As much as I agree that the F-35 is lame and gay and the F-5 is badass, the F-35 wrecks it no contest. Its a damn shame that modern weapons are all so much more boring than their predecessors.
If it is an Azarakhsh it's just a rebuilt US F-5E. The Saeqeh uses two vertical tail stabilizers and is also thought to be a rebuild according to wiki.
It'd be ironic if their decade-long atrocities against the Yemenites suddenly became untenable to the rest of the Islamic world now that the Houthis are at war with Israel
Ah, the trusty old A-10. When everything goes well, send in the expensive new shit. When you have to get dirty because things arent as planned, send in the A-10 to fix the issue.

The a-10 is the best plane we could ever have for the combat we currently face in the sandbox
But the upper brass really fucking hate it because it's not the shiny F-35
How on earth would small arms be in range before the f-35 opened fire? Only possibility is like a random surprise attack, which doesn’t happen in actual wartime
I can fix her anons, she's just too pretty for this fate
why are arabs so fucking retarded? did the mongols buckbreak them that hard?
What's wrong

Are these the old American built ones or the weird Iranian built ones?
Probably the older american ones? Either or, they came from Iran
I think Iranian

All F-5s are American built. Yemen used to operate a bunch, with Taiwanese pilots hilariously enough.
>All F-5s are American built
Not all of them, Iran managed to build a few F-5 with American parts
>Iran managed to build a few F-5 with American parts
"Built" them as in cannibalized a bunch of surplus ones or actually built them in a factory?
Build em
this is soviet export mig-28
No?
The joke
Your head
I forgot top gun
Can they make the engines?
Saudis have F-15. This thing will not be a problem, if the Saudis get off their fat useless asses and actually fight the Houthis.

If this thing downs an Israeli F-35, imagine the absolute level of seething we'll see.
I would probably kill myself.
On one hand, I’d be happy because F-5 bae did something noteworthy.
But on the other hand, it means I’m living in a universe where Pierre Sprey was right. And I don’t think I could do that.
This in full. Coming from another F-5 fan I don't ever want to see it happen.
What’s it armed with? Any A2A missiles?
20 mm (0.787 in) M39A2 Revolver cannon
Then it can’t down an f-35 in any combat scenario…
That's not true
F-35s are weak to small arms
What aircraft isnt
True
the A-10

I would laugh hysterically as Pierre Sprey rises from the grave to take his revenge on the MIC for doubting him.
