U.S. Centcom commander Gen. David Petraeus said last week that the United Arab Emirates, a key U.S. ally in the Persian Gulf, has the capability to overpower Iran’s Air Force.
“The Emirati Air Force itself could take out the entire Iranian Air Force, I believe, given that it’s got … somewhere around 70 Block 60 F-16 fighters, which are better than the U.S. F-16 fighters,” Petraeus said during remarks at a recent conference put on in Bahrain by the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
