So, do we know how good the Iranian pilots are as Fighter-jet drivers?
The US trained Iranian pilots back in the '70's. Pathetic isn't it?
Depends on how the IAF would do the whole show. They have managed air space with AWACs in the past. Would they be able to commit AWACs for support? What about fighter escort?
My knowledge of how they could achieve success is lacking, but they will need our help with forward staging or refueling. Most likely both. FWIW, my money is on an Israeli pilot, providing he/she is not concentrating on air to mud.
