Since the US Navy has phased out its fleet of F-14's and AIM-54's and
while, neither the USAF has no aircraft for air engagement for
distances more than 30 miles nor the US Navy, Iran - at the present
time - has more numbers of powerful interceptors of tomcats having
strength of engagement for distances of more than 120 miles away versus
the USA, So that's a new big threat to the USA, because the Iranian
Tomcats not only are armed with AIM-54's but also can be equipped
with new high-efficiency weapons for more threat to USA!!!
So what can do the USA against this new threat?!!

Are you really Tom Cooper???

I read Cooper's Iran/Iraq air war book, and I figure I'd recognize
Cooper's prose if I read it. I know he's got no shortage of non-fans
on this NG, but I doubt that many would confuse overheated posts like
Amir's with Cooper's own. While it's not impossible for TC to have
constructed a carefully consistent alter-ego for the NG (and it would
explain why he hasn't been around that much) I just don't understand
why he'd do it - he's much more effective than Amir.
