Foreign military sales can have a downside.

#8  The 117's are retired, but I think a nice surgical strike should be undertaken to wipe out any of OOgo's remaining F-16's.
Surely the Great Warrior that single-handedly took out Osama Bin Forgotten can get past Cancerbreath's Sopwith Camels or whatever he has for an air farce.

#7  Once they get airborne, landing will be the least of their worries.

#5  How good are Iranian pilots?

If they are even half as good as their "navy" claims to be, we're doomed.

#4  In most cases if the aircraft are equal the better pilot wins. How good are Iranian pilots?

#3  Not a huge deal. The export version of the F-16 uses off the shelf radar, tracking and jamming equipment. Iranian "calibration" would only hurt them as the military US grade stuff would laugh at the attempt and still blow their asses to Narnia.
