    Over on the What if Iran never had a revolution? thread Pioneer mentioned that at one point Iran was looking at buying a pair of Invincibles. If that is the case, then the 4 Kidd DDGs they cancelled would have likely been the AAW escorts for the carriers. Which got me wondering - what if, after...

    What was E-Systems doing on KC-135s for Iran?

    Flight, December 1979: http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1979/1979%20-%204616.html Sounds a little like the work that was performed to create '135Qs. Possibly linked to the proposed sale of F-12s to Iran? Alternatively, E-Systems did a lot of work on the RC- variants for the...

    Well, don't forget Iran... it's a well-known fact that some upgraded Arrows found their way to Iran in 1972. The Shah was exasperated by Soviet Mig-25RB overflying its country... Phantoms were not powerfull enough, F-14 and F-15 were prototypes five years from export... Iranian Arrows scared...
