At short range, Tehran's newly upgraded MiG-29 interceptors are a match for just about anything in the air.

...ummm, how much *training* do Iran's current pilots have on these platforms?

MiG-29s are also gas-guzzlers. By the time the mullahs launched their MiG-29s, the Israelis will already be in striking distance for some of their weapons like the Popeye cruise missile or the nuclear-tipped Harpoon they are belived to have.

I think the only training the Iranian pilots need is how to deploy the ejection seat.

MiG 29 vs F-22 Turkey shoot. F-22 wins.
