[lowtimedriver]

Without poking into classified info, is Iran's Air Defense capability formidable or would we go though there like $hit through a goose?

We can hot mop pretty much anyone.

A B-2 could fly over Moscow, London, Havana, and any other country and not a sole would be the wiser.

Yes, but what if the radar operator is a heel?

Iran flies the F-14 Tomcat. With it radar it can shoot down just about anything outside of 100 NM. I'd would think they are a very serious threat to just about anything including the Falcon and Raptor.

Stick to instructing 152s, Instructordude. You're WAY out of your league on military capability, qualitative analysis, weapons system capability, and tactics.

The answer is sh*t through a goose.

Correction, Iran HAS some F-14's that are over 20 years without parts, trained support staff, up to date missiles, and Iranian pilots. (They have oil, money, and crazy which to me is the scarey part.) IMHO if they could ever get an F-14 airborne, it would just be another symbol painted on the outside of a US fighter cockpit at the end of the day.

I would also say "thru a Goose", but I think the Israeli’s have a prior claim to that party and no Socialist as Commander and Chief.

Idiot.....


They have been "VFR" only for some time. No parts, and a very MX intensive A/C that have not really been maintained well since 1979.
