Iran to buy 150 J-10

Didn’t see any threads on it, so here:

Personally I don’t think it’s a very good idea, air power is the West’s forte.
It’s not a field where Iran can hope to pose any threat, between the F-22 dominating the skies and cruise missiles/UCAVs bombing any air fields with impunity, the J-10s would quickly run out of places (from) where they can operate.
For day to day air force tasks (hunting UAVs), Iran’s aging aircraft inventory still does the trick.

Iran would be better off to invest in non-traditional forms of warfare, like cyberwarfare and scuds, that can do a lot more damage to the West and any ships trying to force open a naval blockade.
And yes nukes. No nuclear capable country has ever been invaded in all-out war.
