Iran has reportedly purchased 100 aircraft that have the ability to refuel 6-8 warplanes simultaneously.
The purchase of 100 Russian IL78 MKI tanker aircraft that was placed with Moscow last year is in complete defiance of the terms of the nuclear agreement between the six world powers and Iran signed in Vienna earlier this month.

Oh no, who would have seen that coming!
They should have left Saadam Hussein alone.
Daniel when terrorist attack a country they don’t care who they kill.men women and children are killed.but when they hide among the people especially in schools hospitals mosk and in peoples houses then They are the cowards.Israel warns the people ahead of time so civilians won’t be in the crossfire but the Palestinian terrorists hide in the populace and that causes innocent people killed.Israel moves their army away from the civilians, they don’t hide amongst them.that aren’t cowards like the Palestinian terrorist. It’s sad when innocent people of any group are killed by war especially when terrorist hide amongst them.the reason for more casualties of Palestinian women and children is because of the cowardly act of the Palestinian terrorists. Plain and simple.
While I agree with you generally speaking, Iran and or North Korea can’t mount such an offense. It’s not even in the realm of possibilities. Russia could potentially but, would be foolish to think of it. The United states will really never have to fear a land invasion at all. Logistically we are so isolated, there ships if they could move troops/tanks etc would be sunk, planes shot down, etc. And if they actually made it hear there are over 300 million civilian owned firearms waiting for them… A fairly impossible task. We also have the ability to intercept most missles so, it’s highly unlikely.. What we are and always have been vulnerable to is unconventional small scale attacks.
I understand what you’re saying and you’re right many different ways. I don’t believe leave these countries would attack individually. I feel very strongly that

If Iran really did buy 100 tankers, it would have one tanker for every four aircraft— all aircraft, not just the ones that can be aerially refueled.
China tried to buy 34 IL-76s and 4 IL-78s for 1.5 billion, or about $40 million per aircraft. Russia refused to sell them for that price so China bought used aircraft from Ukraine.
At a fire-sale lowball “one time only!” price of $40 million each, 100 would cost $4 billion. That is almost half of Iran’s entire military budget for a single year. And that’s low. The tankers cost way more than the transport versions of the “IL-76 family”.
These tanker planes can simultaneously refuel six to eight warplanes
Screw wikipedia, all you have to do is google a picture of the airplane to see that it can only refuel three, not six to eight. (4 if on the ground).
With a crew of six and 100 aircraft they would have more personnel in their tankers than their fighters!
India, with about 1000 combat aircraft has 7 tankers. Pakistan, with about 500 combat aircraft has 4.
But Iran, with 400 combat aircraft needs 100?”
