I have spent my military service in Artesh sir. They have no role in protecting the borders. It is mostly upto police force (نیروی انتظامی( and IRGC. IRGC is most active in those hot spots as you mentioned above. When we were in Baluchestan, an IRGC military bus was attacked right in front of our military base in Khash. I was serving as an artillery specialist. After massacring our brothers in IRGC, they announced high alert in our base, I can still Remember those sleepless nights.

IRGC is protecting the country with her sweat and blood. Without them we had to fight against JuA inside Baluchestan. Its true that i was an Artesh soldier and i am loyal to my Unit but where is my Honor? IRGC is the only reason that Iran is the same Iran with same borders of pre Revolution times.

I was in Baluchistan but in police force at least at those time the border was responsibility of police force (it was at the time of Rigi Career) maybe now a days it have changed

The routine Education, training and maintenance.



When the country is invaded, attacked or is prepared for an offensive.

Artesh is always ready for heavy fighting. They have tens of non reported exercises all over the country. They receive orders from Supreme leader and he orders them based on their readiness.

At the moment they have nothing to do with the bordering areas unless the leader defines new missions for Artesh.

well they have responsibility in our south and northern borders.

Yes.

The coast lines are shared between two navies.

It seems that some American sources even saw in Q4 Iranian Kowsar fighters that Iran claims to have optimized in three areas: avionics and electronic warfare, network warfare, and stand-off armaments. What exactly does this mean? This means that the Iran-made F-5s arriving in Syria could fight in synchrony with the drones against the US / Israel axis.

Some sources claim to have seen the Iranian-made hunter Kowsar there. These unofficial sources even indicate that this hunter would be able to conduct network combat and synchronize with drones. We do not know more, but we do know that before Kowsar, Iranian Sukhoi-22 planes that Syria owns many copies were able to receive and send data interconnected with drones. It is wonderful for launching joint raids, identifying the situation on the battlefield in a much larger area, like the deserts of eastern Syria and of course for monitoring threats and if necessary sacrificing the flat. - unmanned shape and keep the piloted bird intact. At the same time, this hunter-drone pair could share the so-called "dig and kill" function in terms of identifying and targeting, transporting and launching ammunition, one covering the weakness of the other. It is also said that it is Kaman 22, the Iranian Predator Q who would be assigned to the task of synchronizing with Kowsar.

Hypothetical question, would Iran have been better off it also purchased the F-15A alongside the F-14 during the 70s

Not really..
Someone else asked a similar question here a few years back,ie would iran have been better off if it had chosen the f-15?,the person who responded noted that had that been the case that iran would`ve only had the earliest f15a/b models armed with sparrows and sidewinders.
The problem here is basically twofold,the lack of new aircraft,AND just as importantly imho,the failures/inability of the iriaf to upgrade its existing ones.

well , we g=could get more range on the airplane but would have lost on the every other metric , don't forget we are not talking about latest model of F-15 but the first generation.
on other hand if we get f-15 we probably instead of building spare for the airplane we would have used smuggled part from black market. (and that probably resulted in espionage and receiving faulty part as it happened with our nuclear program).
I believe the original plan of combination of F-14 + F-16 was the correct solution for our airforce

 

[SalarHaqq]

the original plan of combination of F-14 + F-16

+ F-18.

 

[Hack-Hook]

+ F-18.

I don't like F-18 to me it designed to be next generation F-5 and if some dumb politician didn't lobbied for it and made operating f-14 nearly impossible for USA navy , they would never have opted for it.

by the way Iran financed YF-17 not F-18 , and they developed it into F-18 years after Iran Involvement it was supposed to be a light fighter jet not develop into a big plane as big as F-15 , it was not supposed to become jack of all trades and master of none
look at the design its just a glorified F-5 air-frame

at the end it lost to the guy beside him

and some clueless politician bribed by northrop made usa navy to use it to replace its F-4 and A-7

Our airforce chose the F15 at the time, but Grumman bribed our officials and so we bought F14.

Most of Iran's F14 were grounded during Iran-Iraq war (and still are), so Iran had use it's F4 and F5(along sidewinders) against Iraq MIG25!

That's seems far fetched, the Tomcat fleet did suffer during the conflict with Iraq, but the airforce still managed to keep some Tomcats airworthy.

Yes, some were airworthy cause they didn't use them!

For example, our F5 pilot who managed to hunt one MIG25 described the situation where Iraqi MIG25s were taking regular trip and path deep inside Iran. our airforce decided to intercept it on it's return (after finishing it's mission!), and their solution was one F5 with two sidewinder missiles, now the interesting part is that this F5 actually managed to do the impossible, cause Iraqi pilot was so confident about open skies of Iran! that he didn't even fly at the safe altitude, so Iranian F5 managed to catch the MIG25, but both of its sidewinder missiles failed! so the pilots used it's cannon to shoot it down.

wrong

Iran at first attempted to keep some 60 Tomcats in operational condition, but intensive flying and lack of qualified maintenance personnel—not the lack of spare parts, as is commonly believed—forced it to scale back the number of operational F-14s to 40 by 1984, and to 25 by 1986.t

How Iranian air crews, cut off from U.S. technical support, used the F-14 against Iraqi attackers.

www.airspacemag.com

Both Iran and Iraq tried to avoid losing aircrafts because they had no true allies to replenish them with new fighter jets. Thus their most prized fighters played defense. Iran’s F-14 usually were playing defense and protecting vital infrastructure.
