Perfect -- don't take down the Israeli or the Indian -- American generals speak for rulers who oil thrones they control.
A man speaks only for whom he controls.
.. and where does India figure in this ?

Royal Saudi Air Force F-15C pilots shot down two F-4E Phantom IIs flown by the Iranian Air Force in a skirmish in June 1984
Big ******* deal - Put those Emiratis against Turkish or Israeli Air Force and they will be digging into sand and hiding their aircrafts and defecting to other arab countries.Arbis are a bunch of jokers!
After several hundred years of being subjected to colonialism, I think we've had bloody enough. It's convenient for the gunrunner who profits by selling weapons of war to tell everyone that their neighbour is coming for their throat. Fear is good business. But the hand has been overplayed now...
I would agree. Not all Air Forces are created equal. Since Turkey follows NATO standards for pilot recruitment and training generally pilots see more airtime which translates to better readiness and performance. Plus we are able to host complex training exercises like Anatolian eagle which is set after Red Flag. Plus we have also done mock dogfights with Israeli pilots and have practiced at their computerized firing range at Nevatim airfield.

During the Iraq-Iran war, the western arms smuggler sold to both sides while the governments sat dead, blind and mute.
The only criteria to join saudi armed forces is to hail from a tribe traditionally loyal to al-sauds. Odinary people cannot serve on any position even remotely powerful like pilots or air defence. Shias are totally banished from enrolling in armed services.
In Turkey almost all pilots come from people who have graduated from military high schools. You generally have to start your military training there if you want to end up as a pilot. Public high school students are almost never selected regardless of grades.
There is no need to admires on the Turkish relationship with Israel...There is no takers across the Muslim World specially in Pakistan.
4th gen vs. 3rd gen. Not exactly a fair fight.

No i think the General is kinda right. Just compare the two air forces to get a picture:
UAE Operates 79 F-16s and 68 Mirage2000s. A total of 147 aircraft which are all 4-4.5 gen and BVR capable.
Iran doesn't operate any aircraft that's BVR capable. Their best aircrafts are vintage F-14 Tomcats and early model MiG-29s. According to wiki, they have about 60 F-14s, 21 MiG-29s, 37 F-4 Phantoms and 75 F-5s. And a handful of indegenous aircraft.
So i can see UAEAF wiping out the Iranian Air Force easily, though not in "seconds" Maybe a few hours, if both parties send all their planes out.

You r right in saying, Iranian air force will be whipped out within hour's, but what if couple of iranian aircraft's go through the net with nuclear pay load, than what will going to happen, who will be whipped out, just a thought, in reality it wont going to happen.![]()
