What's up, fellas. A little bummed out there hasn't been any news on the Su-35s or even 30s so far. Really hoping the IRIAF can strengthen its air force with these jets, especially with all that's going been happening lately.
Speaking of that, I mentioned on the Gaza Conflict thread how I thought it would certainly help Iran better defend itself (in case it was attacked) if it had at least those 25 Su-35s that were rumored to come during these tense and unpredictable times and especially moving forward. I was a bit surprised when another member said it wouldn't help AT ALL against F-22s & F-35s and the usual mumbo jumbo jive. I replied and said of course it would help. Any improvement is better than no improvement at all, that's like a no-brainer but they insisted that it would do absolutely nothing against those two particular aircraft.
It made me think how programmed some of these fellas are that they couldn't even perceive another military possibly having the ability to plan and acquire the necessary platforms to defend against even the best of the best in stealth and general military technology. How BVR is not a 100% bulletproof tactic and that it's much more difficult to attack than to defend and so on.
With L-band OTH radars and a solid, layered AD network and pre-programmed ELINT records & AWACS and a centralized ground control HQ that relegates comms and directives to well-positioned SAM batteries AND in conjunction with a couple of squadrons of Su-35s with R-37s along with the F-14s and their Iranian-built Pheonix counterparts could very well make even the USAF & USN & USMC's life difficult and certainly not make it as easy as these fellas think. I was quite surprised that the Russian & Iranian tech as well as Iranian tactical capabilities were so quickly dismissed as completely ineffective against just those two aircraft. But I was particularly surprised by their complete dismissive perception of the Su-35S' capabilities.
So just a quick question for those who know of any known/public data, what types of radars and AD assets (I know of the S-300VM which is excellent in this case but unfortunately also gets immediately dismissed as ineffective) does Iran have set up for defending against a possible US and/or zionist attack? I seem to remember that along with Egypt and Algeria, Iran also acquired either the Protivnik-GE and/or the Resonance- NE radar complexes which are designed to detect stealth aircraft ranges from 400km up to 1000km. Is that right? Does it have any of the Chinese OTH/long range L-band radars and what is the general network set up with the IRIAF?
