Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

what was that last bomber?it was gorgeous

Tupolov -- T 160 bomber. NATO code name ... Black jack , Russians call it the White Swan. Largest combat plane still operating. A variable sweep wing. It can sweep the wings back and attain cloce to Mach 2 speed for long duration. It has an incredible range without refueling , and carries a huge amount of ordinance.
That puppy can get there fast and then sweep the wings forward , spread out far and dump hell onto the fanatics it is pursuing now.
Ya , a gorgeous plane.

Do the Iranians have F-15s.

I though they had only upgraded Phantoms.

.

No my bad. I meant to say F-14s. Armnuke is right.
Iran is the only country that still operates F-14s......jealous is the world to see Iran flys such loved and badazz war bird.
Most of Irans officers were trained in US and they ended up in Iraq Iran war when they destroyed Iraqi Fighters and airforce.
now they teach the next generation.

Im guessing you meant to say F-14's instead of F-15's and Iran does not operate fighter jets in syria. Russian provides aircover for their bombers with their own aircraft. Where did you read that Iran is providing combat air patrols for Russian bombers. Source?

Their route of flight is deep inside Iran then into Iraq......Iran Airforce gives them escort during this time.

When the sha of Iran got the boot and USA/Iran relations went in the dumps , USA stopped all spare parts deliveries to Iran for the f14 (Tom cat).
When the USA retired the f14 which I personally think was a mistake , because of their hatred for Iran , they actually shredded all the f14s in their inventory so Iran could not get access to any spare parts.
I actually really liked those planes.
They shredded all of them !!!! Unfknblvble. Idiots.

A military aircraft remains on the roster even if it was operated by civilian facility.
Everytime they beer can an aircraft now they can add new ones to the roster.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Just to add:

Iran had many F-14a but most are parts aircraft. you need a part then you take it of the none flyer. You can also make parts. Tires are a problem if they can't get the sizes. I know Iran flies at leasr 10 F-14s fully loaded with long range phoenix missiles. side winders, machine gun, etc.
Not every pilot gets to fly the F-14.
One he must be on top of his class and recommended by commanders.
Second it cannot absolutly be a person who would defect with the F-14 to another country.
