On what basis are you claiming Iran's submarines fall awfully short of international standards? Iran's Fateh submarine for example, despite being 600 ton is extremely well equipped and armed. As for air defence, Iran is one of the few nations that produces long range air defences. Fighter jets is the only area Iran has yet to fully master, everything else, from Missiles, UAVs, air defence and submarines, Iran is doing extremely well.
My dear friend, first of all I’m only drawing an honest comparison as per my knowledge so please don’t take it as an offence.
Ofcourse Iran is manufacturing everything on its own but it’s lagging behind in high end tech. Take airforce for example, you need effective and proven long range bvrs along with AESA radars as modern air battles are mostly In the bvr spectrum. Not to mention capable electronic warfare suites etc.
In terms of navy, the submarines Iran manufactures are for shallow waters. These days you need deep water submarines with AIP or nuclear. Similarly the surface vessels too need long range sams etc.
These are just a few examples.
Modern wars are fought through network centric warfare systems. Ahh I just don’t know how to explain it to you, too much details. So I mean to say that Iran is lagging behind in defence tech but since it’s developing is own weapon, it ll get there eventually. It will take a lot of time though considering the sanctions and everything.
Iran however, is a master of assymetric warfare, but that Ofcourse has its limits.
