Don't worry, if these jets are like most Russian equipment they're total garbage.

Like any other aircraft that could be sold to Iran they won't be of any use as smoldering ash on some cratered runway.

At least we'll know what to shoot down.

Good when we send the B-2's, F-117's, F-22's and cruise missiles we can target the hangers along with the regime and nuclear facilities. :)

Su-25 isn't a fighter, per se - it's an attack aircraft, along the lines of an A-10, only somewhat faster than the A-10. Hate to try to fly one against a real air-to-air dogfighter.

The sources said the contract was concluded in 2005 and deliveries would take place in 2006.

I'd sure like to know the EXACT date that this contract with Russia was concluded. I'm not into wearing tinfoil, but I still don't trust Russia.

It really doesn't matter how good these jets are when the Iranians only have three of them. They would be destroyed quickly if deployed against several U.S. jets.

This Russia-Iran connection lately is more like 'will work for food' where the 'sucker' is actually Russia. 

Call me a heretic if you want but Iran (muslim nutbags) has plans to take over Russia before they will attack Israel or the US.

When BushCo succeeds with its plot to start a major war against Iran, all of us "real" Americans must sacrifice by placing more yellow ribbons on our SUV's.

We shot them down in Korea,Viet Nam, and the Mid East, bring them on. Nothing like live target practice for our boys.

Where are the Putinists? I am quite sure that they would have something to say.

A nice addition to the Russian fighter jets delivered by Iraq in Gulfwar I.

I think they should keep buying repackaged Soviet era technology.

Yeah, but do they have "Maverick" and "Iceman" to fly them?

OK. Did anyone want to make another disparaging remark about the f-22 here?

This is why we need the f-22/f-35.
