Official: Iran wants to buy helicopters and fighters from Russia

[PradoTLC]

I suggest Iran consider cooperating with Pakistan to upgrade and manufacture JF17, purchase and introduce JF17 production line.
On the one hand, JF17 can replace about 250 F1, F4, F5, F6 and F7 fighters.
On the one hand, strengthen diplomatic relations with Pakistan through cooperation. A stable and reliable fighter production line can also be obtained.
Iran can purchase Su30SM2 to replace 55 F14 and form a Russian fighter team with 30 MiG29A& 55 Su30SM2.
Iran should also consider investing in 5G fighter project. It is suggested to consider joining AZM projects, or J31.
It is not appropriate to rely on only one country's fighters. Iran should completely abandon Western fighters and obtain fighters from Russia and China at the same time, and invest in their own fighter production and research.
Iran can even consider cooperating with Pakistan to produce SD10 and PL15E.

Iran has edgo issues with Pakistan.. it wouldnt buy JF-17

why u dreaming lol iran never go after such low class fighter like jf17 even if we have no other option
we have ourslf our own fighter jet and it is better than jf 17

yes a great jet.. that no body on this planet (or in his right mind ) wants to buy.

TEHRAN, ($1=42,195.00 Iranian Rials) – According to Sardar Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, Iran intends to purchase helicopters and fighter jets from Russia, which could significantly change the balance of the air force in the region in favor of Tehran, learned BulgarianMilitary.com, citing the Iranian news agency Tasnim.

• Iran confirms possible purchase of Russian S-400, Su-35 and Su-57
• Iran continues to arm its forces – IRGC will receive Fotros strategic UAVs
• Top 5 best Russian fighter jets – 4++ and 5th generations
• Top 5 best military attack helicopters in service in the world

Major General Mohammad Bagheri is on an official visit to Moscow, and Tasnim reports that on October 18, together with his Russian counterpart, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov, they discussed directly the purchase of Russian weapons systems – helicopters, fighters, training planes, etc.

Iran and Russia have a history of arms markets, with Tehran spending $ 10 billion on MiG-29, Sukhoi-24, and Kilo-class submarines in the early 1970s. Iran later bought radar systems, defense systems, and military transport trucks. In 2015, information emerged, from Sorena Satari, scientific vice president, that Iran has an interest in buying Su-30 fighters from Russia.

A year later, then-Defense Minister Sardar Dehgan said that during a visit to Moscow, the purchase of a Sukhoi 30SM fighter and a T-90 tank would be discussed.

In the same year, Ali Akbar Velaati, an international adviser to the supreme leader of the revolution, said in a report on his visit to Moscow that Russia was ready to sell us the Sukhoi 30 fighter jet.

The Sukhoi 30 multi-role fighter is a heavily upgraded version of the Russian Sukhoi 27 aircraft. About 12 models of the Sukhoi 30 have been built and are serving in the armies of 10 other countries, in addition to the Russian Air Force. Currently, based on the available information, MK, M2, and SM models of this fighter are being produced in Russia. Of course, the MKI model of this fighter is specifically designed for the Indian Air Force.

Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported that on October 18, the Iranian and Russian military discussed the possibility of Tehran acquiring Russia’s target Su-35 fighter jet. Later, Amir Rouhani, chief executive of the Iranian helicopter maintenance and refurbishment company, also told the Tasnim news agency that Iran should become a regional center for repairing eastern helicopters. This information comes against the background of claims by some Iranian media that Tehran wants to buy Mill 28 helicopters, as well as Yak series training aircraft.

Military experts believe that the purchase of air combat equipment, even in an environment where most Arab countries in the Persian Gulf equip their fleets, could to some extent shift the balance of the air force in favor of Iran.

Iran’s arms sanctions were lifted on October 18, 2020, following UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which allows Iran access to modern military equipment.

Russian media speculate that Iran may focus on buying Su-57 fighters, and even Su-75s. Some Russian sources also say that Tehran has the appetite to acquire the Paintsir-C1 mobile air defense system, the S-400 air defense system, and Russia’s latest T14-Armata battle tank. However, there is no official information from the Iranian media about the above-mentioned weapon systems.

With these interpretations, we have to wait for future orders and see if Iran intends to buy other equipment from Russia in addition to fighter jets and helicopters.

Washington has tried to prevent such a development
As early as 2020, during the Donald Trump administration, Washington was ready to take all measures to prevent Tehran from acquiring Russian or Chinese armored vehicles after the end of the arms embargo.

Similar intentions were announced by then-US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo in an interview with journalist Lars Larson. Speaking to the Iranian authorities, Pompeo noted that the administration of US President Donald Trump “we will do everything possible to make sure that they cannot buy tanks and armored vehicles from Russia or China.”

The United States had hoped that the UN Security Council would be able to persuade China and Russia not to change the situation regarding Iran, but this did not happen. Then the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote on his Twitter page that the United States is seeking to extend the arms embargo on Iran while they export weapons around the world.

According to Zarif, “The United States has long been a world leader in military spending, arms sales, and a major instigator of military conflict.”

Iran during the arms embargo
We cannot ignore the fact that the imposed military embargo on Iran has left its positive imprint on the military industry in the country. Iran was forced to develop its military industry to new levels, and many military experts believe they have achieved relatively excellent results.

Tehran produces various cruise missiles for its needs. In the field of aviation and modern technology, Tehran produces at least two types of drones, the most notable of which is the strategic and attacking drone Fotros.

In 2019 the Islamic country introduced to the world its latest anti-aircraft missile system Khordad 15. Its performance is not as impressive as in Western countries or the Russian S-400, but according to unofficial information, one system detects five targets, and the system itself is deployed in combat standby for no more than five minutes.

Not to be overlooked is the fact that Iran has recently sold its anti-aircraft missile systems to Syria. To some extent, Iran has also developed its military genius about armored vehicles. At this stage does not produce such, but produces better armor for Russian tanks T-72 and T-90. The fact is that it sells such refurbished Russian tanks in Africa.

This will be a step in the right direction. Iran certainly does need to structure it's military with modern combat hardware and Russia has it all to sell to Iran.

Iran's focus should be to incrementally buy fighter jets, airborne radars and SAMs. And although new hardware will certainly boost Iran's military capabilities, the real boost will come once Iran has absorbed the new tech and fully integrated it into its military.

It has always been my dream to see Iran and Pakistan to work together in building trust, building a deep rooted relationship on the grounds of not only being neighbors, but also being Muslim nations. With the western military withdrawal from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran have a golden opportunity to establish lasting peace in Afghanistan.

It would be eye watering to see Su-35/MiG-35 of IRIAF, JF-17/J-10C of PAF, J-20/J-16 of PLAAF & Su-57/Su-75 of RUAF holding joint military drills every year under the auspices of SCO!!

First of all, not sure what you are babbeling there. I'm a German, I'm pretty well aware, who I am, what I can and what not. In real life I have a life but you seem more like an immature child, at best a fan boy overhyped by blinded nationalism and stupid ideas. So instead of insulting others with childish comment, go on and argue, explain, why you tiny fighter should be better than the JF-17? Please argue with technical data and then I start taking you seriously.

By the way since you asked me to find myself and stop hiding behind a false flag, this is my work besides being responsible for China PLAAF news for Jane's.

Iran can even consider cooperating with Pakistan to produce SD10 and PL15E.

If Pakistan is smart they will stay away from any military deal with Iran. It will only bring trouble, further post Shah Iran has betrayed Pakistan on numerous occasions, sharing anything of significance seems not an option for Pakistan.
