The Iranian air force will hold wargames during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which began in Iran on Tuesday, a military commander said.

"Large wargames of the armed forces' air force will be held in the blessed month of Ramadan," said Iran's armed forces commander-in-chief, Brigadier-General Ataollah Salehi, Fars News Agency reported.

I’d love to see the accident statistics after it’s over.
What do Muslim pilots do? Fly towards Mecca and pray?

How can those pious Muslim pilots fly during Ramadan when they aren't allowed to drink and eat... Maybe it'll rain planes with unconscious, exhausted pilots.

I’d be wary of a sneak attack of some kind with them scheduling military exercises during a time of strict religious observance and fervor.

Iranian war games are more like every day games. Nov. 5 sounds like a good day to bring the house down on those centrifuges.

Here’s the question. Who has more non-flying aircraft; the boneyard at Davis-Montham AFB or the Iranian AF?

The Airforce pilots gave a one word response. “PULL”
