1. Do you think Iran can't detect(Not target) Stealth Aircraft & Cruise missiles using Early Warning Systems before they can fly 100's of km into Iranian Air Space? If so & if you believe in Swarm attacks then the idea that SAM's are harder to destroy is a miss conception because a ready Air Force will scramble it's jet.
2. Any fixed (radar) based Sam like the Hawk, Sayad-1, SA-1, SA-2, SA-5 systems will have it's radars taken out. And long before they send in an Air Force they'll have cheap armed UAV's flying at high altitudes to clear a path searching for mobile radar systems & SAM's and in both cases finding Aircrafts with Air refueling capability that have scrambled into the Air is much harder to find
3. Would a country build a stronger & more protective bunker for a $100 Million USD Aircraft or a $5Million-$20 Million USD SAM Tel's? & Iran has such a limited number of S-300 that they'll likely be prime target number 1 in a US attack.
4.Any Aircraft or SAM Iran buys or builds HAS to be EMP shielded because even the US is not stupid enough to attack Iran without their use!
5.And this is the MOST important part requiring the Air Force to have R&D program that's required to design & build the most advanced fighter jet prototype within their capabilities every 2 years should be a minimum requirement. And the government just needs to provide or help them build the tools(like Vacuumed ovens of all sizes....) and materials (at least 40 tones of titanium every 2 years,...) and require their R&D team to design & build the most advanced Air Frame & Engine within their capabilities until they have something worth producing 10 years down the line. AND the most important part is the fact that this is NOT just about having an Air Force in fact the most important part is creating an intelligent & experience workforce that will later contribute to Iran's civilian sector or defense industry in various fields!
This is why the to 10 most advanced countries, who are the top 10 largest producers of the world also have the top 10 largest defense budgets (Except for Saudi Arabia that buy's it's weapons) Because there is a direct coloration between a countries defense budget & it's technological & production capability because most new technologies and achievements get either directly transferred to the civilian sector or indirectly via an experienced work force so it's NOT just about the Air Force having a bunch of new fighter Jets it's about advancing you countries capabilities and high tech workforce in various fields that will later contribute to the civilian sector
Providing the Air Force with 20tones of titanium a year & a few tools & requiring them to build the most advanced prototype within their capabilities every 2 years is not going to stop Iran from mass producing Missiles & UAVs
And honestly I would put 90% of the blame on Air Force commanders because they should have pushed the country towards Titanium production 20 years ago!
Iran's Air Force has not even built an Air Frame sufficient enough for there to be a real discussion about Missiles vs Fighter jets!
Look at what IRGC Aerospace Forces have done when it comes to Missiles and how Iran civilian Space Industry is starting to boom...
Look at what Iran's Navy has done in the past 2 decades and now Iran's Civilian Naval industry is starting to boom
All you have to do to truly comprehend it is look at the growth of facilities off Busher, Bandar Abbas, ISOICO, Bandar Anzali,... in the past 20 years!
Iran's Navy may not have the funding to build whatever it wants but the R&D they did and creating experience for their conscripts & full time personal in design & R&D created an experienced workforce who turned around and contributed to Iran's Civilian Sector which in many ways is still at it's infancy.
And this happened due to proper leadership! Iran's Navy & IRGC Aerospace forces understood and reacted to sanction as if they were at war & they understood that it may be a different type of war that they are fighting today but it is a war none the less and they responded accordingly same with Iran's Air Defense Force once they separated from the Air Force they didn't just site back and wait to be handed something
While Iran's Air Force stood back and complained about being handed equipment! Today the IRGC is more capable of building UAV's than Iran's Air Force so this is not about funding it's about proper leadership and lack of proper planning
U.S. built the F-14 in the late 60's at a time when industrial robots, computer aided precision guided cutting equipment, composite materials, 3D printers,.... didn't exist! So when Iran's Air Force was faced with sanctions they should have responded to that threat accordingly but they didn't and IRIAF hasn't built a prototype where I can sit here and argue for additional funding in fighter production over Iranian Built Missiles & UCAV
This is a PC-7

So did they install weapons on both?
He also said Iran is building a new combat aircraft by upgrading the Saegheh which is absurd and nothing but a waist of TIME and Resources!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He should be fired or they should have someone like Shamkhani come in and start up a real R&D program
IRIAF clearly took no lesson from their experience in the Iran-Iraq war which clearly showed light fighters with no Air Refueling capabilities to be quite useless!!!!!!
F-5's small radars is less capable in range than IRST, Their engines and Air Frames are just too small & weak for Air-Air refueling
And I understand building the Azarakhsh & Saegheh for R&D purposes but not to move on to a bigger and better Airframe & engine and to spend funding & resources to produce that fighter is like shooting yourself in the foot because it terms of range it wont be able to fly 300km outside Iranian Airspace with a sufficient payload so your better off using Fatteh Class Missiles, UAV's, UCAV's & cheaper cruise missiles for attack missions!
In terms of Air to Air capabilities It's lack of IRST, sufficient thrust, maneuverability, sensor & targeting capability makes it useless in Air to Air operation!
And reducing the F-5's RCS by adding V shaped stabilizers doesn't make much sense when they are required to carry their weapons externally & the reason it makes sense on the F/A-18 is 1st you need 2 stabilizers for increased yaw to get precision landing on a moving Aircraft Carrier 2ndly it reduces the height of the stabilizers without loosing yaw power.
(Other reasons include lower RCS upon returning to the carrier reduces the chances for the enemy to approximate the location of the carrier group, increase drag & control at the tail helps with better control upon decent on a carrier also gives the aircraft higher angle of attack capability
So on a carrier the benefits out way cost of increased drag which leads to higher fuel consumption, reduced payload & reduced speeds.
But aside from R&D to put V shaped stabilizers on a F-5 that already has problems with Thrust, Speed, Range & Payload is absurd!
For a country the size of Iran to produce a fighter without Air refueling capability is absurd enough!
I think any IRIAF commander that doesn't develop a new fighter prototype & a new Jet engine prototype every 2 years should be fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And this guy wants a medal for putting a weapon on 50's era fighter! Even China started producing the J-7 in the 60's
SOMEONE FIRE THIS GUY!
I think Mr rozkhosh could match pdf standards as great member
if he was member here . he is clearly trolling by say this even ww1 airplanes is enough for our enemies
