Why didn’t Iran acquire su30s or other high tech aircraft from Russia ? They were sitting on a lot of cash

first of all our f-14 fleet is not 25, f-14s gonna be in our air space, f-14 uses superior weapons. also you are forgeting to take su-24s in your equation, with kh-58 they can easily take out SA+UAE ADs. our f-4s have massive payload and they are great at A2G missions. UAE gonna be toasted in any attack.Every asset with GCC countries except their training aircraft is levels superior to anything Iran fields today.
Their 25 odd operational F-14s are going to be outmatched by a F-15SA in BVR combat 4 times out of 5 if the Saudis are given access to AIM-120D.
The rest of Iranian fleet is obsolete and will have better effectiveness only when operating under SAM cover over their own airspace.
Where the Iranian own the upper hand against states like UAE is with ballistic and cruise(likely) systems that can deploy across the Strait of Hormuz against critical infrastructure along the GCC coast.
Additionally, Iran can increase attacks by its proxies in Yemen to offset conventional losses and fallbacks.

I only see repetitive feel good images with you just trying to make yourself happy without actually looking into how many F-14s are serviceable, how many AIM-54 or even Modified HAWK sams they have.. I haven’t talked about Ex-Iraqi assets which have sketchy serviceability as well.first of all our f-14 fleet is not 25, f-14s gonna be in our air space, f-14 uses superior weapons. also you are forgeting to take su-24s in your equation, with kh-58 they can easily take out SA+UAE ADs. our f-4s have massive payload and they are great at A2G missions.

if you understand what i posted up there you can understand that our AF is bigger problem compared to BMs, while the BMs is a great danger for them lol.
sanctions.
i showed you anti radar missiles with 200 km range, A2G munitions with 70-100 km range, buddy-buddy refuling pod, radar guided glide bombs with 60 km range and cluster bombs.I only see repetitive feel good images with you just trying to make yourself happy
last time i asked some people they said there is a sizable stash of AIM-54 and sedjills in AF, beside that we are making fakour missile which derivative of phoenix and hawk missiles for last two decade.how many AIM-54 or even Modified HAWK sams they have
we overhaul our planes by ourselves, we overhauled and gave syria 10 su-22 and 10 for IRGCASF.I haven’t talked about Ex-Iraqi assets which have sketchy serviceability as well
where they gonna land if al dhafra airport destroyed??While a few KH-58 strikes may disrupt AD in UAE it will do nothing to stop their airforces

a huge LMAOno i'm just saying no 4th generation fighter can enter our airspace.
a huge LMAO
have you heard america deploying CHAMP missiles to counter your air defences?Why "lmao"? Iran's air defence is extremely potent. Unless they can overwhelm it, which is not very likely, then all 4th gen planes are very easy prey.
have you heard america deploying CHAMP missiles to counter your air defences?
Because they have no other assets.hi i have a question for you, can Iran repair and fly a f_4 fighter jet that has been destroyed by 70% a fighter that is so damaged that its been addressed by the United States as not repairable? can they?
mostly looks like a propaganda, why you should study years and build missiles to transmit EMP to disable a TEL while they can be loaded with conventional warhead and destroy the TEL??have you heard america deploying CHAMP missiles to counter your air defences?
THAAD, Patriot, Hawk, (plus some other hardware), we'll switch all of them off. Let us know when they are coming.Where the Iranian own the upper hand against states like UAE is with ballistic and cruise(likely) systems that can deploy across the Strait of Hormuz against critical infrastructure along the GCC coast.

F14 vs F15... two American products ...who cares! ..Why not compare latest Saudi made supper camel (special pepper dispenser installed in their butts ..courtesy of Saudi institute of camel production!)..vs Iran's Kowsar jet fighter... (you get the point!!!!).
To Mr Khafee.I intend no personal insults but if you are an educated Saudi citizen or an honest Saudi sympathizer (not in their payroll)...please keep in mind that in a case of direct war between Iran and Saudi your beloved country is so badly exposed that no amount of F-15 or F-xx will give you a victory ...Just look at the performance of your armed forces against flip flop wearing tobacco chewing Houthis... making topics such as F-15 vs F-14 for people who's contribution to these aircrafts has been only to sign the cheques is absurd.
Just to make sure you understand my point ..yes your foreign made weapons will make some damage to Iran but Iran is self sufficient in food production, Industrial production and natural water availability so Iran will suffer but will not be defeated..In the other hand Saudi controlled Arabia will be:
So how do I see Arabia after the war with Iran..... Back to your tents and camels in the middle of sand just as it has been for ever...
- 30 million inhabitant looking for water (your water desalination facilities gone!)
- No food (your ports badly damaged so no imported food!)
- The professional ranks of foreign experts already gone so no power ,no phone, no Internet, no airlines..etc
- NO oil income (oil facilities all gone and your paid admirers have stopped admiring you since cheques have not arrived!)
- ISIL savages that you trained are looking at what is left and you guess the rest..
conclusion: Dont F**ck with Iran.
because they rather use the least amount of their troops... don't you remember significant portion of their military is filled with snowflakes and psychopaths?mostly looks like a propaganda, why you should study years and build missiles to transmit EMP to disable a TEL while they can be loaded with conventional warhead and destroy the TEL??
well the chinese... sureThose weapons are enough to impress bunch of kids on these forums, in real life, these fancy weapons will end up being hacked by people like Iranians, Chinese etc.
Because they have no other assets.
The Shah was visionary in the sense that he wanted Iran to be independent of external support.. hence for all assets he got he wanted Maintenance support within country.
The same goes for F-4.. the US has phased out the F-4 and has no need to repair it.. Both with the Iran-Contra affair and in the 90’s they found every machine tool and jig for the spares from any source they could find.
The F-14 has been more difficult since most tooling was destroyed right after phase out.
well the chinese... sure
can;t say that about iran though
