i love to see those f-16s in Iraq( Iran)
Have not seen your postings until today. Welcome to the forum SH. I see you're from Iran. I believe you may be the first Iranian to join the board in recent memory. I look forward to your contributions as I'm always keen to learn from others whom I may not always have a chance to interact with.
I think the mods here would agree that we're all friends here even if we may not necessarily agree on everything all of the time. God knows I'm about as far from perfect myself.
Pls feel free to introduce yourself in more detail in the members thread.

Funny thing the F16 and Iran, the Shah had over 150 x F16 on order back in the 1970s with another 150 x F16 as opinion
In total Iran had over 300 x F16 on order from USA the deal was cancelled when the revolution happened in 1979 and the Chinook fleet was targeted at over 120 units!!! Believe that that's 120 Chinooks helicopters even UK today is about half that
Much of the equipment and units ended up going to Pakistan and Israel for their respective F16 fleets
There is some that suggest that Iran was about to receive the F16 ground equipment within months leading up to the revolution it was pretty close another year and Iran would have had few dozen F16s
Having said that they did get 79 x F14 Tomcats the only foreign country ever to operate this type operational to this very day

But they can't be delivered until they are no longer necessary. Like the old saw of the banker who is happy to lent you an umbrella until it starts to rain.

Do you know if Pakistan ISI and Russian FSB have mention anything about cooperation on fighting terrorism by sharing intelligence?
I only read the Dawn article. But I can imagine that within SCO, of which Pakistan will soon be a member, cooperation between the security services is to be deveoped.
