The Misconception That Air Supremacy Has Been Achieved Over Iran
Posted on 3/6/26 at 6:12 pm
Posted on 3/6/26 at 6:12 pm
There are growing misconceptions that the U.S. and Israel have achieved total control of the airspace in Iran and sanitized the threat of ground-based air defenses to a degree that their forces have relatively free rein — commonly referred to as air supremacy. This is absolutely not true, nor has this been the outright claim of the U.S. military. It also should be of no surprise at this point in the campaign.
In the coming days, we will see operations continue to shift farther east, and strike packages become more tailored to operating in permissible airspace over certain areas of the country. That being said, we are a ways out from declaring air dominance over Iran.

Its going to be CCP and Russia supplying delaying logistics and hardware.
Proxy wars have been going on for a long, long time.

Obviously true considering they're now trying to acquire drone fighting capabilities from Ukraine.

Lol at the fricking downvotes from people who won't even refute the linked article.

China will give Iran and endless supply of weaponry if they think they are weakening the US

Why shouldn’t we do this with Russia and Ukraine?

How exactly is china going to resupply Iran with the presence of two US CSGS?

So this guy who writes the article knows more than the military leaders who are saying we do have control by and large?
So here is the "about the author"
"Tyler’s passion is the study of military technology, strategy, and foreign policy and he has fostered a dominant voice on those topics in the defense media space. He was the creator of the hugely popular defense site Foxtrot Alpha before developing The War Zone."...
Well hot damed that settles it!

How do you know?

I guess 100% air supremacy will never be had. They could still throw rocks at our passing jets. Then you have the slingshots, bow and arrows, blow guns, water balloons...

It's from an article I linked in the OP. You should give it a read.

You're talking about the same military leaders who are currently trying to acquire drone fighting technology from the Ukraine. They don't have total air supremacy yet. Obviously.

Believe it's a mistake to underestimate Iran's ability here, especially with their drone prowess

I didn't down vote but the guy that wrote the article doesnt know very much about aircraft, then he claims to talk to a pilot and the guy gives answers that tells me he doesn't know how two basic avionics systems work. The guy is also unnamed which tells me he is full of shite. I just stopped reading after that.

If B52's are bombming them they have superiority.
