how came america doesnt have air superiority over iranian airspace half a year into the war? shouldnt the f22 and f35 be like invisible and bomb the iranian army everywhere all the time? russia and soviet union strategy was muh tanks and but sharts and nato was muh planes! why does pentagon have a trillion dollar budget then?
It's not a real war. We're just trying to keep Bibi out of court.
>>540177489>into the warwhen was the ground invasion?
>>540177489Part of it was US aircraft being shot down if I recall correctly.
>>540177489We've reached a point where a war cannot be won if the defending country has help from other most powerful ones. Every war ends up as a war of attrition
>>540177489We do, retard. Our jets fly over Iran and Iran cannot stop it. Iranian fighters do not challenge US aircraft. US strikes have knocked out most of Iran’s air defenses. Iran can still fire missiles and drones but it cannot deny the US control of the skies.
>>540177489We do have air superiority. Are you retarded?We have b-52s casually circling the skies of iran every day and they cant do shit about it.All they have are cheap ass short to mid range truck mounted drone launch platforms that they keep digging out of hidden caches whenever the bombing stops.We arent bombing the iranian army soldiers because there's no point in doing so.They cant invade anywhere so their army is pointless.Better to keep it around as a drain on resources.The only things they have that we care about are their missile forces and and the remaining armed patrol boats they call a navy.Their conventional air and sea assets are gone.For them to use their army they would need to either try an amphibious invasion across the gulf, which would be a total disaster, or they would need to invade Iraq which would be a disaster.So why would we target their army?
>>540177785Iran doesnt even have aircraft left to shoot down.We lost a couple craft that were doing low-flying missions and got hit by manpads. They have no sam sites left and they have no air superiority fighters left. We can bomb whatever we want whenever we want with impunity.Thats air superiority.
>>540177963This lmao. They’re flying non stealth B-52 bombers over Iran which is something militaries only do when they believe enemy air defenses can’t do shit.
>>540177822Most war has been gay proxy-war bullshit since the end of WW2.>Korea>Vietnam>Middle East>UkraineIt's always geopolitical bullshit doing this 4D chess stuff where two sides are being propped up by the real adversaries. Vietnam saw Soviet and American pilots shooting one another down while both nations weren't officially at war, it's all so fucking stupid.
>>540178054Hell yeah, MAGA brother. Trump’s girthy, veiny nine-incher is currently THROBBING inside the Mullahs’ collective neghole… when MAGA shoots a poz load, you better believe you’re popping poz. Israel WILL be defend and Iran WILL surrender. A deal is imminent as we speak, and the American economy is ROBUST. This is why ordinary Americans now say things like “gee, this really is a golden age.”
>>540177904And they only way they can still fire the missiles and drones they have is because their launchers are either buried in bunkers or disguised as civillian vehicles. They are overwhelmingly cheap unguided weapons that make news headlines but cant really do significant damage.This is why you get dioshits in /pig/ sperging out every other day that all US bases in the middle east have been obliterated for the 36th time because a shahed made it through the missile shield and hit an empty field.Iran does it solely for propaganda purposes.They're situation is pretty fucking grim, but they know that because america is a democracy we are weak to propaganda and public perception so as long as they can generate the appearance of strength they can count on pre-existing political divides in america and our general dislike of foreign wars to bring the democrats into power who they know will unilaterally pull out of the fighting and give iran what they want.The reason they are being such pricks about the strait is because their nuclear program is already fucked.If they end this war in a clear loss, then it completely undermines their legitimacy as a regime and destroys their ability to govern.So they have to assert control over the strait and they jave to secure a peace deal that gives them Control of the strait so they can come back to their people and say they "won" the war despite massive losses because they ended up in a better position than they started it.
>>540178123Most wars throughout history have been proxy wars.
The B-52's are not flying over Iran, they're used as missile trucks for long-range munitions
>why does pentagon have a trillion dollar budget then?Gotta make some FUCKING MONEY goy
>>540178123>Vietnam saw Soviet and American pilots shooting one another downIt was mostly chinese pilots, Korea is the one that had tons of soviet pilots
Everytime a jet flies around we are automatically losing
>>540177963>wei banish you
>>540177489Iran is a vast country.It's no cheap to send fighter jets and tankers above Iran 24/7 and Iran has decentralized/asymmetrical air defense system.By now over 50 American drones and 8 jets have been shot down
>>540178533If their weapons were so weak then the US wouldn’t have wasted hundreds of billions on intercepting them and would just let them land in empty fields, like the old days when all that groups like hamas could shoot off was katyushas. They’re doing a much better job of long range precision strikes against US military infrastructure and allied economic infrastructure than just about any enemy the US has ever faced, possibly even including ww2. The Germans and japs never threatened to tank the US economy with a fucking blockade lmao. The last time the country was in this much economic trouble from direct enemy action was probably the war of 1812.
we have air superiority. we don't have air supremacy since iran can just shoot down planes using GTA AA. so iran doesn't need an airforce, america just needs to keep feeding planes to iran
