IRIAF | News and Discussions

[Bahram Esfandiari]

There no such protocol as there is a air space corridor agreement. Russians have been flying both military aircraft like TU-22M, SU-35 and transports across Iran quite regularly as well as their Kalibr missiles have overflown Iranian airspace to strike terrorist targets in Syria.

Iran has allowed Russian planes to use its airspace during recent operations in Syria, since 2016.

Russian aircraft for the first time used an Iranian air base in 2016 to conduct strikes in Syria. The Russian military said its fighters had completed their tasks, but left open the possibility of using the Hamadan base again if circumstances warranted.

Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, had back then told the semi-official news agency Fars: “Their (Russians’) use of Iran’s air space has continued because we have a fully strategic cooperation with Russia.”

“In the recent cases, Russian fighter planes have only used Iran’s airspace and have not had refueling operations,” Shamkhani added.

IRIAF f-4Es and F-14As were photographed and filmed escorting these Russian flights over Iranian airspace. They were never allowed to fly over Iranian airspace without escorts.

In the past yes, but those photos might have been from before the recent agreements of the past few years allowing Russia access certain air corridors. I remember pics of tomcats armed with sejjils and phoenixes escorting RUAF though Iran but those pics are quite old by now.
Also, these recent flights might very well have had an escort from the IRIAF but the planes just weren't in the frame of the pics taken.

I'm not aware of such agreement and if there is it's unconstitutional . And if you recall when then photos of Russian aircraft become public they had to stop using Iran base and airspace and parliament made such an uproar and wanted to give a vote of no confidence to the government.

You think Khamenai and IRGC didn’t know Russia was using that base? You think the anti war and anti expansionist Rouhani made that decision?

Need to get your head checked...

 

[sha ah]

Well they have hmiemin airbase now so realistically why would they even need to use Iranian airspace ?

Anyways I don't see anything wrong with it unless they're freely allowed to go anywhere without limitations.

There are however limitations. Iran radar keeps track of them and they have to travel in a pre-determined path.

Azerbaijan's military planes also used to be able to fly over Iranian airspace to reach the enclave of Nakhchivan until recently

It's not unconstitutional to grant overflight and airbase usage rights (as guests) on an ad hoc (= case by case) basis. Permanent contractual authorizations are a wholly different matter. Hence why I very much doubt Iran conceded such a continuous right to any country, Russia included.

not important , there is a reason that there is a parliament and public news outlet , when it become public , they could not do anything. that's why Iran still is a republic ,and here the constitution barred it

according to article 77 of our constitution any sort of agreement with foreign countries must passed through parliament and I'm sure parliament yet to pass such agreement with Russia

I insert it here as it specifies some aircraft models that Iran has been interested in, but they are statements that refer to weapon systems for all Iranian armed forces.

"Rosoboronexport" talked about military-technical cooperation with Iran

and what use would it be to modernize its only 6 SU-25UBKs (the former Iraqi ones were returned a few years ago), unless it is a typo and the author of the article wanted to point to the SU-24

Iran is a pseudo Republic. As long as Khamenai exists and SL position exists, Iran will never be a true republic.

Btw even Rome had a Senate when they had a Emperor.

not important look at how many country around the world have both parliament and king and queen and emperor and empress

The issue is that the supreme leader decides the foreign policy, therefore Iran is more of a theocracy rather than an authentic Republic or democracy. There are very few democracies in the world. The US is more of an oligarchy then democracy.

wrong, Most of the so called King and Queens are stripped of any mean full power in today’s Western society. They are ceremonial. Only Arabs still have kings with any power and that is just another name for dictatorship.

So Khamenai still drives the drives the ship in the republic. His picture is inside every business and government building in Iran.
