All that shite talking they have done for decades and they were rendered useless in less than a week as Israeli jets are flying unchecked through Iranian airspace. How does this happen?

It’s hard to put into words just how wide the gap is between an F35 and an F14.

Think about this. That shithole country fought Iraq for 8 years. We decimated the Iraqi military in a few days during Desert Storm…

I don't think they have an air force any more. What they had was probably significantly inferior to your average air national guard in the US. This is true for most countries.

They put all their marbles into missiles and drones. And small fast boats. Realizing it was a big mistake. If you own the air you own the country

Someone posted on the OT the other day an image of all the flights that were going around Iran air space, with the exception of 1.

Im guessing that 1 made it and only emboldened everyone else tying to shut Iran the frick up.

Don’t be fricking stupid. Compared to the F35, the F14 is a sling while the F35 is a rifle.

Iran has 0 shot in a conventional war against that. Full stop.

I don’t think people truly understand the gap in technology and capability between our military and everybody else.

We got bogged down in nation building and insurgencies, but in terms of nation states, nobody can really stand up.

The F-35 has been flying unchallenged in Iranian airspace since the jump. We sell the F-35 but we refuse to sell the F-22 so chew on that.

Hell, unless I’m mistaken, the F-15 is undefeated and that’s the a generation older.

Trump did say yesterday that we had control of their airspace.

He was right again

All they gotta do is fly flow in the mountains and use guns.
