S-400 and other weapons: how Russia can help Iran

100

The other day, the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry said that after the lifting of the five-year arms embargo of the UN Security Council, negotiations could begin on the supply of arms and military equipment to Iran. Although the United States has already announced its intention to extend the embargo. But what is Russian weapon would help the Iranian authorities protect the country from numerous risks?

Air defense and coastal defense


One of the most important areas in the military sphere that Iran needs to develop in order to protect itself as much as possible is air defense and missile defense. Iran now has several important problems in the field of air defense.



Firstly, a significant part of the air defense system was purchased from various suppliers during the Cold War and is now simply outdated. In the S-200 divisions of 6 launchers in the ranks of 1-2.

Secondly, Iran has few modern air defense systems. So, the most powerful are the S-300PMU-2 “Favorite”. In 2016, Iran purchased 4 divisions of these air defense systems from Russia. But to protect with their help the entire rather large territory of the country is impossible. Therefore, the S-300PMU-2 air defense system and the Tor-M1 air defense system are used to cover nuclear facilities.

Thirdly, Iranian-made air defense systems are not yet produced in sufficient quantities. These problems, of course, do not detract from the fact that Iran has one of the most developed air defense systems not only in the Middle East, but also in the world. But in any case, it is necessary to modernize and develop this system.


Thus, Iran needs modern anti-aircraft missile systems of the S-400 level. Moreover, Russia delivered the S-400 to Iran’s long-standing rival, Turkey. It’s another matter that Israel will very seriously object to the supply of S-400 to Iran, with which Moscow also has good relations. But in Tehran, of course, in any case they will want to acquire the S-400.

Coastal defense is another important area for Iran. The fact is that the United States and its allies, including Saudi Arabia, threaten Iran, primarily from the south - from the Persian Gulf. In the event of a conflict, the enemy will begin to strike on the Iranian coast.

Now Iran, which does not have modern means of coastal defense, is protecting its sea borders with the help of a large number of sea mines. But the power of the Iranian coastal defense can increase significantly if the country, after the embargo is completed, manages to acquire Russian Bastion coastal missile systems that will help cover the Iranian coast.

Fleet: which planes will help Iran


According to many military experts, Iran will certainly pay attention to the modernization of its air force’s fleet. After all, the Air Force is one of the weaknesses in the defense system of the Islamic republic. This circumstance is connected, first of all, with the obsolescence of aircraft.

If we talk about airplanes that could significantly change the face of the modern Iranian Air Force, then this is, of course, the 4 ++ MiG-35 generation fighter, the Su-30SM heavy fighter, and the Su-57 fighter in its export version. However, if we talk about the acquisition of the Su-57, then everything will rest, of course, on the financial issue.

As for the Su-30SM or Su-35, if such aircraft appear in the Iranian Air Force, the latter will gain advantages over almost all other countries in the region, since the aircraft in many respects surpasses the fighters in service with potential opponents of Iran in the Middle East - Saudi Arabia and Israel. If Tehran has enough money for the Su-57, then it will surely ensure full air superiority over all enemy vehicles, with the exception of a small number of American F-22 Raptor located in the Persian Gulf.

Tanks for ground forces and submarines for the fleet


Iran, like other countries in the Near and Middle East, has always paid great attention to the development of ground forces, in the first place - to building up tank relics. Recall that now the basis of the tank forces of Iran are Russian T-72 tanks, but the country's authorities understand the need for further modernization of the fleet of armored vehicles. The most likely candidate for the purchase is the Russian T-90S tank. In Iran, they have long been interested in them, noting the good combat capabilities of the tank and its low cost compared to other analogues.

However, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces of Iran, General Kiomars Kheidari, speaking about the possible prospects of acquiring Russian T-90 tanks, noted that Iran was interested not only in buying Russian-made tanks, but also in getting their production technologies in order to arrange the assembly of equipment already at Iranian enterprises.

In addition to these weapons, it is possible that Iran will want to acquire diesel-electric submarines from Russia. It is unlikely that Russia will deliver nuclear-powered submarines to Iran, as evidenced by the plans repeatedly repeatedly voiced by the Iranian authorities to build their own Iranian nuclear submarines. Now in service with the Iranian underwater fleet stand, in particular, and submarines of the class "Kilo", produced in the Soviet Union.

Thus, if the embargo that expires in October 2020 is lifted, Iran will be able to acquire Russian weapons. There is no doubt that some contracts will be concluded shortly after the end of the embargo, and some will cause fierce opposition from regional opponents of Iran. But in this case, it is unlikely that Russia will give up its interests - both financial and military-political. Although there have been precedents in relations with the same Iran. And the United States and Israel will do everything to extend the embargo. Moreover, in the case of possible intentions on the S-400, the emphasis will be placed on the case of an Iranian attack on a Ukrainian airliner.

        And what count them then? Russia is all in sanctions (only foreign accounts should be blocked), so is Iran .. From the United States, Russia tried to flirt after the collapse of the USSR and we all know what happened, the NATO bases around us were almost drowned in blood ....

        And what's so complicated?
        - The United States imposed sanctions against Russia.
        - The United States imposed sanctions against Iran.
        - Iran needs to rearm the army.
        - Russia has something to rearm the Iranian army.
        - Russia needs markets for the defense industry.
        - Iran is interested in Russia, as a member of the UN Security Council, for non-extension of US sanctions under the auspices of the UN.
        - Russia is interested in lifting sanctions for the supply of large quantities of weapons.
        - If Russia does not block US initiatives on Iran, China will do it, and he will carry out all the necessary supplies. It’s good for yourself. Let the quality be worse, but in all the necessary assortment.

        Well, what's the choice?
        And what is its complexity?
        Sanctions from Russia will not be lifted anyway.
        And from the new it’s neither hot nor cold - it’s usual.
        And Iran, among other things, is waiting for deliveries of Russian (in Russian configuration) aircraft MS-21 and Sukhoi-Superjet-100 in a total of 300 - 350 pieces.
        Russia may lose contracts worth tens of billions of dollars. ( fellow ), if he gives up his interests. And in case of refusal from them, he will not receive ANYTHING. Yes
        Therefore, I repeat the question:
        - So, is this choice so complicated? wink

        Russia and Iran signed a contract for the supply of S-300 worth about $ 900 million in 2007. However, with the adoption on June 9, 2010 by the UN Security Council of a resolution on Iran, which imposed a ban on the transfer of modern weapons to it, military-technical cooperation between Russia and Iran began to curtail. In April 2015, after some progress in the process of negotiations on the nuclear issue between Iran and the "six" international mediators, Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted the embargo on the supply of the S-300 complex to Iran.

            Iran has a difficult financial situation and this can be used. Tehran can make an offer that is hard to refuse.

Due to the lack of money and the difficult economic situation in the country, Iran may agree with China on the supply of arms in exchange for oil.

If Tehran has enough money for the Su-57, then it will surely ensure full air superiority over all enemy vehicles, with the exception of a small number of American F-22 Raptor located in the Persian Gulf.

The article is easy to clone - in the text, replacing the word "Iran" with the name of any country with an army in need of modernization, as well as weapons of this country for the corresponding nomenclature of the latest weapons of the Russian Federation specified in the text .. In fact, just a listing of worthy new products of our military-industrial complex .. One of the most uninteresting articles by this author ..

    But what Russian weapons would help the Iranian authorities protect the country from numerous risks?

    In order to shield from countless risks - it will take trillions of dollars and decades in time.

    Thirdly, Iranian-made air defense systems are not yet produced in sufficient quantities. These problems, of course, do not detract from the fact that Iran has one of the most developed air defense systems not only in the Middle East, but also in the world.

    Something with the logic of the author is not quite. That is not produced in sufficient quantities, then one of the most advanced air defense systems. Iran's air defense is a "hodgepodge" of dozens of different complexes. Moreover, long-range, such as S-300 or S-200, there are generally about 45 launchers. Medium range - one and a half hundred American Hawks and half a hundred of our ancient S-75. Near radius - 2,5 hundred French "Crotals", 3 dozen of our "Thors", about the same number of "Armor", about 2-3 dozen "Rapier". There are not so many new Iranian ones, compared to the total number of air defense systems. With such a "zoo" one cannot say that one of the most developed air defense systems not only in the Middle East, but also in the world

    If we talk about airplanes that could significantly change the face of the modern Iranian Air Force, then this is, of course, the 4 ++ MiG-35 generation fighter, the Su-30SM heavy fighter, and the Su-57 fighter in its export version. However, if we talk about the acquisition of the Su-57, then everything will rest, of course, on the financial issue.

    As for the Su-30SM or Su-35, if such aircraft appear in the Iranian Air Force, the latter will gain advantages over almost all other countries in the region, since the aircraft in many respects surpasses the fighters in service with potential opponents of Iran in the Middle East - Saudi Arabia and Israel. If Tehran has enough money for the Su-57, then it will surely ensure full air superiority over all enemy vehicles, with the exception of a small number of American F-22 Raptor located in the Persian Gulf.

    A masterpiece. And in order to achieve at least parity, you must have at least an equal number. And so the phrase that having received the SU-30SM or SU-35 Iran will receive an advantage over all countries of the region is a masterpiece !!!
    Saudi Arabia has about 215 F-15s of various modifications, about 71 Typhoons and about 60-65 Tornadoes (we will not count). How many SU-30 and SU-35 should Iran have in order to have an advantage over Saudi Arabia? I'm not talking about Israel now. Crackling in its purest form

    Coastal defense is another important area for Iran. The fact is that the United States and its allies, including Saudi Arabia, threaten Iran, primarily from the south - from the Persian Gulf. In the event of a conflict, the enemy will begin to strike on the Iranian coast.

    Now Iran, which does not have modern means of coastal defense, is protecting its sea borders with the help of a large number of sea mines. But the power of the Iranian coastal defense can increase significantly if the country, after the embargo is completed, manages to acquire Russian Bastion coastal missile systems that will help cover the Iranian coast.

    Well, of course, without "Bastions" - nowhere. The fact that Iran has a large number of anti-ship missiles is probably unknown to the author. Starting from mobile complexes disguised as civilian trucks and ending with high-speed mini-boats with 1-2 anti-ship missiles. And Iran, according to the author, has nothing but mines ...

    Recall that now the basis of the tank forces of Iran are Russian T-72 tanks,

    Yes, with arithmetic, the author is also not very. According to the latest directory, Iran has about 1500 tanks, of which only 480 are T-72. Is this the foundation ??

      Well, let's calculate - Iran was asked to sell the S-400, the Russian Federation wrapped up (Russia refused to supply S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran. The reason, according to the agency, is the Kremlin’s reluctance to “aggravate the situation in the Middle East); They asked for the purchase of Su-35 and Su-30 (Russia refused to request Iran to supply a total of 24 Su-35 fighters (18 units) and Su-30SM (six units). Instead, Iran was asked to purchase an unknown number of Su-27SM3 fighters, what Iran refused); Further, Iran wanted to buy superjets, but (US authorities refused to authorize the sale of Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft to Iran, because American components are used in the production of the liner.)

    all this "modern" rubbish will not help Iran. Give / sell him Yao and then it will be a really effective defense weapon for Iran. Everything else is about nothing. Israel in Syria has demonstrated how it successfully bypasses all these s300 / 400 complexes. And this is a problem of ALL defensive systems. The initiative always belongs to the attacking side. And the purchase by Iran of 20-30 airplanes of the su35 type (it is not yet known what they are in real air defense systems in fact) will not make Iran a strong air power. No one in his right mind is a land operation. will carry out. And modern tanks therefore did not fall into Iran. There will be enough of those masses of infantry (the Yemeni rebels, with the support of Iran, demonstrated their ability to fight literally with Berdanks) and without heavy equipment, etc., which is. And this is the strength of the Iranian Armed Forces. .They are not afraid of losses and their strength in close combat.

    First things first, Iran does not have that much money. The main source of income, like ours, is the export of hydrocarbons, and Iran is under sanctions, plus it simultaneously wages three wars, which also diverts significant funds. And finally, Iran’s main trading partner is China.
    China is able to offer Iran a multi-role fighter built on the basis of our Su-27, but with more advanced avionics and S-300 level air defense systems, and much more weapons as counter deliveries. It will be more difficult for us in this case, but we are acting together in Syria, but nothing more. The attitude of the Iranians towards us is twofold, they know the value of our leadership and its word, the ayatollahs do not watch our zomboyaschik day and night to have the opposite opinion and be blind.
    MiG-35, how many of them can we offer and deliver to Iran, when and in what timeframe? ... Su-30SM, Su-34 or Su-35S, cousins ​​of our leadership from a small, but very proud state in the Middle East. Sukhoi's planes have a range and the ability to not just fight against Israeli aviation, but also in which case, strike at targets in Israel "from Lebanese airspace." Moreover, there is always the possibility of Iran creating atomic weapons, both warheads for its missiles and aerial bombs, in the latter case, the Su-30SM and Su-34 planes can be its carriers - Israel's nightmare.
    So do not flatter yourself and Iran has little money, and we have not so many chances. Maybe we’ll sell something, but not in quantities to perceive Iran as a serious buyer with a great prospect.
    And the article ... well, I also wanted to - I write wink "paper will endure everything."
