The first stage of the maneuvers began with air strikes in the southeastern province of Sistan va Baluchistan, the report said.

Given the poor state of the Iranian Air Force, they won't be able to fly many excercises like that. If hostilities were to occur, they'd be the first on the "things to destroy" list.

Are they still flying F4 Phantoms or did they upgrade to MIGs purchased from Russia?
