Iran Air Force By 1979 the air force, numbering close to 100,000 personnel, was by far the most advanced of the three services and among the most impressive air forces in the developing world. Reliable information on the air force after the Revolution was difficult to obtain, but it seems that by 1987 a fairly large number of aircraft had been cannibalized for spare parts. Finally, the air force's three SAM battalions and eight improved Hawk battalions were reorganized in the mid-1980s (in a project involving more than 1,800 missiles) into five squadrons that also contained Rapiers and Tigercats. www.globalsecurity.org /military/world/iran/airforce.htm   (2410 words)

Navy Matters Future Joint Combat Aircraft Baroness Symons, U.K. Minister of State for Defense Procurement, stated after the signing the MoU: "Our commitment today to the JSF program shows that we continue to consider the JSF...as the most cost-effective means to meet our requirements" for the British Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. One wing of two "dark blue" squadrons (to be numbered 800 and 801) will have a majority of Royal Navy personnel, while there will be a second wing of two "light blue" squadrons (No.1(F) and IV squadrons, with No. 3 squadron disbanding) with a manning balance in favour of the RAF. In early July 2005, an article by Janes Defence Weekly summarised the situation, stating that the UK is reviewing which variant of JSF will best meet its Joint Combat Aircraft requirement and that a decision will inform the CVF main investment decision due in early 2006. navy-matters.beedall.com /jca.htm   (12645 words)
