Sounds like both you and the writer of the article have an ax to grind with Petraus
Several people, not just Petreaus have incorrectly claimed we have air superiority.

My issues with Petreaus have absolutely nothing to do with his recent statements. I wasn't even aware of them until this thread.

I am wondering why there have no IAF manned aircraft lost yet. We shouldn't be doing the heavy lifting for their goat rope.

Without getting into the pissing contest here I feel like the munitions we use today are a hell of a lot more accurate.

Nice, as a Original F15E guy. I cant begin to tell you how much I hate working on your jet. Especially the aft cockpit with the seat out and the ammo bay. Most uncomfortable shite ever.

I assume you mean supremacy, which is what the title of the article you posted says. And what Patreus said.

Sorry I didn’t realize several people said it, and it therefore needed to be corrected by the guy who wrote the article, you who posted it, and you who continues to cling to it like a donkey to a waffle.

Yes, there’s a terrible misconception that we have achieved air supremacy over the entire country of Iran in 6 days

This site and the country owe you a debt of thanks for pointing this out

Please check back when we bomb the shite outta the 4 trucks driving around in the east with some SAMs in the back and confirm for us when supremacy has in your mind been reached.

Huh weird.

I wonder what the definition of air superiority is on the modern battlefield.

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



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."...


Came here to say this. TWZ sounds like a fourth tier off brand news site and I wasn't even going to bother cracking jokes until I saw it was Tyler Rogoway.

Tyler Rogoway is a class-A dipshit that founded a blog called Foxtrot Alpha that got rolled up in Jalopnik-Gawker and then exploded into collosal bankruptcy from a case of terminal TDS. All of their outlets went uber-TDS and became unreadable.

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.

That’s because people are using media to sow discontent among Americans watching. It’s called psychological warfare and manipulation.

And a vast majority in social media doing it are Islamic sympathizers
