and there is a very good reason for that . In persian we have just 3 group of military ships "ناو هواپیمابر" which means aircraft carrier , "رزمناو" which mean battleship and all the rest is called "ناوشکن"
And for the information if you translate ناوشکن what you get will be Destroyer

 

[Hack-Hook]

you can ask your Navy ,those planes fly on daily bases over the Persian Gulf.

 

[ihealugo]

Last time i remember was when two F14 Tomcats were scorting two russian Sukhoi during their flight from Dubai i think to the Minsk....
