The sanctions are US-initiated and limited to west banning any sales of weapons to you.
What has Russia or China got to do with it?
Can you be sure that Chinese even give a damn about US sanctions?
Well F-7s as per our Chinese and Pakistani posters are good enough for interception.
Besides, you are sanctioned from sales of equipment right? What's stopping you from cooperating with them? USSR couldn't sell us nuke ballistic submarines but that didn't stop them from cooperating with us on assisting development on Arihant. We were sanctioned by US even then for nuke tests.
Well, things have gone to a point of no return between you two. Stick to being supportive of Russians and try to get tech help from them.
It is very strange but though Iranians hate US, they also extremely love US products.
We also cant buy. Russia and china never sacrifice their relationship with US because of trading with iran. the benefit of being in relationship with USA is more than having with iran.
USA is really dogged about Iranian military trade. The late 80s and in early 90's iran ordered to Russia for many MiG-29. but under pressure from USA, Russia canceled it like what they did about s-300.
then Iran decided to buy Moldova's Mig-29s. but The USA bought all of them only to To prevent Iran from acquiring it.
after obama re elected Touts Toughest Iran Sanctions in History. you cant compare Iran with india about sanctions.
beside that, at that time, there were two super powers in the world. two blocks, but now there is only one super power in the world. maybe russia and china are against USA, but at the end they accept what the US say. russia and china approved sanctions against iran.do you forgot?
and as i said before, Russia even doesn't give us spare parts for Mig-29s and submarines. now you are talking about new fighters??
in according to our air force pilots and commanders, they think chines fighters are not good enough and it's better to use F5 upgraded instead of buying from china while nowadays they cant buy if they want.
nowadays there are whisper of Negotiations between Iran and USA.
If Iran had a good relationship with USA then If whole the world( including of EU,china,russia...) were saying Iran shouldn't have nuclear program but US supported us we could have even nuclear bomb and no one could does nothing against us.
Iran tried to resolve nuclear problem with EU and other countries in the world. but it got failed. then i think they finally realized that they should have talk with USA about that.
It is very strange but though Iranians hate US, they also extremely love US products.
Actually Iranians dont hate US.It's regime not people.
It's not like what people thinking about israel, many of them think the Palestine is not our problem and we should be Neutral and it doesn't mean they like israel. and many others are against israel.
but about US it's different. as i see most of people like USA and wanna have relationship with them.
and you right, they love US products.
