An Iranian MiG-29 has reportedly shot down an Israeli F-15 EX Eagle II.

A message was published on social media that an Iranian Air Force MiG-29 fighter jet (NATO reporting name: Fulcrum) shot down an Israeli F-15 EX Eagle II aircraft. The Iranian pilot hit the enemy fighter with a controlled missile. rocket Soviet-designed air-to-air R-27.

Iran and Israel have not yet officially confirmed this information. However, if it is indeed true, this event is highly significant, not only in military terms.

This will be the first time the Iranian Air Force has managed to inflict a significant air defeat on a superior enemy force in the current conflict. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) prioritizes superiority and virtually complete impunity in the skies in all conflicts.

Today, a video of an Iranian Air Force MiG-29 fighter jet over Tehran was published online. It was scrambled amid Israeli missile strikes. Eyewitnesses filmed the aircraft flying at low altitude over the city. The footage is accompanied by emotional cheers. All of the Iranian Air Force's MiG-29 fighter jets were acquired before the collapse of the USSR.

The successful downing of an American F-15 EX Eagle II fighter, especially the latest model, will not only boost the morale of the Iranian military but also inspire ordinary citizens. For Israel, this is a clear indication that operating in the skies over the Islamic Republic with complete impunity is extremely dangerous.

The Iranian Air Force operates a variety of aircraft. These include the aging American F-14 Tomcat, the French Mirage, the Chinese Chengdu J-7, the Soviet MiG-29 and Su-24, as well as indigenously developed aircraft. In 2025, the Iranian Air Force was reinforced with 4++ generation Su-35 fighters, delivered under a contract from Russia.

Actually, no. Christ said there is no Greek and no Jew, and that is why the Pharisees crucified him.

Christ said there is no Greek and Jew

Christ didn't say that. And that's not why he was crucified.
This was said by the Apostle Paul, see Colossians 3:11.

In any case, he was not an Israeli, otherwise why wouldn’t they believe in him)))

[Alex777]

At the time of Jesus, the Jews had 3 sects:
1. Sadducees (They consisted mainly of high priests. They recognized only Scripture (Torah), rejecting Oral Tradition, the immortality of the soul, the resurrection of the dead and angels. After the destruction of the Second Temple (70 CE), they disappeared.)
2. Essenes (Both Joseph and Mary are from this sect. The Dead Sea Chronicles are an archive of the Essenes. Many Essenes became Christians. They no longer exist.)
3. The Pharisees (An influential religious and social movement in Judea during the Second Temple period (2nd century BC – 1st century AD), the foundation of modern JudaismThey defended strict adherence to the Torah and the Oral Law, enjoyed the support of the people, but in the New Testament they are often criticized for hypocrisy and formalism).

[Hitriy Zhuk]

Quote: albert

Christ said

There are a bunch of versions of the gospel, from the Vasyans, who weren’t really close, often contradicting each other.

Let's leave aside the question of whether such a character existed at all, let's say.
But whether he actually said that is a big question.
In fact, it was a common thing: with the death of an ideological leader (it was essentially a kind of sect back then), a struggle for power began between different movements and leaders (these apostles).

In theory, you need to look for the earliest written document, preferably one written during his lifetime (like "since it was in his presence, he could have hit you on the head if something wasn't written").

Quote: albert

crucified by the Pharisees

Well, it was the Romans who crucified him.
The rest is shifting blame and responsibility (I won’t decide, let THEY decide).

He was a subject of the Roman Empire.

According to which document is this?

Quote: Havoc

Jesus Christ was a Jew, but not an Israelite,

At that time, as now, a Jew was considered equal to the tribe of Israel. In fact, Jesus was a Jew, although they were called Jews back then, even though he didn't have an Israeli passport like Chubais.

[AndreyM]

If we come to that, not only did the state of Israel not yet exist during the time of Jesus' life, but even now the city of Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, is not in Israel ;)

[Gregazov]

Good evening. You're getting your hopes up. Jews literally mean people who crossed the Euphrates River and left the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, at God's command. There were many of them—the main ones being Abraham and his family, but there were also servants, shepherds, and his nephew Lot. Jacob (his second name, Israel), was Abraham's grandson through his wife Sarah. Israel is the founder of 12 tribes, which were led by his children and grandchildren. He blessed the tribe of Judah with power over the other tribes. The last king over all Israel was Solomon. His son lost power over the other tribes and retained it only over Judah, Levi, and part of Benjamin. Jesus Christ (Yeshua in Hebrew) was from the tribe of Judah and was a direct descendant of Kings David and Solomon.

[Alisa Tatova]

Then Jesus certainly wasn't Jewish if he was a direct descendant of David and Solomon. Solomon's mother, David's wife, was not Jewish.

[the same doctor]

Ancient Jewish families were patriarchal, and descent was transmitted through the father. Passage through the mother was a later acquisition.

[nik-mazur]

It was precisely at that time that Israel and Judea were different kingdoms that even fought with each other.

[Revolver]

Quote: Havoc

Jesus Christ was a Jew, but not an Israelite; he was a subject of the Roman Empire.

Subjects of the Roman Empire were legally forbidden from crucifixion. Beheading, throwing off a cliff, or sending them to the circus to fight each other or wild animals were all allowed, but not the cross. Only slaves and foreigners were crucified. However, subjects of states dependent on Rome were not considered subjects of the empire.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: Nagan

Subjects of the Roman Empire were not legally allowed to be executed by crucifixion.

Not just a subject, but a Roman citizen. And while execution was supposedly permitted, it wasn't practiced, as crucifixion was considered too shameful a method of execution.

[Lako]

You're confusing two different statuses: allegiance and citizenship. Citizens of the Roman Empire were indeed not crucified, and a subject is someone who resided within the empire and paid taxes. Jesus was not a citizen of the Roman Empire. Therefore, his sentence was passed by a spiritual court, the Sanhedrin. The procurator of Judea merely confirmed it. According to the law of the time, the Sanhedrin was deprived of the right to pronounce the death sentence.

[the most important]

Jesus Christ was a Jew,
You should ask Deputy Makarov. He proved in the Duma that even Cheburashka is a true Jew. His logic is simple: Cheburashka arrived in a crate of oranges, and at the time, Israel was supplying us with oranges. Therefore, Cheburashka is Jewish! If anything, ask Makarov.

In Germany, some theologians seriously argued that St. Mary was Persian by blood, i.e., Aryan, and that Christ's father was a German mercenary from the auxiliary units of a Roman legion stationed in Judea—I can't recall the number or name. They invented archaeological and documentary "evidence." And these studies were even seemingly praised by the then-ruling NSDAP party. It's understandable why—it seemed somehow politically incorrect to have nearly all of Aryan Germany praying to a racially inferior subhuman, the son of a Jewish woman, and the paternity issue was completely unclear.

[Right hand of the eye]

Come on... The Jews didn't even know him... But he knew them and denounced them... -
“Then they said to Him, ‘Where is Your Father?’ Jesus answered, You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also.
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury as he taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come."
Then the Jews said, “Will this man kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
He said to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.”
Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.
Then they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “I am from the beginning, as I tell you.”
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you; but he who sent me is true, and what I have heard from him I speak to the world.
They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing of Myself, but speak these things as My Father taught Me.”
He who sent Me is with Me; the Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.
When He said this, many believed in Him.
Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you continue in My word, then are you truly My disciples,
and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
They answered him, “We are Abraham’s seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone; how can you then say, ‘You will become free?’”
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.”
But the slave does not abide in the house forever; the son abides forever.
So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
I know that you are Abraham's seed; yet you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.
I speak what I have seen with my Father; and you do what you have seen with your father.
They answered and said to him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.”
And now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I have heard from God: Abraham did not do this.
You do the works of your father. Then they said to him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.”
Jesus told them: If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God. For I did not come of Myself, but He sent Me.
Why do not you understand My speech? Because you cannot hear My words.
Your father is the devil; and you want to fulfill the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and did not stand in the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks his own, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe Me.
Which of you convicts me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
He who is of God hears the words of God. You do not hear them because you are not of God.
The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not say rightly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
Jesus answered, I do not have a devil; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

Quote: Fitter65

Well, actually, such a state didn't exist back then. The Roman colony on this territory had a slightly different name.

[Dima68]

Jesus was a Samaritan, and by the time he was born, Israel had been wiped off the face of the earth for 700 years.

[Rabbitnexus]

Jesus was never an Israelite. He was actually Palestinian and the original Hebrew blood is what flows through their veins. NOT as it happens Khazars which is what modern Jews are. Converts to Pharisaic Judaism from about 700 years past. Nothing to do with the Middle East and the original Zionists knew this all along. You can read about it in Invention Of The Jewish People by Shlomo Sand the Israeli history professor. Like it or not, modern Jews are mostly fakes. That they mostly converted to Christianity and Islam in the intervening time doesn't change the fact the original Hebrews are Palestinian today.

[matwey]

So how will he punish if Jesus Christ himself is an Israelite?

They sold him for 30 silver, he will punish him according to his relatives...

[Diviz]

This is what Catholics and Jews decided at their meeting, relatively recently. And Paul wasn't an apostle, he simply made it all up and rewrote it. If I'm not mistaken, this was during the time of Constantine, the founder of Byzantium.

What's old? The F-15EX made its first flight in 2021, and compared to the older F-15s, it ranks roughly the same as the Su-35 compared to the Su-27.

[Dmitry Rigov]

Specifically, the F-15 EX Eagle II headline says it's a relatively new aircraft. Israel doesn't have one yet, though; a contract for delivery was signed a couple of months ago, with a deadline of 2035. So, it's clearly a hoax.

[voland_1]

So, the American was the only one who piloted it.

[Andrey62]

Specifically from the title, the F-15 EX Eagle II is a fairly new aircraft.

I've read several times that Israel typically installs its own equipment, which differs significantly from the standard equipment on US aircraft...

[TermNachTer]

The F-15 EX is the newest model, only recently launched. It's safe to assume that some older F-15 airframes were upgraded to this specification, but in any case, those with longer airframe life were chosen.

[TermNachTer]

I'd love to, of course, but the likelihood of that is extremely low. Unless the mattress pilot has made a major mistake.

Among them are the outdated American F-14 Tomcat and the French Mirage...

These aircraft won't do much fighting. They need a well-coordinated air defense system, electronic warfare systems, and well-trained crews.

[Cool90]

We've already heard about Iran's completely destroyed air defenses: three times by Israel and once by the US, though only in words.

[GEV67]

Why so little? I need to write more.

[Fitter65]

Iran and Israel have not yet officially confirmed this information.

Throughout the entire existence of the terrorist state of Israel, not a single one of their aircraft has been shot down or destroyed. They've lost planes due to technical failure, pilot error, and very rarely. And only technical failure. The objective control footage is a montage. The parts of the downed planes are fake.

[Schiller]

You're wrong. My professor at the military department told me how our ZSU-23-4 crews shot down Israeli pilots. Some pilots were caught twice in practically the same place. You could chalk it up to the professor bragging, but he said he had no part in it. Even the enemy Wikipedia confirms Israel's losses. And there were quite a few planes there.

They admitted it in 1967, during the War of Attrition, and in 1973. And even a couple of years ago, they acknowledged the loss of an F-16 over Israel (!!!) to a Syrian S-200. True, after that, the Jews dealt a serious blow to Syrian air defense positions, leaving them with not only no technical capability, but even no desire to repeat the experience.

[Cool90]

Again, they verbally attacked the Syrian air defense positions, and completely destroyed the Iranian air defense three times, and the funniest thing is, according to some American pilot, they also completely destroyed the Iranian air defense

[Inevitably]

Absolutely true, however, for the “opponents” any information that does not coincide with their beliefs is false.

[Andrey62]

But the most interesting thing is that Israel never admits its losses, despite Wikipedia.

If you read the information about US losses in the Korean War, you'll find that they were practically nonexistent, while they "shot down" thousands of Soviet aces. But the truth is, we know who was more professional...

[Andrey62]

You won't believe it, but 11 years ago, "very authoritative" forum members told me that everything was different. And it was the Syrian Air Force that suffered colossal losses.

In our KUATS (2nd year), Colonel Shum, who was an advisor to the USSR in Syria and was awarded the Syrian Hero Star (that's what it's called, I think), told us (in 1981) how they really smashed the Israeli Air Force...

[TermNachTer]

They confirmed it when destroyed equipment or the bodies of the killed remained in territories not controlled by Jews. In all other cases, there were no losses.

[Fitter65]

Quote: TermNachTER

Confirmed - when there was broken equipment or dead bodies

But how? Equipment failure, spontaneous ammunition explosion. Even spontaneous combustion. But not from enemy action.

[TermNachTer]

Well, when it lies in territory not controlled by Jews, then you can look and understand why it was relegated to the category of non-living.

[Cool90]

I'm reminded of the three times destroyed Iranian air defenses, there are doubts that they weren't shot down...

[Dost]

Since when is the Su-35 considered 5th generation?

[Junior Private]

Generation classification is a relative concept. By American standards, the F-22 is fifth. The F-35 isn't exactly high-tech; its engine needs to be upgraded to meet fictitious American "standards" without afterburners. So what's the point of all these generations? You could just bolt on a long-range, high-precision version of the 2++ or 3- generation. The difference wouldn't be very noticeable compared to the fifth.

[Cool90]

In terms of its characteristics, the Su-35 was a 6th generation fighter in that theater of operations; the others were most likely far behind.

[smart fellow]

All MiG-29 fighters of the Iranian Air Force were acquired before the collapse of the USSR.

Last September, Russia delivered several MiG-29s to Iran to strengthen the Iranian Air Force before the delivery and deployment of the Su-35.

The pilot hit an enemy fighter with a Soviet-designed R-27 air-to-air guided missile.

The MiG-29s were also supposed to be equipped with more modern missiles. Otherwise, there was little point in delivering the MiG-29s, as these Soviet-built fighters were already in service with the Iranian Air Force but were no match for enemy aircraft.

[K-50]

Quote: smart fellow

The MiG-29 was supposed to be equipped with more modern missiles.

What's the point of supplying a longer-range missile if the radar can't see that far?

[smart fellow]

The MiG-29s' configuration is unknown. It's not just a question of range. Targeting could have been external—the Chinese allegedly supplied the HQ-9 and other military equipment. The Chinese Liaowang-1 SIGINT ship tracks airborne targets. It's clear it doesn't guide missiles, but it does indicate the location of enemy aircraft, meaning the MiG pilot already knew the Israeli aircraft's location.

[K-50]

One can speculate for a long time without any information, neither technical nor political, so it's pointless.

[smart fellow]

I reported on information published in the media about the delivery of MiG-29s by Russia last year and corrected the author.

[TermNachTer]

They could have installed an updated version of the 29, with a more powerful radar. There was information that such a thing existed, but it simply wasn't widely disseminated because the 29 is practically never used in Russia.

[d.zacharith]

The first MiG-29s, I recall, flew from Iraq to Iran back during Desert Storm.

[Junior Private]

The R-27 may be old, but it's a solid missile, like everything Soviet. The MiG-29 was, and still is, a beauty. If the shootdown is confirmed, it's clearly a mistake on the part of the command. To expose an F-15 to a missile with such a range would require a complete imbecile.

The video definitely shows a MiG-29 (judging by the smoking engines), and if it also hit another of the fresh Orelikas... Oh, how fun everything is spinning (forgive me, Lord!)
Glory to the Iranian pilots and the Air Force!

[Cool90]

The video shows a MiG-29, but Jewish and American planes are afraid to fly into Iranian territory and only fire missiles, so an air battle is unlikely.

[K-50]

In 2025, the Iranian Air Force will be replenished with 5th-generation Su-35 fighters.

It's a bit of a bummer, though.

[PVV66]

A writer who just wants to write... For likes. And apparently knows his stuff like a pig in oranges.

[Ivan Mladic]

🙏I really want to believe!
God grant that the Satanists get into even more trouble!

[ALEKS112233]

Your words are in the ears of God! And the video of the plane flying by is very impressive!

[Vadim_Belov]

If it had been shot down, Iran would have released footage of the wreckage immediately. But this looks like a fabrication that was picked up by the media.

[Cool90]

If they had shot it down, it's not a given that they would have found the crash site right away, but the fact of a shootdown is unlikely, since the Americans and Jews operate missiles from afar and are afraid to fly over the LBS

[Kisulken]

All of Iran is using Western neural networks to generate yet another downed plane.

[old64]

Incidentally, in 1999, during NATO bombing raids in Yugoslavia, a US Air Force F-117 stealth attack aircraft was shot down by an S-125 (Pechora) missile. So, this was simply a case of luck, an underestimation of the potential of one side or the other.

[Vadim_Belov]

I watched a documentary about this episode. They even baked the crew commander who shot down the Stealth a cake shaped like the plane. He said he'd been creating false positions by leaving the microwave on while changing positions.

[Sergey1984]

Well done! Good luck to the Iranians!

[1944-1989]

This is a heroic and extremely difficult feat, given the condition and age of the Iranian aircraft.

[voyaka uh]

Israel does not have it in service.
F-15 EX Eagle II.
Only at the end of 2025 was a contract signed for their delivery, starting in 2030.

[Wildcat]

Who cares about that at VO? The local "Military Review Martyrs' Brigade" is already celebrating! And when they post a photo of a stadium-sized plane—like last year—they'll be "in a tizzy!"
Such an audience...

[Stirbjorn]

That's not even close... internet warriors love to believe such tales during wartime. In Iraq, a grandfather killed an Apache with a Berdan rifle, in Ukraine, the "ghost of Kyiv," Makarevich was shot down in an F-35 in Iran this summer, and so on. Every conflict has its own legends.

[Cool90]

Well, judging by the previous howls, the VO strongly supports the Jews, and no one asked for evidence when the Jews stated that Iran's air defense was completely destroyed.

[Inevitably]

It seems that this "brigade" suffers from not just a chronic, but an incurable disease with symptoms of vivid and "unusual" beliefs!

[Cool90]

The US has an F-15EX, but the radar doesn't know the aircraft's origin.

[Inevitably]

For a certain category of commentators, this is absolutely unimportant; they almost always perceive any quasi-patriotic nonsense without critical consideration and vacillate between extreme states of joyful excitement with cries of "victory" and gloomy depression with cries of "betrayal."

[Kusja]

Damn, what's the point of talking about anything without real data? If only...

[Mikhail Nasharashev]

By the way, nothing has been heard about the use of the Su-35.

[Cool90]

It took the Ukrainians two years to master the F-16, and even then, they fly in the rear, pretending to participate, while the Su-35s were delivered in 2025, and that's not a fact, and the Iranians can't even hold a candle to the Ukrainians.

[Mikhail Nasharashev]

It's not a fact that Ukrainians fly F-16s; this hasn't been scientifically proven yet.
Rumor has it that Americans, Canadians, and Europeans fly them there.

[stone]

Oh, the lies are starting again. Is it true that the Israeli Air Force doesn't have EXs? They're just on order.

[merkava-2bet]

Bravo, you are the first to notice, but the people here need “bread and circuses”, otherwise they get bored.

[Nikolaevich I]

Death to the Israeli monsters! My God! Israel has no right to exist. Israeli Jews are worse than Hitler's fascists! People of the world, understand this! The earth must burn under the feet of these vile Israelis!

[Cool90]

Jews, like all people, are different. There are good ones (for example, my friends live in Russia), and there are bad ones. I don’t think there’s any need to wish bad things on all Jews.

[Nikolaevich I]

I don't wish ill on "all Jews"! I wish ill only on Israelis (Israeli Jews) who are tainted by inhumane crimes, those Israeli Jews who "earned the right" to be called fascists! In the SVO, only Russians (Russians of Ukraine) are killing Russians in Russia! Because the "first" refuse to consider themselves Russian and call themselves Ukrainians! And Russians rejoice when they kill odious VSU members, Nazis, who are Russian by nationality! Nazi, VSU member - primary! Nationality in this case is secondary! When I say Israeli Jews, I mean Israelis who live and act according to fascist ideology, fascist principles! Otherwise, fascism reigns supreme in Israel, and the bearers of fascism are Israeli citizens—that is, Israeli Jews! Not all, but many! And I don't speak ill of the Jews of Russia, France, Moldova,... but I can't speak well of Israeli fascists—that is, Israeli Jews, who are the instruments and conductors of fascist principles!

[Wildcat]

The successful destruction of an American F-15 EX Eagle II fighter, especially the latest modification, will not only boost the morale of the Iranian military, but also inspire ordinary citizens.

After photos of F35s shot down by Iran the size of a two-story building, the Iranians can only be trusted after clear photo/video proof!

[YES UZH]

Evidence is needed, of course. As for the "story" with the giant F35, there was information that the Iranians weren't the ones who first planted it; it was an attempt to make them look like suckers and completely incompetent. It later spread across the internet.

[Cool90]

After being completely destroyed three times by Iran's air defenses, there's still no faith in the Jews.

[Rakitin]

Mu-mu has already destroyed the Air Force and Air Defense of the Outskirts 100 times in four years, thanks to Konashenkov's words. And nothing happened—every time it's like new.

[Cool90]

For some reason you're lying again, insulting, if it was a torn ass..., don't bring your nonsense here, it's not my fault that the IDF, pissed on by Hamas, lied about completely destroying Iran's air defense three times.

[garrycooper1]

Quote: Junior Private

The R-27 may be old, but it's a solid missile, like everything Soviet. The MiG-29 was, and still is, a beauty. If the shootdown is confirmed, it's clearly a mistake on the part of the command. To expose an F-15 to a missile with such a range would require a complete imbecile.

If it is an R-27ET, for example, with heat guidance, then its range is up to 100 kilometers or more if the launch was towards the enemy.
I let it go and forgot.
Unlike the R-77/R-27ER with a semi-active mode, this missile does not need to illuminate the target with an onboard radar before hitting.
In this case, the crew of the Israeli plane might not even know that a missile was flying at it - the SPO would remain silent.

[Nord11]

They shot down an F-15 and probably killed the pilot. This is pure anti-Semitism. Where's the hysteria from the global progressive community?

[merkava-2bet]

So, the Iranians have a time machine that shoots down an F-15 EX Eagle II fighter that hasn't yet entered service, we have the F-15C/D, F-15I and also the F-35I.

[Rakitin]

"All of the Iranian Air Force's MiG-29 fighters were acquired before the collapse of the USSR."

Interesting wording :-) This is one of the MiG-29s that Iraqi pilots flew to neighboring Iran in the winter of 1991 at the onset of the active phase of Desert Storm. Iran never returned.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

A message was published on social media that an Iranian Air Force MiG-29 fighter jet (NATO reporting name: Fulcrum) shot down an Israeli F-15 EX Eagle II aircraft.

The legend is fresh, but it is hard to believe.

Last time, at least AI was used to create photos of downed Israeli planes, but now someone just wrote nonsense on social media and there's already an article on VO, and the turbopatriots are rejoicing.

[Hiller]

Their words, may God hear them. If so, then for starters, a "well done" assessment. Good luck in the noble work of the Iranian Air Force.

[oleg_627]

Iran has Su-35 and S-300, but for some reason there are no downed planes or missiles heading towards Iran. And again, they were shot down by the Soviets.

[Stas1973]

Why would the author lie? All the MiG-29s weren't purchased from the USSR, but were inherited from Iraq. During the US invasion of Iraq, they were flown from Iraq to Iran.

[Iris]

I haven't read anything funnier in a long time.
Iranian pilots in their museum exhibits, slightly newer than the Wright brothers' craft, are natural suicide bombers from the moment they roll out onto the runway.
The 35s could be an exception, but here's the problem: unfortunately, you need to know how to fly them. And the Iranians, unlike the Israeli Air Force, which is the most powerful in the air force, aren't famous for this. They fight differently: they mass-produce fakes.
Well, everyone has their own calling.

[stoqn477]

Looks like it's time for some jokes!

[easy]

If what is written is true, then this is probably the first case of shooting down an F-15, especially in the EX modification. And the fact that it was our MiG-29, and such an ancient one at that, is, as they say, unnecessary to comment on.

[mad-max78]

Enough arguing, there is a video of the F15 falling, it certainly took a long time to fall.

[deathtiny]

"Our pilot Li-Si-Tsyn shot you down" (c) ;-)))

[garik77]

The telegram says that Kuwaiti air defense is senseless but merciless. They shot down three F-15s. I wonder if they have a friend/foe system there?
