Ok now I know you really are a troll!
Sorry, but that is not a very credible criticism against US. You can say the same for the USSR and China. But of course, we know you would not. The intellectual inconsistency is ignored.
I know I did.
I was. But I guess you were not.
Very few US bases overseas are US designed and built. So we have to make do with what we are given by our hosts. The fact that you do not know that pretty much rendered the rest of your post meaningless.
Considering the posts I read from the Iranians members here, that would be your names.Just out of curiosity your name wouldnt be Mitty,first name Walter,by any chance would it?
if you remember I once asked u what if iran hits all of your runways in region?? And you said it's like we say iran has death star and loled. so after this event that demonstrated iran can hit them, what US can do??
Assume that Iran can do that -- literally hit every US base in the region.
Well thats rather odd to hear "captain" mitty...er I mean gambit,as by the time the cold war had ended the us had built approximately 1000 shelters in europe and across the pacific,many of which are still in service today.In fact according to a 2015 rand study there are over 700 shelters still in use in 70 countries with some form of hardening.
I guess you must have missed the capitalized "NOT" part in [] brackets at the end of that sentence.I knew I should have had it in bold
,oh well conveying sarcasm appropriately can often be difficult online.No,I was referencing the prior comment above this line where I had jokingly claimed that you had "destroyed all of my points[NOT]" [bold added for emphasis]
Even existing bases that would`ve been leased to the us or acquired thru treaties or defense agreements would`ve been completely modified and rebuilt over time to suit the needs of new generations of aircraft and weapons especially during the cold war and the transition to jet power and the beginning of the nuclear battlefield.To suggest that these would still be effectively 1930s-40s era grass strip fields built to suit piston powered prop planes is absurd
The reason I was mentioning it is that over the years in my time spent traveling around the various parts of the net I`ve come across the occasional real life walter mitty type character,I tend to think of them as Walts.These walts often tend to hang out at foreign,tho english speaking,military forums like this one pretending to be either former members of another nations military or otherwise involved in some aspect of it....
Mr. Mitty, the problem with people like you is that you are too full of yourself, especially when you encounters information that on the surface seems to support your preconceived notions.
Thats rather ironic as that was exactly my opinion about you,especially when you seemed to insist that any future us iran conflicts would basically be just an operation desert storm 2.0

The difference is that my opinion is experience based. You have nothing but your own ignorance and video games.
Whether you believe my background or not is irrelevant. For the forum's old timers here, I have debunked myths about 'stealth', radar detection, airpower, US military, and military life in general. I have explained things about flying in general, avionics in particular, and the US Air Force in perspectives not available on the Internet. I have exposed frauds who claimed experience in aviation. You are a nobody.
Sure you can. Go ahead and try it.
Yeah...But you suck up to the Iranians. Pretty good job, too, I might say.I hate to break it to you,but I`m not iranian nor even a muslim,in fact as I`ve often repeated to people like yourself on more than one occasion,I`m about as iranian as a pavlova[thats the VERY tasty non-iranian dessert by the way,Not the russian dancer
There is still no explanation here as to how an indigenous weapon is superior to an imported one. Sanctions crippled some of those imported weapons? True. But that still does not explain how an indigenous version is technically superior. Iran's F-14s are essentially indigenous, correct? After all these yrs, Iran have been able to keep them flying despite lack of foreign parts. So what make you think those F-14s can handle our F-15s? The answer is: Cannot.
Also, the aircraft carriers were out at sea! Had Japan hit those carriers, the pearl harbour gamble may have paid off. They wouldn't really have needed an immediate follow up plan because island hopping would have gone ahead without the threat of US aircraft carriers.
