I took these back in 2018 ... (was quite the adventure dare I say ...)

That is a persistent myth that has long been debunked. To the day the Persians highly distrust the Russians and they never forgot how they got srewed over by the Russians several times after WWII. Do not mix up the cooperation out of necessity that the mullahs and the IRGC went into with Russia...

Read post #3,5,6 .. And I chill and unchill whenever want.

That whole thing has made huge waves in social media and F-14 nutts are going crazy over it, especially after the clip by Ward Carrol. Some speculate that Jarod Isaacman is behind the act. If that was the case, funding wouldn't be much of an issue I suppose. ....However, I don't want to be the...

Well gues that is just the title of the video in the OPs link. Hardly anything Mr. Bob could do about it. :)

I know for a fact that Iran flies their Tomcats to the day. I took these images myself and many more like these back in 2018 and 2019 just before the Covid-mess when the political climate still allowed for foreigners to halfway safely travel the country (impossible today I guess). If...
