you think in a war all strikes are 100% precise and accurate? this just shows that Israel intends to destroy everything in Iran, including older equipment that could be recommissioned in the future
This war is about to escalate further, Israel is about to start targeting Iranian oil and gas infrastructure, and further degrading Iranian military capability, once that is done, nothing can protect Armenia any further.
These Iranians knew the strikes were coming, but still let the political and military and scientific elite live in regular apartments instead of moving them in bunkers or other secure facilties.
What an incompetent country
To attack Iran would require a sustained air campaign, bunker busters generally don't have long range, so you can't really launch them far away from Air Defense systems, so it would require DEAD campaign first and then destruction of underground facilities. Israel doesn't have such capability...
I don't know but $4.6 billion for 40 JF-17 Block 3s sounds too much, $4.6 bil for 64 sounds more plausible
It also doesn't mention that order was simply increased from 16 to 40, it says just a new contract for 40 aircraft, the previous deal for $1.6 bil was signed last year.
Yeah, that was the thought process, it probably has very massive AESA radars to identify AWACS and Refueling aircraft at ranges of 400 to 500 kms, pretty much a mini-AWACS itself.
I believe the 40 is the additional number on top of the current 24 on order, so total of 64 for $4.2 billion sounds more plausible than $4.2 billion for just 40, that would be more than $100 million per airframe. Although nothing is confirmed outside of the initial 24 currently on order.
