Elsewhere, he highlighted the Defense Ministry’s success in unveiling the country’s first homegrown fighter jet in August, and said the military plane has passed all tests and would be mass-produced if the project is financed.
Good to know that Bagheri is fully aware that the high cost of airpower requires asymmetric "Iranian" approaches to make sense for a country with Irans military budget.

Read his absolutely incorrect analysis!
It's totally unfortunate that our supreme leader has people like that around him!
For a high ranking Iranian Military official to come and make an utterly absurd analysis is not only SAD but a threat to Iran!
He say's the U.S. used a lot of bombs to get Sadam's military to surrender in 1990 but in 2003 the U.S. used far less aircraft. And the 2006 Israeli war against Lebanon is somehow proof that Fighter jets are practically useless today!

He sounds like he has been living under a rock for the past 2 decades!!!!!!!! And if that's the type of analysis being given to Iran's supreme leader then we are in BIG Trouble!
1st U.S. didn't need to use a lot of Bombers and Fighter in 2003 because they had been bombing Iraq going on for a decade between 1992-2003 with sorties flown 3-4 times a weak for over a decade using fighter jets mostly so by 2003 Iraq had almost No SAM's outside of Bagdad, No Airforce, No Navy, No Missile Force and just a bunch of Tanks, APC/IFV, Artillery & troops and to take most of them out U.S. mostly used Air launched Sensor fuzzed weapons, Cluster Warheads, Helo's & special forces on the ground with ATGM's.
And to use 2006 as an example is just flat out crazy for a whole list of reasons!
And yes Iran most definitely needs to build it's own Air Power but how far do you think we would go with that absurd mentality??
Yes Iran could make up for a large portion of Air power requirements with mass production of Missiles, UAV's & UCAV's but those equipment by themselves simply cannot make up for all of Iran's requirements
Also Iran's defense industry needs to be used as a tool not only for weapons but to advanced Iran's technological capabilities and the production of more advanced Iranian products. And when it comes to the Air Force if Iran produces a viable Fighter jet and bombers then clearly we will be able to produce Civilian Passenger Aircrafts of any kind, better communication systems, better computers & electronics,...
And when one of the top Iranian Military officials comes out and say's such things do you think Iranian kids and students get motivated to build better Jet engines or dream about designing fighters...… Clearly they do NOT!
Good thing about PDF is that smart ar§e military strategists directly stare into your eyes and say Israel won 2006 war!https://www.tasnimnews.com/fa/news/...-باید-بومی-باشد-و-از-تحریم-نظامی-تاثیر-نپذیرد

I stick with Iranian military decision makers.
They have done a good job up until now.
I agree that classical airpower is overrated.
As said, its good that Iran did not fall for this trap in the past.
Airpower is absolutely not overrated. But it's expensive!
Controlling the skies is essential and Russia in Syria has proved this. Without Russian airpower, the map of Syria would be very different right now.
Last time i checked the Saudis and their coalition have absolute air dominance over Yemen's skies. How come their air supremacy not translate to the ground?
Because airpower can neither take land nor hold it,and despite the claims of all the military theorists who were enamored with the idea of airpower alone winning wars,this has still not yet come to pass.Like everything else on the battlefield airpower has it uses but it is very,very expensive from both a logistics and infrastructure perspective,not to mention the cost of the aircraft itself and the cost of the hundreds of hours of training needed just to become basically proficient with the operation of the aircraft for the pilots.Last time i checked the Saudis and their coalition have absolute air dominance over Yemen's skies.

Partially it does, by imposing and constructing famine on the people of Yemen.Last time i checked the Saudis and their coalition have absolute air dominance over Yemen's skies. How come their air supremacy not translate to the ground?
Bagheri is a moron, many of the TOP IRGC are only in place because of nepotism. They were part of the Iran-Iraq war and The revolution.
The old guard needs to retire and leave.
Apparently Bagheri forgets that without Russian Air Power intervening at the request of Solemani/Putin, Syria would be Jihadistan.
The NDF/Syrian Arab army was on brink of collapse after the fall of Idlib.
Iran was hemmoragging losses fighting town by town. At the same time, Iraqi militia had to leave Syria to defend iraq from the ISIS wave leaving a huge hole in capable manpower! NDF and SAA were incompetent!
Even Hezbollah Special forces and Iran Army’s Nohed couldn’t beat the terrorist on the ground around Aleppo without massive air support.
People here don’t know this, but in early years of Syrian war, some IRGC generals believed that the Iran could not win the Syrian war through violence and had to negotiate with US/Arab states!
Just goes to show you how fractured the IRGC is.
