Red Crescent Helicopters are used to Ferry government officials?
There is is a thing called "symbolic." Just saying.
Iran has over 1500 small privately owned and corporate aircraft as can be seen in the hangers. Just for information Iran Red Crescent is government affiliated organization like in all countries and the Mi-17 are flown by Havanirooz or Sepah pilots. IRC is perhaps the best prepared in the region and has extensive experience in dealing with all sorts of emergencies.
Iran is in 5th place!

Iran is in 4th place!

Correct, I have posted detailed accounts of Iranian rotary aviation on many occasions. Iran was the pioneer in introducing large numbers of attack helicopters in the region and IRIAA Havanirooz flyers hold numerous world records on different helicopter types. Iranian AH-1J Cobras have seen the most active combat role in the world and perfected the steep angle dive strafing attack mode against massed armor in the jange tahmili. Various Iranian military, police, border gendarme and civil defence units operate over 1000 rotary craft including at least 200 attack helicopters. The mega-bases at Isfahan and Kermanshah are some of the largest in the world.

====5th place in number of various aircraft
but in terms of having the best or strongest air force Iran isn't in the top 20.....
besides the US, Russia China and the Europeans, of course.........
locally, Israel, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey all are much more formidable in military aircraft than is Iran.
both Egypt and Turkey have far more helicopters than does iran.
Not correct. Egypt is totally dependent on US and can't even overhaul a primitive helicopter, while Turkey is a nominal NATO "ally", even though the US does not give it modern equipment and had to send Dutch and German troops to man the Patriot batteries in its Syria terrorism drive. Iran produces all types of helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. Let's not go to Pakistan as it is a charity basket case controlled by US and has to beg for food let alone have an airforce which is mostly 1960's second hand Aussie Mirage III and Chinese assorted junk and few antiquated earlier F-16 which the US controls.
Iran is a self-reliant power and is in a class of its own. Even today, with its aging but self-maintained airpower, Iran can clean the clock of any its neighbors. BTW, Iran has more F-14A, Mirage F1EQ and MIG 29 and all locally upgraded than any of its puppet neighbors bar Russia and India. Iran will be getting more modern Russian and domestic aircraft soon. Stay tuned as Persian Power rises. I don't want to belabor the robust Iranian missile force which stands at 4th largest in the world and can overwhelm any aggressor. ENOUGH SAID.
Iran's air force would be reduced to splinters by the Israelis, clock-polisher.
the Israelis more US airplanes than does Iran, the Israelis have better and newer Us airplanes than the old crap possessed by the Iranians and the Israeli pilots are vastly better than are the Iranians.
Irans main striking force is not its airforce but its ballistic missile force which is the most formidable in the region,with this iran can destroy any target within 2000km of irans borders only after this would iran send in its airforce to finish off any remaining targets with pgm`s.The saudis cant even maintain their own airforce how well it would do in combat is anyones guess,I doubt very much that the saudis would ever be wiling to pick a fight with iran.The only one of these countries that would present a threat would be israel and they would be hard pressed to launch a single large strike against iran whereas iran would be able to launch a large retaliatory missile strike against them
your absolutely correct that Iran can't compete with Israel's air force........
but you're wildly and hilariously incorrect to think that Iran's missiles have even a fraction of the power of Israel's. do you have a mental block or are you the lone Iranian unaware of what Israel can place atop their missiles so that it would take but one of them to turn Tehran flat, hot and smooth as glass?
is Iran really a nation of ignorant silly braggarts or is it merely you?
I have met an information in the past, that Iran had ability to manufacture over 70 balistic missiles per month...and that it had an arsenal exceeding 1000 missiles of that types, at that time.
A-F
Zionist entity will simply disappear and they know it! lollipops anyone?
I was under the assumption that you were talking about conventional weapons,silly me for expecting a rational discourse from a pro zionist/shah loving/mek supporting/professional malcontent like yourself.If iran wanted the bomb it could swiftly build one it would take only the political decision,but as I said irans ballistic missile forces whether conventionally armed or not could inflict severe damage on israels civilian and military infrastructure,the israeis seem to take it very seriously considering the large sums,and all those us tax payers dollars,they`ve spent on things like the arrow/arrow 2 abm`s.Israels ballistic missile force is tiny and meant purely for the delivery of nuclear weapons.irans is huge and meant to deliver conventional warheads,can you see the difference??
And iran has the largest ballistic missile force that depending on who you believe numbers anywhere from only a few hundred to as many as a couple of thousand.It would be very hard for the israelis to launch anything if their runways were covered in craters and unexploded cluster bombs and their surviving aircraft effectively trapped in their shelters waiting to be finished off by a follow up missile strike or air launched pgms,that is the potential of irans missile forces and it is formidable only an ignorant fool would think otherwise
sorry sonny, but when you spout off about crap that's wrong in several ways.... it's easiest to respond to your silly lies with one obvious and undeniable fact.
your silly bragging isn't worth point-by-point refutation.
but if you ask, I'll point out three more silly claims in that silly comment.
Very astute observation. In 2006, Hezbollah lions decapitated 3 Zionist airfields in Northern Occupied Palestine by merely firing a few 122mm grads and setting fires. The Zionist entity is smaller than metro-Tehran and has barely 9 operational airbases and now with over 200,000 Iranian missiles from Zel-Zel to Fajrs in both Syria and Lebanon, all the Zionist airfields will be shut-down or destroyed within minutes. Hence the Zionists are scared and have signed deals with Greece and some Arab puppets to continue operations or to save their airforce. The fact is that in an all out war Iran will simply overwhelm and destroy the Zionist entity in a matter on hours. Keep in mind that Iran has access to long-range artillery with base bleed ammo from Syria as well which will turn all of occupied Palestine into an inferno for the Zionists. Ever wondered why the Zionist loudmouth cowards have merely been belching hollow threats since three decades?
Anon 6:51....The regime in Tehran knows a thing or two about disappearing.
We have the disappearing $18 Billion to Turkey back in 2009.
We have the disappearing $600 Billion during the Ahmedinejad period.
We have the disappearing $12 Billion from bank Markazi Iran.
We have the disappearing 50% of the Caspian sea reduced to 13%.
We have the disappearing or theft of natural gas by Qatar in Persian gulf.
We have the disappearing tankers full of oil being sold off by the IRGC bandits.
And then after robing the country blind the aghazadehs go and stash the stolen billions in Western bank accounts whilst cursing the West at the same time.One of Khamenei's tea boys has stashed £800 million alone.In fact these charlatans don't know when to stop "disappear" Iran's stolen money.
Most likely you stole those lollipops from Iranian children.
Anon 10:51 AM.....Silly boy when will you learn that it was your brothers and sisters the MEK that helped your lovey-doviey Islamists to gain power? The Islamic theocracy and the MEK are two sides of the same coin.They both are hate cults.
And don't be so naive to think the Islamic regime would get away by bombing Israeli civilian and military infrastructure.Israel might be small but their arsenal of nuclear and conventional weapons will more than make up for it.
Now have a lollipop.
What kind of drugs are you on bro? Iran's GDP in nominal terms in around $800 billion so how can the whole Gross Domestic Product simply disappear?. I understand that you self-loathers are prone to hyperbole and exaggeration but you seem to take the cake for nutters! Get some help my child.
"ignorant silly braggarts" being the hasbara activists here who are recruited to shill on the internet for the zionist regime, whose mighty IOF (israel occupation forces) can't even defeat small resistance forces like Hezbollah. Now they want to brag to Iran, a military force that supports as well as being far bigger and more capable than, those resistance forces. hasbara shills are a transparent joke!
keep trying to tell yourself that..... right up to when the lights start going out across the country and the smell of smoke and burning fills your nostrils.
Iran will push the bluff too far, just as Hezbollah did..... and while the head of Lebanon's government went to go on television, weeping, and begging for the bombs to stop.....will Khamenei do the same?
and for whom will he be crying, the innocent Iranians dead and wounded or the stinking regime he runs?
Keep trying to tell yourself more like, Anon 3:12 PM. That is all that hasbara activists can do. The zionist regime has had so many years to militarily attack Iran and still, it has not. All that zionists can do is talk of attacking.
Anonymous 3:12 PM, the zionist regime can't even defeat small resistance forces like Hezbollah or militarily attack Iran. Hezbollah and Iran remain. The hasbara shills commenting here are transparent.

Why dont you point them out now,dont keep us in suspence
AnonymousJune 28, 2013 at 3:12 PM
I dont recall Hassan Nasrallah going on tv "weeping, and begging for the bombs to stop" quite the opposite actually.The lebanese government and military may be weak and gutless but Hezbollah is not and neither is iran,the israelis found out that Hezbollah wasnt bluffing in 2006 and neither is iran today
No bragging involved as the Zionist entity strutting on deadbeat US taxpayers dollars is too below contempt even to compare to a 3000 year old illustrious civilization like Iran. The FACT remains that the Zionist entity occupying Palestine is smaller than metro-Tehran and is a ONE BOMB JOB. Even in an all out conventional war the Zionists will last merely a week as this time they will face a real army rather than unarmed Arab old men, women and children.
Iran with 80 million people and infinite resources will simply wear out the imported Zionists in a few weeks as most have foreign passports and will flee as the first Shahab blows the top of Azrieli Center Circular in Tel-Aviv and brings the whole house of purim down. In 2006, just facing a brigade of Hezbollah lions, ONE MILLION Zionists fled to Cyprus, Europe and US/Canada. Imagine when 200,000 missiles fall on a small built-up hovels of Ashdod, Tel-Aviv and Haifa not to mention Hezbollah artillery fire on Metulla and beyond. You hasbara creeps need to get your head out of the proverbial and smell reality than crappola.
What you silly hasbara buggers don't understand is that we Iranians are very smart people and know you Zionist braggarts inside out, so don't try to peddle hasbara canned propaganda on us. BTW, it was the Persian King Cyrus who freed your ilk from eternal slavery 2500 years ago. My sincere advice: stick to bashing unarmed Arab women and children with 21st century US weapons and squatting on Arab lands and DO NOT EVEN IMAGINE MESSING WITH IRAN.
There is no doubt the drugs that you're on is much more potent.
Hezbollah will be stuck in the quicksand that is Syria.
Anon 10:07 Cyrus the Great would be ashamed of the system of government that is in Iran.Someone like you should be writing highly of Mohammad or Omar who have given the type of system you have in Iran today.No one needs to mess with Iran because Iran is messed up already.
