The points are as follows.

1. You have no source to back up claims made here that counter the numbers of planes that were operational during the 1980's post revolution embargo.

2. You claim a site is bogus and not accurate while numerous bonafide Iranian veterans publicly sign their name and comment to the contrary.

As for the rest I will wait for the Major to comment on your stories and claims. I am not an expert on Iran, never did claim this. I do however claim a very good working knowledge of english and a couple other languages and the ability to read and reason. I look forward to reading the words of a real Iranian veteran on this forum soon.

Till then I will let this ride.



From your own sources:

Quote:
This enabled the IRIAF to keep upwards of 30 aircraft operational during the war although at times this dropped to as low as 10.
