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. The fact that they wrote in 2001 that the Su-25 is in service is already a very good confirmation for this: the plane is in service only since earlier this year. That they say the Su-27s is not operated by Syria was probably a mistake of a sort. Also, I was disturbed by Tom Cooper's comments about not trusting aviation reference books since he, himself, is the co-author of two on Iranian aircraft. A bit hypocritical Tom? You should have just said to properly make the distinction between aircraft reference books that are to be used as guides and serious authoritative books like Jane's to settle disputes. Well, that's actually exactly what I said (minus that about Jane's: as said above, they're never correct when it comes to Iran). I guess that you should have read the post in question more carefully, instead just the line that informed you, "...that Tom Cooper is .now stating that they are all wrong about Iran and Syria..." Tom Cooper Co-Author: Iran-Iraq War in the Air, 1980-1988: http://www.acig.org/pg1/content.php and, Iranian F-4 Phantom II Units in Combat: http://www.osprey-publishing.co.uk/t...hp/title=S6585 |
