[Hack-Hook]

how come they managed to multiply Iran 3-4 Millard dollar military budget into 17.5 milliard dollar ?

 

[Irajgholi]

Iran numbers don't add up. It's much lower than this.

Also Parliament added a tabsare to 1393 budget that in which in addition to defense budget every 3 months 75000 million rials(3 billion dollars) should be given to armed forces(which mean 12 billion dollar a year)

So this means 10+12=22

Those numbers are provided by sipri(sipri didn't published estimates on Iran for several years till 2012), but the article is about IISS estimates.

Sipri only counts Iran' Army HQ and MOD as military budget(which it estimates at 6.2 billion) but we have other military institution(like IRGC,Armed forces social security which pay armed force salaries, Law enforcement and etc as I provided some above) which Sipri doesn't take into consideration

For example 40 percent of Turkey military budget goes to salaries.

Iran should be using that money elsewhere, there will be no attack on Iran.

Iran should be using that money elsewhere, there will be no attack on Iran.

Although the threat of attack has been eliminated, almost I mean, but still dangers of a war exist. Considering geopolitical and political situation of Iran, we still have one of the lowest defense budgets in the world.

Just take Australia, Brazil, UAE and KSA as examples, who is going to attack them?

And also, the good thing is that almost all of the defense budget goes to domestic production, no matter how much distant we are from world's top arm producers, but it's still an advantage.

Yes that was going to be my question on this thread considering the lack of willing foreign suppliers Iran must spend most of its defense budget on local RndD correct?

Of course, Iran still can't buy arms from foreign countries, so it's an opportunity to boost domestic production much further.

 

[Irajgholi]

if only they removed mandatory military service, this huge useless overhead on iran's economy the problem would be solved.
its not economically efficient, u have to take into account the number of meals that has to be prepared for 1 million something conscript annually, cost of ammunitions that is being used, etc etc... if there was proper management even if we had to maintain a smaller but more capable force the problem would be solved without increase in budget.
