US plans to place F-35 in the Middle East

53
According to information RIA News, the head of the military aviation command Herbert Karlisl announced the intention of the US Air Force to deploy fighters in the Middle East in a few years F-35designed to fight ISIS (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation). Limited deliveries of this type of aircraft to Europe and the Asia-Pacific region can be carried out as early as this spring.



At the same time, Russian and Syrian anti-aircraft missile systems, which are designed to protect important facilities in the Arab Republic, are of some concern to the US military command:

If you look at parts of Syria, inside this zone there is a rather dense anti-air threat. We try to resolve controversial issues. We try to make sure that they know that, of course, they should not highlight our planes, but these systems operate in that environment. They do not illuminate our aircraft with any type of radar sighting targets in large numbers or to a large extent ... But these radars are active.

- explained G. Carslil.

    Wow, how much the US has measured ISIS’s life, and why, after a few years and not now, or according to an old habit, we engage in battle only when it’s almost completed, but we’ll attribute all the glory from the victory to ourselves.

Since cowardice trickster prevails ... Syria called us, and our VKS will not go anywhere. And Syria is our long-standing ally, therefore we defend the Syrian land as ours. Therefore - do not walk on our land with mattress feet, do not trample these tombs with the graves of our ancestors, Russia will stand a century and will stand - on this I stand and will stand !!!

      ISIS does not have such a powerful air defense system that for its breakthrough, aircraft such as the F-35 were needed.

      These planes are not for terror, they are for Iran. Incidentally, one of the main "hydrocarbon barrels" of China.

          Are you sure Iran needs this?
          On the one hand, Russia exposed itself to Iran as an absolutely unreliable partner; they “threw” it twice.
          China, on the other hand, is protecting its investment. According to open sources only, the Celestial Empire holds 55.8% of the arms imports of Iran. And how much in real life, with their "gray" schemes bypassing sanctions ...
          For example, most of the Iranian “copy-paste” was created by joint Iranian-Chinese offices, in which specialists trained again in China worked from Iran.

          On the other hand, even a couple of dozens of such complexes do not solve anything. The air defense system decides. Iran has a weak aviation component, and they are beginning to work towards eliminating this vulnerability.
          For example, bringing to mind with the participation of China the available F-14 Tomcat, which American specialists are still crying for. Or "buying" in exchange for a 20-year lease of a large oil field "Azadegan" Chinese J-10 (they are also "Jian-10" or "Chengdu-10")

            Yes, we froze the supply of S-300 ... there was a thing. But the situation in the Middle East is changing daily and our interests and the mattresses in this region are very opposite. And in this situation, Iran is one of the main controversial points of our powers. And you correctly noted that China will not remain aloof.

      . And the run-in in a battle environment is impatient and afraid.


      While there are enough conventional planes - Israel calmly strikes at terrorists and those who help them in Syria and Lebanon. Whether they see them in Russia or not is not important, the main thing is that Israel has an agreement with Russia - Russia does not crawl when Israel cares about its security, and Israel continues to maintain neutrality in the war.

      But as it will be possible to run around the F35, all the more so much time in Israel have been studying the work of the C400. Not every time such an opportunity is issued, especially since Russia does not interfere.
