Large-scale F-35 exercises conducted in the USA with alleged development of Iran’s S-300 destruction

Against the background of the aggravation of the situation in connection with the elimination of the Iranian general, the USA conducted the most ambitious trainings in recent years with the participation of the latest F-35 fighters. We are talking about the maneuvers of the 388th and reserve 419th fighter regiments.

In total, 52 F-35A fighter jets were engaged in maneuvers at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. By chance or not, but the number of planes coincided with the number of objects in Iran, which Donald Trump threatened with blows the other day.



The US Air Force command notes that training at Hill Air Base is associated with tests on the effectiveness of technical personnel, coordination of actions of various aviation units in the performance of the assigned combat training mission, to practice the delivery of strikes against both ground and air targets. Separately, measures were worked out to inflict defeat on ground air defense systems of a simulated enemy.

Recall that the Iranian armed forces have Russian-made S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as their own Bavar-373 air defense systems, which are believed to have been created on the basis of the aforementioned S-300s.

Thus, a large-scale training involving 52 F-35A fighters in that part where attacks on air defense assets of the “conditional enemy” were practiced can be connected with practicing possible attacks on the S-300 and other Iranian systems. Given that Trump has several times threatened Iran with bombing of the country's cultural and architectural values, it can be assumed that this scenario is being worked out by the US Air Force.

      In the fall of 2018, in Ukraine, Israeli pilots on the F-15 S (4th generation) tested the S-300. The United States acquired the locator included in this complex.
      According to preliminary data, the F-35 (after some modifications) can cope with the S-300.

Moreover, Iran did not turn to Russia with requests for procurement of S-400. Money, they say, pity them. And the Chinese, Iran’s main friends and partners, are not in a hurry to harness for them. But Alexei does not mind. Generous man Alexei, kind. Maybe the Iranians will thank him for that. And then they will hit me in the back when it is not needed.

            So much money is not found. Iran now has an extremely difficult financial situation. But it may well pay off with oil. It may still allow us to place our base somewhere closer to the Persian Gulf. But this is later when everything calms down.

In peacetime, there are one task, for example, building up military capabilities, and one person will be better able to do this, in the threatened period it will be possible for another to develop competent plans, and, roughly speaking, an order to launch nuclear missiles can be issued by a person with completely different qualities that the first and second.

          To call Chuning's position as "chief of staff of the Pentagon" is to Russian-speaking readers misleading them. In fact, we are talking about the CHIEF OF THE OFFICE OF THE US Secretary of Defense. You cannot make a direct translation of terms.

      For a long time the United States did not give a damn about all the norms, before they even covered themselves with "sheep's skin". If ours would have done something like that, they would have already shipped a bucket of sanctions. No weapon will guarantee Iran's security. Even if Russia and China sell them dozens of S-300 divisions, shells, etc. as soon as possible. A hundred planes and helicopters and a thousand tanks. If the amers have a real reason to slap, they will slap them. Therefore, it is also time to spit on all the norms and agreements and push the old Poplars at a symbolic price.

Yes, the rise in oil prices, as a result of this adventure, will allow not to curtail the production of shale gas in the SGA.

      He has already shown his “steel tricks” to Eun, and to Maduro, and to the whole world. Torgash is not a priori able to play in the boxing ring.
      The reason for Trump's bragging with his willingness to tear "the whole world to pieces" is his lack of information. Sorry, but the received "some" military education does not give the right to imagine himself a strategist.
      All US military tactics are based on the “invincibility” of mass missile attacks and aviation actions in the absence of enemy air defense systems ...
      Are the United States ready for the mass cutting of its own citizens in all parts of the world? Or to the fact that 650 kilogram gifts will fly to them by chance (even if they are at the base or territory of the allied satellite)? belay
      Are they ready for the fact that the Muslim world can be united by the figure of a soldier in the American uniform that is constantly looming on the horizon?

    Thus, a large-scale training involving 52 F-35A fighters in that part of it where attacks on air defense assets of the “conditional enemy” were practiced it is possible to bind with the development of possible attacks on the S-300 and other Iranian systems.

    Such exercises are prepared strongly in advance and are recorded in the plans for the school year. A lot of approvals are underway. It is not necessary to "connect" everything with Iran.

      This is a consequence of any war. As soon as real air battles begin, not just divan ones, right away, all the miscalculations and shortcomings that were difficult to identify during the training (theoretical) operation begin to climb out of the cornucopia.
      For the first downed planes, no less, and even more fierce battle between the designers begins in an attempt to improve and surpass the enemy in terms of performance characteristics.

    For a long time the United States did not give a damn about all the norms, before they even covered themselves with "sheep's skin". If ours would have done something like that, they would have already shipped a bucket of sanctions. No weapon will guarantee Iran's security. Even if Russia and China sell them dozens of S-300 divisions, shells, etc. as soon as possible. A hundred planes and helicopters and a thousand tanks. If the amers have a real reason to slap, they will slap them. Therefore, it is also time to spit on all the norms and agreements and push the old Poplars at a symbolic price.

    The only thing that could potentially save Iran from such threats is an invitation (following the example of Bahrain or Syria) of a foreign air base to the country. Or Chinese or ours. At his own expense to build a base, convenient supply. And invite an airbase or two. If the Iranians come to this with their brains, they will get a safe sky above their heads.

    Iran created its own air defense system, better than the S-300, but slightly worse than the S-400

    Of course better. To shoot down targets at altitudes up to 65 km (as in the material) all over the world with anti-aircraft missile systems can only the Iranians with their supercomplex "Bavar-373". Russia has mastered heights of 400-30 km with its newest serial S-35 complex, and the Persians have doubled. laughing

    Quote: FenH
    It is noted that this place was chosen because of the location beyond the reach of Iranian missiles.

    Nonsense CNN notes. The distance of 3500 km is unlikely any of the Iranian missiles can overcome even now. About 15 years ago, the North Koreans supplied Iran with seemingly 18 Musudan missiles with a similar range, but there is no answer to what happened to them. And to shoot at the airbase with missiles with conventional warheads, which have a CEP twice as large as the width of the airbase itself, is very effective.

    Quote: Livonetc
    We are waiting.
    With any outcome of a planned strike on Iran, it will not be fatal for Iran.
    And the results will also give a lot of material for further improvements to the air defense systems.

    I am afraid that this conflict may become fatal for Iran. Yet Iran is a multinational country, and there are certainly tensions between certain ethnic groups. As long as there is no war, these frictions can be suppressed without harm to the state. And when will the country be "hammered in"? There is no guarantee that all these frictions will not develop into something more serious. And after the conflict, Iran will not have an air defense system. IT will have to be created from scratch, and not modified ...

    Quote: VLADIMIR VLADIVOSTOK
    The S-300 knocks everyone into ruin until the rockets run out. In an attack on Iran, the US will get jihad. Do they need it? Or they have lately beguiled the shores.

    There is no need to make a "wunderwaffe" out of the S-300. A regimental set of 4 divisions is a drop in the ocean. Moreover, the divisions are "spread out" almost over the entire territory of Iran. One is guarding the nuclear power plant, one or two - at nuclear facilities, one - guards the capital. And that the division will knock down the dust if the number of targets that oversaturate the division falls on it. And not only tomahawks, but also booby-trapped missiles, anti-radar missiles? By the way, we should also prepare for the "negative" in relation to our complexes, which will appear en masse in the Western media.

    Well, he will bring down part of the Kyrgyz Republic .... and part of it will cover. Then the F-35 will finish off all the radars over important cities and facilities. Then the B-52 will arrive with bunker bombs and hang over the country for a week.

    The Americans will repeat what they did to Iraq in the 90s, only at a higher technical level. First, they will suppress air defense with interference and missiles (traps and anti-radar), and then only cruise missiles will be launched. Or at least overnight. And if 30 years ago they were able to reach such levels of interference with radar facilities that they were able to completely score them, then over 30 years these abilities have clearly not deteriorated, although the radars have become more jam-resistant. But if you wish, you can also "score" ...

    The loss of at least a pair of f35 in the sky of Iran will close this military adventure with the release of f35! So, the Yankees can PR, but only in the United States, things will not come to a reconciliation! Most likely, they will hit massively with cruise missiles from ships!

    This was said in relation to the F-117 and in relation to other aircraft. EMNIP on TV pictures from the Gulf zone in the 90s also contained fragments of "117". However, the program did not close because of this loss, or because of the Yugoslav one. So it is with the F-35. The plane is initially created on the assumption that it can be shot down. Yes, dear, but if he shows himself well, the line for him will increase ...

    They compared a mass production aircraft to the raw one, which had nowhere to go into battle in essence, the sky-ready f35 !!!

    It is released in the amount of almost 500 pieces, has been in operation for almost 8 years in a dozen countries, and you still have it ready for use. Yes, operation is not without problems, but it will still be necessary to see how, with what problems, our 9 SU-57 will be operated.

    And one F-117 was shot down in Yugoslavia and the entire program was closed.

    Yeah. They shot down in 1999, and the program was closed in 2008. Just because of this. No need to "pull the owl on the globe." The closure of the program is by no means due to the death of one car in Yugoslavia. By that time, the Americans had already launched the F-22 Raptor into the series and it would not have been the best solution to keep far from the best aircraft in operation.

    Yes, not some S-300s will not help Iran in the event of a massive attack on Iran’s facilities by the United States, the difference in technology and capabilities of the armies is too huge. In a massive attack, in the first place, the United States will put so much interference that it drowns out completely, and they have enough forces and means for this, they will destroy all the air defense for the day, including the S-300. They’ll hit all major bases, airfields, headquarters, gaining control in the air and with impunity they will beat any armored vehicles and the accumulation of manpower. The old-fashioned war as it was in Iraq is the worst option for Iran. Iran needs a different approach, given the Iraqi experience, because any frontal collision is a 100% defeat of Iranian forces. Wall-to-wall tactics as it was in Iraq in a tank battle is a defeat, I am silent about outdated Iranian aviation, they fly on f-14s of the 70s. Vietnam will not work, there are no impenetrable jungle. But still, the ground forces of Iran are quite numerous and strong. With the land operation, an easy walk for the Americans definitely will not work, and there will be enough coffins for impeachment to the president

Even if there is nothing to stifle her, well, she will not be able to repulse a massive missile strike stupidly drown. There must be reliable, deeply echeloned air defense and the S-300 itself also needs to be covered, all of this must have developed electronic warfare systems to counter the enemy, I doubt that Iran has it all. S-300 IN THIS CASE, well, it’s not my fault not equal with a large margin in favor of the enemy. I doubt that any Patriot will be able to hold out longer than the S-300 under the same conditions.

    What would I like here, friends ... It is clear that the United States has more strength than Iran. But we all know about Iran’s forces only fragmentary information from open sources, and even those are mostly unreliable.

    S-300, if memory serves, they have a regimental set. 128-192 rounds depending on the configuration (excluding reloading). There are some S-200, like there are "Buki", "Square", "Arrows", "Torah". There are American (60-70s) and Chinese air defense systems. Some SAM of our own production. In principle, if all this is used correctly, you can build a decent defense. Work on lionfish with medium air defense systems, protect S-300 ammunition, use it as a last resort and preferably on aircraft.

    Of the modern aircraft, they seem to have a dozen Su-27s (they bought it at the beginning of the 29s, if memory serves). There are several dozen MiG-14s (presumably). Several dozen F-XNUMXs are old, but fully operational. The order of "Phantoms", and copies of these aircraft produced in Iran. It is not enough for an air battle with modern air forces, but it is in principle possible to support the air defense system.

    Of course, in the event of a large-scale war, the United States will win. The question is what losses the Iranians will be able to inflict on the Americans, and what losses will be acceptable (or unacceptable) for the Americans.
