Ayatollahs try to remedy the national depression over economy with comedy news like this.

 

[Azatavrear]

The ability to track, target and simultaneously engage several targets at once is no problem for modern fighter aircraft. And the US already has more aircraft in the area then Iran has. and thats not counting the GCC aircraft should Iran decide to try and close the straights or attack GCC countries as it has threatened to do.

If Iran gets attacked then expect the unexpected.......you would say the same if it was the US.

Like I said, its not practical at this time and still under testing. Rumors have it that a few aircraft have been modified to be able to handle this power draw without blowing their generators and lighting up like a Christmas tree on the radar screen, and it design to target cruise missiles only, thats all

SA has old tech f-15s and will be getting, on a period of 20 years the latest new F-15 technologies !!!?(no comment)
while Iran is upgrading its F-14s right now when they are needed, and they call them new F-14s.

So there is no comedy in this, it is deadly serious.

Pakistan should get at least one or two squadrons of F-15s, it will add some potent value to its air force.

Who the hell told you it is on a period of 20 years? Delivery starts on 2014 genius.

Old!!! Those old jets are the backbone of Israel and US air forces:

United States
United States Air Force operate 254 F-15C/D aircraft (222 in the Active Air Force and 32 in the ANG) as of September 2010.

Israel
Israeli Air Force has operated F-15s since 1977. The IAF has 43 F-15A/B/C/D (20 F-15A, 6 F-15B, 11 F-15C, and 6 F-15D) aircraft in service as of January 2011.

Saudi Arabia

70 Boeing F-15S Strike Eagle to be upgraded to SA standard
84 Boeing F-15C/D Eagle
84 Boeing F-15SA 84 on order

Nobody in this thread cares about Saudi, or what gifts their masters USA send them to keep them occupied... This thread is about Iran, stay on topic.

1977 technology. you do not call that old, but the F-14 is old, you should get world Guinness record in stupidity.

you evidently didn't read the article which is 7 years old with much of those AESA upgrades having been done. It is also one article out of many on the subject. anyone with an ounce of knowledge in AESA radar knows it's beam can be focused and used as a weapon. just last year an AN/APG-81 on the CAT-BIRD F-35 test aircraft located and jammed 2 F-22 radars at range rendering them useless.

You better bow to the coming new world order.
It has nothing to do with 1977 tech Mr. Genius. It's like you are saying since f-16 was first made in 1974, all F-16s have 1974 tech and F-16 block 1 is the same as F-16 block 60, while in fact they are two totally different aircrafts, it's like you compare between those two although they have the same name, F-16:

F-16 block 1

F-16 block 60

The single-seat F-15C and two-seat F-15D models entered production in 1978 and conducted their first flights in February and June of that year.[18] These models were fitted with the Production Eagle Package (PEP 2000), which included 2,000 lb (900 kg) of additional internal fuel, provisions for carrying exterior conformal fuel tanks, and an increased maximum takeoff weight of up to 68,000 lb (30,700 kg).[19] The increased takeoff weight allows internal fuel, a full weapons load, conformal fuel tanks, and three external fuel tanks to be carried. The APG-63 radar uses a programmable signal processor (PSP), enabling the radar to be reprogrammable for additional purposes such as the addition of new armaments and equipment. The PSP was the first of its kind in the world, and the upgraded APG-63 radar was the first radar to use it. Other improvements on the C and D models included strengthened landing gear, a new digital central computer,[20] and an overload warning system, which allows the pilot to fly the fighter to 9 g at all weights.[18]
The F-15 Multistage Improvement Program (MSIP) was initiated in February 1983 with the first production MSIP F-15C produced in 1985. Improvements included an upgraded central computer; a Programmable Armament Control Set, allowing for advanced versions of the AIM-7, AIM-9, and AIM-120A missiles; and an expanded Tactical Electronic Warfare System that provides improvements to the ALR-56C radar warning receiver and ALQ-135 countermeasure set. The final 43 F-15Cs included the enhanced-capability Hughes APG-70 radar, which was developed for the F-15E. These 43 F-15Cs with APG-70 radar are sometimes referred as Enhanced Eagles. Earlier MSIP F-15Cs with the APG-63 were upgraded to the APG-63(V)1 to significantly improve maintainability and enable performance similar to the APG-70. Existing F-15s were retrofitted with these improvements.[21]
In 1979, McDonnell Douglas and F-15 radar manufacturer, Hughes, teamed to privately develop a strike fighter version of the F-15. This version competed in the Air Force's Dual-Role Fighter competition starting in 1982. The Boeing F-15E strike variant was selected for production in 1984.[22] Beginning in 1985, F-15C and D models were equipped with the improved P&W F100-220 engine and digital engine controls, providing quicker throttle response, reduced wear, and lower fuel consumption. Starting in 1997, original F100-100 engines were upgraded to a similar configuration with the designation F100-220E starting.[23]
Beginning in 2007, 178 USAF F-15Cs were retrofitted with the AN/APG-63(V)3 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar.[24] A significant number of F-15s are to be equipped with the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS).[25] Lockheed Martin is working on an IRST system for the F-15C.[26] A follow-on upgrade called the Eagle passive/active warning survivability system (EPAWSS) was planned but remained unfunded.[27]

No he is right. F-14 is "old" because the manufacturer has not released updates in avionics, etc.
The F-15 & F-16 are contiously updated, and only the airframe is the only thing commom with the original.

Kinda like an anti virus program.

And the Iranians have been upgrading all their systems too, no one should expect more details about the overhauls and upgrades Iran is doing on its weapon systems, since it is the main one concerned by the American and Israeli war threats and has to keep many secrets "Top secret", It is an integral part of its defensive doctrine.
Hope you get the point this time.

 

[LeGenD]

The US knows all too well that it cannot attack Iran without suffering dire casualties in other arenas, hence why Israel is now beating the drums of attacking Iran, knowing full well that for any successful attack it will require the use of the US. But again, like 9/11 it will drag the US into another War needlessly

The US knows all too well about Vietnam. If they attack Iran, they will most likely win any forward confrontation, however Iran will make the US loose twn fold in Afghanistan with the body count mounting rapidly, hell even Pakistan may take that opportunity and arm the Taliban with very good tech to penetrate Abrams, and shoot down helicopters in the hope that the US will always blame Iran, or even China, in order to get the US to leave the region.

The US risks opening up a front it cannot contain, maintain or govern, hence the apprehension and need to get to 2014 for a withdrawal, but that may be too late for Iran to build a nuke, which I believe is their right. Especially when the US has thousands, and provided Israel with them and is the only country in the world to have used them knowingly killing INNOCENT UNARMED CIVILIANS.............. Not in much of a position to dictate to others now.......

This plane will give Iranians a good level of foundation level knowledge about plane manufacturng and inshallah the next few planes will be easier to design and build for Iranian researchers and engineers.

Similar claims were made in case of Iraq. Here is an advice: get real. Daydreaming has become a common habit of majority of muslims unfortunately.

Iraqi army didn't even fight U.S in 2003,and with all these,U.S suffered 5000 casualties from militants and also trillions of dollars.
This is really not a joke.
