It barely matters. We’re doing a fine job of tearing ourselves apart.

None due to the arms embargo.

In event they come after US fighters it will work out just like it did when Libyan MIGS came after Tomcats. Live target practice is quality training.

Russian and chinese aircraft are reverse engineered copies of other country’s aircraft. They look similar, but cannot compete with our aircraft.

Okay, none of consequence. Iran’s motley collection of cast offs, license builts, and geriatric aircraft do not amount to much. Which is why they want a tranche of new model fighter bombers that would clearly violate the current UN arms embargo.

Which expires in October. No doubt the orders will be in by early November.

As we already know that muslims are prone to self extermination in furtherance of their religion any
modern jet purchases should be considered one way
suicide missions. Pretty useless purchase of a
modern fighter aircraft

Probably. But the US and Europe together might be able to swing an extension. China seems the more likely source for new fighter bombers for the Iranian Air Force, with Russian arms production being increasingly problematic as to cost, quality, and delivery times.
