🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 A former Israeli Air Force commander explains why Iran is shooting down American jets... Iran completely rebuilt its air defense doctrine after the 12-day war. A former IAF commander told me "the days when flying over Iran was a walk in the park are over." Here's what changed: Each of Iran's 31 zones now operates independently if Tehran is cut off. No more waiting for orders from a command center that might already be destroyed. Mobile launchers use shoot-and-scoot tactics from tunnels and mountain terrain. New passive infrared systems track jets without emitting radar signals, meaning pilots don't know they're being targeted until a missile is already in the air. The biggest revelation: Iran is using China's HQ-9B, Beijing's best long-range surface-to-air missile, with both active radar and infrared seekers. Standard electronic countermeasures struggle against it. And Iran's homegrown Bavar-373 reportedly outperforms Russia's S-300 and possibly the S-400. Iran ditched Russian technology, replaced it with Chinese and domestic systems, decentralized command, went mobile, went passive, and went underground. The result: two American aircraft down in a single day after five weeks of assumed air dominance. Source: @academic_la
