IRGC just announced shooting down third Israeli F-16 over Central Iran. Lack of CENTCOM confirmation, though.https://www.bbc.com/arabic/media-49522519

>>531277020That would be cool if it were true.
>>531277020>splash one jew
>>531277020Pic related is not an F-16. They shot it down in their own country near their largest city yet they have no images of it either falling or on the ground.
>>531277284who even cares about a single f-16? that an f-16 could even be operating over iran at all proves iran has no effective air defenses left. sure, every now and then, a random manoad with an ir seeker can get a lucky shot off. one plane out of ten thousand sorties will not make any difference (0.01%). more will be lost to bird strikes, and even maybe this one.
>>531277020That pilot is going to be in for a less than optimal weekends entertainments.
>>531277020I don't think CENTCOM is gonna confirm.Even if the family is saying that their son is missing.
>>531277020Pretty sure Iran is consistently fake and gay
>>531277020>its fake>it’s one f16>its still overMeanwhile, a hostile nation controls the only main exit for GCC maritime exports. The same GCC nations that support the petrodollar. The Overton window for currency choice in terms of transnational transactions is shifting.
>>531277486>ten thousand sortiesIAF has around 200 F-16 and is second biggest operator in the world after USAF.
>>531277020Not that you should ever take the work of a Middle Easterner but I'm noticing a very wuss core trend in Western media where they are genuinely terrified to admit that during a war you don't always win a fight. Like what the fuck did you think was going on? Drinking tea and eating crumpets? Then when somebody or a bunch of somebodies get killed you get all trembly and nervous like that wasn't in the script and you didn't memorize any lines for the next act.
>>531277735there have been 10k sorties since the start of the war. weve had 3 f-15 losses to friendly fire, an f-35 took a hit and rtb, a tanker had a midair collision and was lost, and now one f-16. literally more dangerous to fly training hours at this point.
>>531278346F-16s are easily detectable by Irans surviving radars (low-frequency, passive), layered SAMs like Bavar-373, and infrared/EO-guided systems that bypass radar jamming. Deep penetration risks pop-up ambushes despite degraded defenses. Nobody really knows how much stuff Iran has and how much it will get in "humanitarian transports".
>>531278932it doesnt matter. SEAD works, air dominance acheived, once they shoot, they get clapped. US uses space based IR observation constellation for missile flares. the only way they can shoot is once and ospreys will have plenty of top cover.
>>531279159>SEAD worksYou need plenty of standoff long range munitions for SEAD that are seriously depleted.
>>531277020May I see it?
>>531277020Doubt.
>>531279384only at first. we are flying f-16s! because SEAD has moved on to DEAD. even A-10s are brrrrrting. all the iranians bave left is mud borne rockets. maybe the stinger could stop soviet helicopters in afghanistan, but what is left is worse than stingers and what we fly is much better than hinds.
>>531279507Lets wait. It is a very fresh news.
>>531279582It is risky
>>531277486you keep blustering about this world-class air force that is unstoppable; yet Iran isn't surrendering. All of your power doesn't matter if you can't actually defeat anyone
>>531279652ask imperial japan how it goes. this isnt bluster, it is objective fact. 10k sorties against 6(?) airframe losses. and more than half was friendly fucking with US weapons, not iranian.
>>531279758>ask imperial japan how it goesimperial japan would've massacred 100k+ of your zogbots if they hadn't surrenderedthey only surrendered because they were scared of the soviets raping their way through japan
>>531279831they surrendered because 270k died in an instant
>>531279831and the 2 nukes. lets not forget that.
>>531279831"If Japan didn't surrender.."Nobody cares about your hypothetical revisionist bullshit anymore. They surrendered because we fucking obliterated them and we will do it again to any country on the planet if we need to.
>>531277020>F-16f-16 is like a mazda miata of fighter jet world.
>>531280113> we fucking oblierated them> we will do it> if we need tonever cease to amaze me the weak man that needs to feel strong acting as part of a team that he is not in any way actually part of
>>531277020>dying gasps of a defeated regimenobody claimed it would be easy, but this is the mopping up operations stage.
>>531281165>dying gasps of a defeated regimeThe US of A is not dying yet xD
>>531279582>>531279159Look at this retard.
>>531281302cant attack the message, attack the messenger
america will just gift them another one
>>531279582A-10s over Iran proper? May i see them?
/k/ope is gonna be on suicide watch soon lolhow long until Iran nails a B-1 Lancer?
>>531279649Didnt Afghanistan fly a super tucano over the entirety of Pakistan for a symbolic airstrike? By his logic that would mean Afghanistan established air supremacy over Pakistan…..while Pakistan was flying over Afghanistan. Meaning they both established air supremacy over the other????!
>>531281824>US Air Force A-10 Warthogs are now chasing down Iranian fast-attack boats in the Strait of Hormuz, the top US general said Thursday.>At a Thursday press briefing, Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, discussed operational updates as the conflict stretches into its third week, revealing that A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft are "now in the fight.">He said that these aircraft are "hunting and killing fast-attack boats in the Straits of Hormuz." Caine added that US forces are flying further into eastern Iranian airspace, targeting Iran's one-way attack drone hubs.https://www.businessinsider.com/a10-warthogs-hunting-iranian-fast-attack-boats-top-us-general-2026-3
Israelisisters…
>>531281892When the USA runs out of standoff munitions theyll have to resort to direct overflights with gravity bombs. They'll probably only lose one bomber before realizing the lunacy, but until they take those losses they just keep banging the jingoistic propaganda. See the shills here for proof they think we can loiter unstealthy planes over Iran without them being shot down.
>>531282079So NOT over Iran. Not even close. Cool, A-10s operating outside of Irans IADS mean Irans IADS is destroyed…..that is just retarded.
>>531280113>we will do it again >we>mutt imbecile and his overblown ego on full displaythere's no 'we' you fucking retard, you're irrelevant nobody posturing on the internet while your jewish owners do what they want
>>531277020They only said they hit it, they didn't say they downed it
>>531279507If they used a radar guided system, then it's unlikely that there is any footage
>>531278346We have no idea what level of risk those planes are taking on average, how often they enter heavily defended airspace versus lightly defended airspace, how often they operate in escorted large strike packages versus small groups, how often they use stand-off munitions, etc
>>531279159No that's not how it works
>>531278017This is your first major fuck up since the bay of pigs. Vietnam was a gift from the French so we will ignore that.
>>531286339yes, it is how it works.
>>531277020>Israeli F-16>CENTCOM confirmationI'm not sure this applies to assets from Isra-
>>531288999Lmao, as it stands the US/Israeli aircraft are the ones being shot. We cannot maintain this loss rate especially as our new production F-35s dont have radars….
>>531284761i think they will lose like 10ish before giving up
>>531278017because this war doesn't benefit us in any way, nobody wants to send our soldiers to death and waste 100s of billions of dollars for something that is of NO benefit to anyone but jews in israelim sorry, that's the reality of the situation, most people would rather bomb israel than iran at this point desu
>>531277196Heh
>>531277486not a single f-16 has ever been lost to enemy fire until now
>>531279582>muh A-10sYou post like a junior enlisted zogbot, so full of jingoistic midwit hubris. The AF pulled the A-10s out of front-line duty during the Gulf War because they were losing so many of them to the Iraqis' ancient Soviet-made weapons.
