they may have some F14s(?) left too... if they are hidden well enough.
edit Greece and Turkey are still flying F4s too

I must admit every time I've seen an F4 phantom it's been really cool - one of the planes I remember. Last time was at the Pensacola Naval Air Museum a couple years ago

Forgive the doubt. When you say things like "downtown Iran" I can understand why some doubt it

Spoken like a dipstick who's never been to east end China.

ok the irg gets a pass

Question:

Has anyone considered what percentage of the population actually favored the regime? Easy for us to say small but I doubt that's the case. These people have been brainwashed. This shat ain't anywhere near over or clean

agree not being over or clean but skeptical there was anything approaching widespread support for the regime - particularly after they murdered 30K citizens for protesting

it's funny how he slips up and tries to correct when he says they were just following orders they got beforehand.

Widespread? Agreed. But 20-30% with the regime controlling all money and military?

I had a good friend while I was in the Navy that flew the F4. He went on and flew and retired from Fed X.

LMAO it was a failed missile launch by the IRGC that landed on that school...and the hamas brigade lapped up the story as predicted

The video shows an Iranian missile misfiring and falling on the school…..remember that hospital Hamas accidentally blew up trying to shoot a missile from then blamed Israel?
They seem to be using the same propaganda minister

Source? The only "picture" I've seen was from somewhere else and had snow-capped mountains in the background

I remember building a model of one. Also saw them do flyovers at Indy 500

Manual says to stretch before you get in the cockpit so you can reach around and kiss your ass goodbye.

Thanks for breaking that down for us. We never would have guessed that. ***

Did you read all of the posts, or only certain ones? Because if we're going to admit there is enormous bureaucratic waste in the military, then some of that waste by default has to be in "human capital".

There are many "Veterns" that are doing useless work. If you want to argue that that is not true, then we're not even at a reasonable starting point.

The overwhelming waste is by far is caused by the 536 (Congress + POTUS) who are bought and paid for by the MIC.

Any enlisted "disability" waste is drops in the buckets in comparison...

I just saw how well those new lasers are working. Very impressive.

Which lasers?

Duke taught you better. This might be the laziest use of AI ever.

I'm using the AI for your benefit not mine. I actually read the articles the AI based its assessment on which detailed why we positioned our most advanced air craft carrier next to Israel.

Stop deflecting from the fact our government is prioritizing protecting Israeli lives over American lives.

And yet you still managed to get it wrong…
