Seriously how many times have we heard this? Why are they thirtsing over our planes.
Because they're awesome fighters and Russia has already received partial payment of the $2.1 billion from us, so they can sell them to Iran at a discount which is very enticing for Iran. Also Iran has been in the market for Su-30s for over 10 years, now, and they see this as a huge opportunity to not only get a great deal, but to stick it to those who caused the breaking of the contract, namely the US & the Jews. Which BTW, how stupid would it be that if this does come to fruition, those jets will be much more dangerous in Iran's hands than in ours vis a vis the Jews.
They're only hoping that if and when they finally plan an attack on Iran, they will be met with Iran's older jets. Now they would be facing a much more formidable defense if the IRIAF is flying a couple of squadrons of these fighters plus their air defense. So by imposing CAATSA on Egypt and causing this result, it has backfired on them and has deprived us, their peaceful neighbor and ally of the US the ability to have them and use them in peacetime and only in defense. So it was stupid for the US to do that.
Moreover, if it is true, it will be so disappointing that Sisi & Co. were strong-armed by the US. That might be just as bad as losing the jets.
And theyre still operating on old info, theres way more than 24 fighters in the factory already produced
You think there are more than 29 or 30?
