Why Iran doesn't hire an Indian or a Pakistani or Chinese guy to steal their fighter jets blueprints, i mean that airforce problem is persisting for decades, why not pay an Indian engineer or a Chinese engineer and ask him to steal blueprints for WS-15, RD-33 and AL-31 so no need to force with Russia or China proposing Iran only old fighters such as the J-10A
If the Indian guy succeed, this would allow Iran to build their own Su-30 and make modifications on it without Russia being able to say a word, if he can steal every blueprints that he could, Iran would be able to make:
- SU-30 (just change its name to something else like Kowsar-200)
- Mirage 2000 (again just change all the names)
- Tejas
If the Pakistani performs well and gets us JF17 Block 3 blueprints
-J-10C parts
And the Chinese being the most crucial, he could get us
- J-10/16/20/31 and PL-15, PL-21 blueprints and parts smuggled with corrupted people inside Pakistan and China to deliver them to us
Why just Iran don't do that, pay them like 2million$ each who would refuse such an amount for doing that
