[quote:Anonymous Coward 1546575:MV8xODUwNzI5XzMwODU1MzM1XzRCMTg5N0JB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 13618225:MV8xODUwNzI5XzMwODUzNjI5Xzc4MTU3N0U3] There will be no air to air combat, Iran will use its AA missile tech to down enemy planes and missiles. [/quote] But the stealth fighters will simply fly near Irans borders out and launch stealth cruise missiles.. So unless Iran dont mind getting hit by those,, they will have to put their planes up and try to defend.. Muhahahahah [/quote]
Original Message
The U.S. Air Force is quietly assembling the world’s most powerful air-to-air fighting team at bases near Iran.
Stealthy F-22 Raptors on their first front-line deployment have joined a potent mix of active-duty and Air National Guard F-15 Eagles, including some fitted with the latest advanced radars. The Raptor-Eagle team has been honing special tactics for clearing the air of Iranian fighters in the event of war.
It’s been years since the Air Force has maintained a significant dogfighting presence in the Middle East.
During the 2003 invasion of Iraq Boeing-made F-15Cs flew air patrols from Saudi Arabia, but the Iraqi air force put up no resistance and the Eagle squadrons soon departed. For the next nine years Air Force deployments to the Middle East were handled by ground-attack planes such as A-10s, F-16s and twin-seat F-15E Strike Eagles.
