Iran relies on Kharg island for its oil exports. Today we fly 1,000 miles from Israel to the Persian Gulf to strike the island.

Israel doesn't have AGM-88G in real life, and most of their F-35s were destroyed in Iran's strike anyway.
The video we saw lacked realism for several key reasons:
1. The Iranian pilots were AI-controlled, while the Israeli pilots were humans, which undoubtedly influenced the outcome.
2. It's highly probable that Iran possesses more than just two S-400 sites and has additional SAMs that could significantly alter the scenario.
3. The Iranian Air Force operates a diverse range of aircraft, not limited to 6 Mig 29 and 6 F-14s, which should be considered in any realistic assessment.
4. Considering the geopolitical dynamics, it is improbable that Saudi Arabia would permit Israel to utilize its airspace.
In my opinion, Iran possesses a substantial capability to defend itself.

Might this provoke the ayatollahs to set off a regional nuclear war? And how many virgins will it take to reward the male civilian population of Iran?
Great video Cap
Great video! Take care of yourself though, get some rest.
4:00 The island is not heavily defended because they are relying on their shore-based anti-ship missiles, and their fleets of speedboats (kamikaze and mine-dropping), plus any non-conventional aircraft to do the damage before the fighting hits land. They don't have German-style bunkeritis.
Poor Dark, at least he took it in stride.
Im thinking Saudi would never allow this strike force transiting their sovereign country.IMHO
Is Simba the Grim Reaper that has real-life military aviation experience?
Simba, I enjoyed watching you employ your dogfighting and bombing skills in this vid. 💯
You need to also consider the fact that israel has air launched balistic missiles in service, which can also be used
Great fun as always.
In the real case though, I just can't see Jordan or Saudi Arabia helping Israel.
Yes, they're in a tacit agreement against Iran, but they're not friends, and both countries — like every Arab country — are extremely concerned with loss of face. Domestically, and on Al Jazeera, they do a tough talk about the nasty Israelis.
Also, they don't want to be attacked by Iranian missiles or terrorist proxies.
And I think if Israel did try it on, well, it could be a very bad day. Only one thing has to go wrong in a very complex plan.
I think Israel's attack may come down to cyber warfare (especially against infrastructure), assassinations and missile strikes.
3:45 iran has decent air defense, atleast for a 3rd world country but most of it is around Tehran with only a few SA-6, HAWK and nerfed SA-5 sites and the occasional S-300 deployment
Great vid as always.
Since I watched this however the following has happened.
(1) The Gulf States have informed Israel they cannot overfly their airspace to attack Iran.
(2) Russia is supplying Iran with real time Satellite data (saw a Russian sat pic of US tanker aircraft in Qatar this morning) so there will be no element of surprise.
(3) Iraq has warned the US that if Israel uses its airspace then Shia groups plan to launch massive localised attacks to destroy every US base in the country.
Seems the difficulty level in terms of striking Iran has just gone up significantly.
Then there is possibility that by the time the Israeli planes return they won't have a base left to land at. Iran has said the moment any Israel aircraft fires anything at them they will launch a decapitation strike at Israel using thousands of BM.
Not passing comment on Iran's ability to suceed, but if Israel does attack then we probably are in a full blown ME war.
Ah, yes! The secret VTOL F16
Why the Island is so poorly defended? Really? Do you no know that Iranian Princes must live in fine palaces while there is not enough to go around to provide 1st world housing for the majority of their citizens? The money for a "good" life has to be taken somewhere.
8:23 F35 helmets are 400000 euros partly because the integrated cameras on the F35 allow a 360 degrees view for the pilot. When for example the pilot looks back, the part of the plane that obstructs his view, will be filled in with a video image that is actually provided by a camera mounted on the plane, feeding the image to the helmet screen. Very sophisticated system allowing for crazy SA
I'd rather you just whisper into the mic if your voice is doing that bad, rather than use an AI voice over to do it… unless, of course, you just can't speak at all.
Cap, you are a legend, and I wish you good health and hope you continue providing great Content. Matrix is brilliant, clear and knowledgable, a perfect team.
Flying like the Canada Geese and saving fuel lol
Anyone that supports them are either mis-informed idiots or psychopaths.
Now do the one where they swap out conventional weapons for the other kind.
F16 in Israeli camo and markings blowing up oil refineries? Is one of you gonna land and pick up your dad?
4 PLANES LOST AND PILOTS. THIS MISSION IS NOT A SUCCESS !!
Excellent Mission; thank you!
Kharg is Iran's only oil termnal, at Iran-Iraq era! not today, now it's one of the sevral terminals not the only one! also Iran made pipeline to Oman sea to pass strate of hormooz and established oil terminal far away Kharg Islnad, also Kharg is highly important and secure area, therefore there is no info on public about how it defends. also Iran have capability to detect any incoming strike as soon planse takeoff from source and airforce and airdefence are ready to react this days not when they see missile incoming!
Some say Dark is still out there over the Iranian coastline in his slick F-16
Do more Israel Iran videos.
Can Iran defend from an Israeli attack?
Why do Israel have F35's. Let them fight a war with their own gear and see how they get on with it. Bog standard regional agitators without gross international support. Basically a posh Serbia
you might need more sun light because you are always sick, got a cough or unwell…lol
Hey Cap,
In the UA conflict…
RU gets its critical military supplies from North Korea…
Can UA w/ F16 (and/or gripen etc.) destroy the critical railroad bridges that supply RU from North Korea…
If not, what would it take? What does UA need to be given to have this strike succeed?
To extend your voice, no caffeine lots of fluids and honey and hydrating mouthwash no alcohol we want you to stay voicing these great videos!
The island needed some short/medium range SAMs like Manpads, Tor-M1 and Iranian BUKs to make it more challenging
