What on earth are you talking about? The F-22 isn't aimed at Iran. The F-22 is an air superiority fighter. Shooting down Iran's fighters would take about a minute and a half with existing technology -- no need for an expensive upgrade. The basic problem with Iran is negating their antiaircraft capabilities. F22 in its ground attack role would probably not be a step up and the US has other options that make more sense.
The F22 is aimed at maintaining core advantages over China and Russia, not Iran.
I was refering to this article being in a Irannian website.
As far as the US taking out Irans air force in minutes.. . The Iranians have the only existing force of 15 F-14A fighters in the world still flying. They have the F-4, the Mirage F-1 (Acquired from Iraq during Desert Storm). and other fighters.. plus they are acquiring new fighters from Russia.
I know the USAF is the premier air superiority force in the world.. I KNOW it will win in a conflict with Iran. But I would not take the IRAF lightly. The USAF during Vietnam.. did the same and paid for it.
