Lots of reports that the Iranian Air Force is now in Iraqi airspace.


Highly doubt this..

It’s probably US fighters

Is there any clarification on the report that the Iranian air force has been deployed? Are they implying that Iranian jets were involved in the strikes or simply in Iranian air space patrolling?


If true, I suspect that they are scrambling jets to keep them from being destroyed on the ground.

Russia said that they would willingly sell the S-400 to Iran, as recently as June of last year. The Chinese foreign minister just met with the Iranians the other day, after the Soleimani assassination. They will surely provide material support to the Iranians.


It's a bit late for that. The US military can obliterate all of Iran's war-making capabilities in about 3 days with minimal risk. Now is the time to do it as well.

Could be propaganda. Stay off Twitter Their Airforce wants none of this.


I would think it is more of a defensive maneuver. Idol planes on the ground at known airbases are easy targets for destruction. In the air, they are a little harder to destroy... But they probably woudn't even be the targets.

40 and 50 yo F-14's and F-4's, held together with bailing wire, because they're parts embargoed. They wouldn't last 10 minutes. If shite hits the fan look for IIAF to run to Russia.

I have no doubt that Russia and China’s silence throughout this process is a sign of those two countries willingness for us to put our tech on display against what they’ve sold to Iran.


Here's to hoping that Iran, Russia and China get a little surprise about the technology disparity.

We will see. Iran's military doctrine is designed with regards to asymmetry with regards to an invasion. Airstrikes can surely hurt them, though.

Yeah. Use those outdated junk piles. IT will look like US airforce vs the aliens round 1 in independence day except they don't have Will Smith.

No one is invading Iran. We can completely neuter them with air and missiles just like Odyssey Dawn.

Remember, Trump didn't say we would respond if there were US casualties, only if there were attacks on US interests. These bases are US interests.
