They may have 509 aircraft, but a single F-22 can take them all out.
The best they have is about 20 still barely functioning F-14s and a handful of F-4's.
A single sortie by a few F-22 and F-35s would make very short work of them.

GlobalFirepower.com clearly shows all the reasons why Iran never wants a war with the U.S. For instance, we have 13,398 aircraft and 24 aircraft carriers. Iran has 509 aircraft and they have 0 aircraft carriers. Even Russia has 1 old aircraft carrier and it is out of service.
Because Nanzi will single handedly nag the entire country to death?
24? Maybe if you count the carriers in the mothball fleet.
How many flying carpets? LOL!!
Carrier count must also count those used for the Bikini a-bomb test and those now serving as artificial reefs somewhere.
24 is bogus as Hello.
Maybe if you count the Helo/VTOL ships.
Don’t forget that we have Rambo.
I think they are counting our helicopter carriers as well as fixed-wing carriers. Our LPHs are larger than many other countries fleet carriers.
we unfortunately also have rambutt...
aka peter buttgiggles...
They must be counting LHAs/LHDs.
According wikipedia.org, the United States Navy has 11 large nuclear-powered fleet carriers—carrying around 80 fighter jets each—the largest carriers in the world; the total combined deck space is over twice that of all other nations combined.
You mean peter buttgig.....

After GW I, Iraq and Iran battled each other for a decade and neither actually won.
The US/Coalition defeated Hussain in a matter of days during both GW I and GW II.
Despite different opinions about quantities, they do have the ability to compare across the board numbers as between two countries.
Great story...I love it! Kiss my @ss and go home!
he’s always got that sh*t eating grin on his face...
Hmmm. I always thought the 80s were before 1991?.
Allahu Fubar!
He’s probably got some spare time, provided he has healed up, now that he just finished off an entire Mexican sex trafficing cartel...
