The goal of the aircraft is to "keep the enemy paralyzed in its bases," he said, adding that the jet is for deterrence and defensive purposes.
Wonder how that will work out for them in practice :hmmm:

Well if its for "deterrence and defensive purposes" how is it going to "keep the enemy paralyzed in its bases" without using it? :hmmm:

Moreover, wouldn't the enemy be likely to move out of their bases so as not to present a static target?

Who wants to bet the first thing this hits is a city?

Or a ship in the Gulf Of Hormuz?

*facepalm*

iran would do itself no end off good if it were to drop the raging nutcase attitude and rhetoric. But I suppose that's the hallmark of a regime that must behave so or loose it's dominance - so it's less to do with the rest of the world, and all about domestic politics.

Hehe, who do they have to fight now iraq is a smoking ruin with no clear government? Saudi arabia? Kuwait? Yemen? UAE? Israel? Bahrain? Pakistan? WHO then?

It's nice that they can spend money on new and expensive technology on the one hand, whilst practising a barbarous medieval justice system, the likes of which most of the rest of the world left behind in the fifteenth century. But that's a whole lot of progress to choke on all at once :O:

I'm not sure if it is 'nutcase' rhetoric, but it certainly is aggressive; more aggressive than is probably wise.

Two things to keep in mind

Farsi is a language that is known for its colourful, flowery, and symbolic terms

What you are reading is a translation that may be heavily biased to put the translation in the worst possible way.

Better to err on the side of caution until a definitive conclusion is arrived at.

Personally speaking, I don't trust the buggas because one of the potential outcomes is too serious to contemplate/gamble on.

No, I don't trust them either. I just think they're more stupid than crazy.
