“These objects do not bear specific defense and military capabilities, rather they are meant to leave psychological impacts on Iran.”

someone explain this to me. is he saying the new fighters are primarily designed to be used against iran own people???

India? Well, if the same people are building these fighters that tried for a month recently to solve a software problem I was having, after the vendor outsourced support to there, then I have no worry about Iran’s chances of being able to make them work.

Iran is building fighter planes? LOL! Lots of Navy and Air Force aces will be minted in the coming battle-—if the Israelis don’t get them first.

I suggest a fly-over of one of the infidels carriers.That will be a good test of jihadi crew and flying machine.

I sure hope we are doing SOMETHING about their IEDs in Iraq - but I don’t hear of any significant retaliation.
