CBS News: Iran has secretly moved some of its aircraft to neighboring countries.

Iran managed to secretly relocate some of its aircraft to neighboring countries during the conflict with the United States and Israel, according to the American television channel CBS News, citing unidentified "officials."

Pakistan has reportedly allowed Iran to deploy some of its air force bases aviation Iranian Air Force. The exact number of aircraft is unknown, but it is claimed that an Iranian RC-130 reconnaissance aircraft is definitely located at the Pakistan Air Force's Nur Khan Air Base in Rawalpindi.



There are also reports that Iran ferried some aircraft to Afghanistan, but it's unclear whether any of them were military. Apparently, only civilian airliners were involved.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry denied the CBS News report, stating that it was untrue. There are indeed Iranian aircraft on Pakistani soil, but they arrived during the ceasefire and have no connection to the fighting. These are aircraft carrying Iranian diplomatic delegations, which remain in the country awaiting further instructions from Tehran.

In Afghanistan, they didn't comment at all. If there are Iranian aircraft there, they will remain until the end of the conflict and then fly back.

      Moreover, since they write about it, it is not a secret.

    But Redhead "destroyed" the entire Persian air force...maybe the Iranian fleet will "surface" somewhere...
    It seems Trump has started a campaign to "whitewash" the failure of the adventure.

      The same goes for the coalition. If they'd known about the Iranian planes, they'd have hit Afghanistan too. They have no air defense or nuclear weapons.

      The East is a delicate matter. At best, they'll send you packing; at worst, they'll give you an axe...

    It's happened before... Iraq ferried its planes to Iran during the American attack, and they remained there. Israel recently ferried a plane to Cyprus during the Iranian missile attacks.

    As the last war demonstrated, Iran had no military aviation, no air defense, no sophisticated systems, no navy. The "military" navy was especially amusing—destroying it turned out to be the easiest part of the operation. The Yankees and Israel still had to tinker with the other targets, but the ships, made of shit and sticks, were like targets at a shooting gallery.

    With such a technological lag, the only option for defense is indiscriminate ballistic missile attacks on neighboring countries that are unlucky enough to be nearby.

      Russia should also include this option in its military doctrine.

      Choose wisely who to target—partners who are economically significant to the West but militarily weak, and who won't immediately receive aid from the US or other strong countries.

      It's definitely impossible to attack Japan; the Americans will immediately step in for it.

      Bombing Tashkent or Astana is technically possible, but it's unlikely to have a wow effect on Western society.

      Turkey shouldn't be touched, otherwise they might get hit in return. For the same reason, we can't fire Geraniums at Chinese border towns.

      The most rational choice would be the Baltics and Norway. It's still undesirable to touch Finland; it has a strong army and numerous strike missile systems near our borders.

      We can also mention the Transcaucasus, but it's only Georgia and Armenia. Azerbaijan can't be touched, as it could get a severe beating from Turkey.
