"Today, the Iranian army is equipped with highly sophisticated military equipment, which it does not deem necessary to display before the eyes of insiders or outsiders,”

Oh no! They found one of the Annanaki war ships in a deep underground tunnel!

What I DO know for sure is, these Iranians couldn't fly airplanes to save their collective rear ends.

Heh. I am an instructor in Florida and I would say that your observation is totally correct.
My fellow instructors and I have discussed why this is so, (Arabs in general being terrible student pilots) but irrespective of the reasons, you are right.

Still, the Iranian Air Force managed to clean Iraq's clock, sweep the skies, and gain air superiority over Iraq, all with very limited equipment and parts.

Iran had bulletproof carpets. Iraq didn’t.

Good. Now another step - the only men they have ever been brave in front of, were bound unarmed prisoners in locked rooms.

Yep. That platform will be the tougher nut to crack.
Probably stealth flights down low to dash in and take them out while holding a large force just out of combat range to keep them occupied.

My 2c.
