David,

I do not consider any of Jane's publications as authoritative on the topic
of Iran: they are full of terrible mistakes, and most of their (and most of
those published elsewhere) articles and publications to the topic of Iran -
actually all of them - are completely wrong.

Well, I don't see a "Tom Cooper's All the World's Aircraft 2003/2004"
edition anywhere. I'd like to know what your credentials are to make
such assertations?

A co-author of two books on Iranian a/c doesn't mean **** compared to
Jane's excellent reputation as the world's authority on aircraft.

Until you can prove otherwise, your comments make you sound like the
Al Gore of RAM.
