The only things the Iranians have that could reach the carriers would be their ballistic missiles, which couldn't hit them but by some really, really good dumb luck and their Air Force, most of which would be broken and burning on their airfields

In the event of a kamakazi attack I wonder how many air to air ac would have to follow the strike ac to make sure they didn't chicken out at the last minute. Is Iran like SA where the wealthy get to fly or do they pick hard-core jihadi's for their jets?
