What if Iran gets the SU-35 that were scheduled for Egypt refitted with Chinese PL-15?

Will Israel be in trouble?

Iran is run by a fragile and unpopular cleric class that has a surprisingly effective death cult military elite. If the USA had one (1) effective noncompromised diplomat this could gradually cease to be an issue but sadly that is not the case.
Israel alone is in a tight spot. But they can likely demand the US backs any warplan so while hazardous, likely possible

>>61959851
Iran had significantly better KDRs out of their tomcats and phantoms than the USA. You're using a rather broad brush here.

Israel's anti air envelope is a few orders of magnitude greater than Ukraine's

no. even if israel didn't have f35s they would still win with their f15s and f16s. they have better everything: advanced AWACS, better air-to-air missiles, better, ew, better training, etc

basically any iranian plane would get whacked before even getting the chance to see an israeli plane.

range on paper doesn't mean shit (ask the americans in vietnam). it depends on several factors like the ability to see your enemey first before they see you (pic rel will spot iranian planes long before they dream of seeing an israli plane)

also, range doesn't mean shit if you air-to-air missiles have shitty manoeuvrability and tracking/guidance.

ground launch reduces range even further
modern air combat is all about seeing the enemy first, not being seen yourself, and best for that is stealth, great radars (AEW&C) and long-range missiles.

Israel has plenty of stockpile to deal with any short term event, during the early days of the Gaza shit Hamas was launching literally thousands of rockets in a single day and they didn't run out, and it doesn't matter if they need foreign aid from the US to replenish the stockpile since they always get it, even with Brandon slow walking certain supplies the Iron Dome ammo isn't part of it
>>
>>61960023
It seems like hilarious overkill using missiles big enough to shoot down bombers for sasneeds. Seems inevitable that there's gonna be dirt cheap micro-missiles with like a 40mm grenade at most of explosives for dealing with slow moving small drones/missiles before long. Yeah I guess the big ass missiles also have much longer ranges, but if you can afford 20 mini missiles per big missile you could just have a wall of launchers loaded with them.

Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding here, since mini or not they still need the same fancy guidance systems as the big missiles and I assume that's the expensive part, not the fuel or explosives. So if you're gonna pay 75% of the price for 25% the kaboom fuck it just make full size missiles?

They didn't, US, UK and France only helped with the drones, Which are slower and generally much easier target. It was a symbolic statement from the allies against Iran.

No, that was because Biden was still trying to straddle the line between Dearborn, MI mudslimes and the US kike lobby.
Getting some foreign allies to tag in to give the appearance of "multilateralism" in US interventions is a staple of the Obama/Biden administrations as the personnel involved in both are largely the same.

>>61959908
>Iran had significantly better KDRs out of their tomcats and phantoms than the USA. You're using a rather broad brush here.
The F-14 came and went from the U.S. inventory without much action at all. Recall that Iran battled Iraq to a stalemate, ending that conflict with only a slight advantage, and contrast that with Desert Storm. When I talk about doctrine and tactical employment, U.S. airpower is on an entirely different level. Nobody else comes close, not the Euros, not the Russians, not the Chinese. That advantage is eroding as the U.S. fucks around with retention and DEI and China tryhards to catch up, but no, give Iran all the SU-35s in the world and it would still be impossible for them to catch up knowledge-wise.
>>
>>61959967
>The chinese missile has a much higher range.
What's the NEZ on the PL-15? What're it's kinematics at those extended ranges like? Is it for taking out maneuvering/defending jet fighters, or is it like the R-37/R-77 and just another shitty AMRAAM/Phoenix ripoff best suited for long range anti-AWACS/Tanker duties?
>It will only be matched by the upcoming generation of American BVR
Given that it's a chinkoid missile, aside from the fact 90% or more of it is stolen, the stated capabilities are probably exaggerated, in the first place.
So it's actually very likely that the AIM-260 will be a missile version of the MiG-25 fiasco. In other words, the AIM-260 will probably *wildly* outperform the PL-15.
>>61959984
>mutt wishful thinking
Sinoid mongol rape babies are prone delusions of grandeur, we agree.
>You only faced 2nd gen MiG 21s with those F-15/16 and AMRAAM which is a wild disparity
The first AMRAAM kill was from an American F-16 that shot down a MiG-25, or is the Foxbat suddenly warm piss, according to thirdies?

>>61963883
>Recall that Iran battled Iraq to a stalemate, ending that conflict with only a slight advantage
Recall that Iran had undergone a total political and societal breakdown weeks before when they were invaded. The modern equivalent would be the US and China teaming up to help Russia beat Ukraine, supplying them with liberally used chemical weapons, and Russia still losing and suffering a loss of territory. You're biased which is fine, but you can gain some insight from that conflict. It's hard to point to the Iranians failing to meet their military or political objectives post 1980. I don't know why that is, but it is a clear trend.
>>61960275
>Against obsolescent Iraqi aircraft
Ah yes, the famously obsolete TU-22 and MiG-25 against a force of 77 Tomcats that had been so profoundly sabotaged that only 24 were ever considered airworthy at the same time. Read literally one book.

Cope.
Patriot batteries in Iraq and Jordan were operating as well that night. British, Jordanian, French and American planes did the vast majority of the heavy work taking out cruise missiles and drones, with western missile defense systems severely cut the number of ballistic missiles Israel had to deal with.

If by heavy work, you mean slotting behind a low and slow aerial target flying straight and level, waiting for tone, and pressing fire, sure. I don't know how the Israeli AF would have coped.

The Iranians maintained no cadre of skilled pilots and aren't where they were in the 80s, with a western-trained and equipped air force of cutting-edge material. Their military professionalism, to the extent it ever existed (and if the Iran-Iraq War taught us anything, it's that it was only skin-deep) has only degraded further with shitty MENA sandnigger cultural problems like promotions based on religious ideology.
They were also fighting an opponent as incompetent as themselves. Whereas Israelis are world-class pilots with F-35s, let alone their 4th gens. The Iranians wouldn't have a hope in hell.
>>
>>61960267
Su-35 is 4th gen, nothing like the F-35. The number is all they have in common.

not to mention that russian weapons are a sham
>>
>>61960267
Even the Chinese were disappointed with the Su-35 after buying a few dozens for the PLAAF. Ironically the J-16 variant is arguably the most capable Flanker in operation today
>>
>>61960844
Egypt didn't cancel it
America chimped out and threatened sanctions because israel doesn’t want it

>America chimped out and threatened sanctions because israel doesn’t want it
source?
>>
>>61959841
PL-15's are only keyed with Chinese Avionics/Radars so it wouldn't work.

Su-35's have huge radar cross sections so even though the PL-15E has a range of ~125km they'd be detected by F-15/35's far beyond that and avoided.

That being said if it's used as point defence over Iranian potential reactors/nuke sites then it might serve as part of a larger defence umbrella alongside networked/layered AA.

Would be interesting to see if Iranian ships or allied radar sites in Lebanon pick up a strike package if it's F-15E's + F-35's.

Afaik any strike on Iran would be F-15E's and maybe F-35's - I think there was a problem with range.
>>
>>61959841
People need to understand that hyper long range missiles like the R-37 and PL-15 are designed to take out tanker aircraft and AWACS planes, not fighter aircraft. Yes the R-37 on a NIG-31 has kept the ukrainian airforce flying low but they haven’t actually damaged any planes I’m aware of (and I’m willing to be wrong).
It doesn’t mean a thing to have a 200km+ range missile that maneuvers like shit going up against a 5th gen fighter that you can’t even detect until you’re well within AMRAAM range.
It also doesn’t mean shit against NATO 4th and 4.5 gen planes who have advanced warning receivers and can out maneuver the incoming missile and shoot back.

So no, Israel won’t be in trouble
