Iranian Defense Ministry: we have made significant progress in the negotiations on the acquisition of Su-30

Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehgan will discuss in Moscow the conditions for the supply of anti-aircraft systems and multi-purpose fighters Su-30, reports RIA News Journal of The National Interest.

“Minister Dehgan will discuss the purchase of Su-30 aircraft, which, according to the Ministry of Defense, are needed by the Iranian Air Force. We are well advanced in the negotiations, and I believe that the contract will be signed during the upcoming visit, ”the magazine quotes a representative of the Iranian military department.

Earlier, Dehgan on local television stressed that the leadership of the country "focuses on the modernization of the Air Force." At the same time, he drew attention to the Su-30 aircraft, without specifying which version of the military was interested.

"Perhaps Iran will need one of the advanced versions, similar to the planes available to India, Malaysia, Algeria and Russia," the newspaper notes.

According to the author, "Tehran can also make a choice in favor of Su-30М2 - buying an aircraft in this modification will be cheaper, which is probably a more reasonable decision, taking into account the economic situation in the country."

"It is quite possible that Iran will not limit itself to the purchase of weapons - Tehran is interested in concluding contracts for the transfer of licenses for the production of aircraft," he adds.

"The appearance of any version of the Su-30 in the air navy Iran will significantly increase the potential of the air forces, now consisting mostly of outdated models of American, Chinese and Russian production, ”the publication says.

According to the magazine, “the most modern aircraft in service with the Iranian air force today are the American fighter Grumman F-14 Tomcat (Grumman F-14 Tomcat) and the Soviet MiG-29. The rest of the fleet is made up of obsolete F-4 Phantom II (McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II), reworked by Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter (Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter / Tiger II) and F-6 and F-F planes 7 - models of the MiG-19 and MiG-21 ".

The Iranian military plans to purchase at least $ XNUMX billion worth of Russian military equipment and weapons, the Kommersant newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing its sources in the Russian system of military-technical cooperation (MTC).

Yes, Russian weapons are well-deserved

But in the case of Iran. agree, Iran has no choice. Either China or Russia, Iran will not have important things like Iran’s fighters or air defense in Western markets - they don’t buy from enemies. So we all remember that it is a dependency on those services. spare parts, repair and in the future also modernization. Buy from allies.

And Russia also has no choice, they will not sell because. which is profitable, but because Iran cannot be surrendered. And the Middle East will be entirely in the hands of the Saudis and Cathars - but most importantly, a "hole" will be formed - a hole for aggressors right in the Caspian Sea, in the heart of Eurasia and in Central Asia

Iran is still our good ally in Syria! And in the future I also hope (they have money and fighting spirit too)

[silver_roman]

it is rather a forced collaboration.
We have never been particularly friends with Iran, purely business and small moments of cooperation.
I wouldn’t trust such a rear. and we fought decently with them. besides the Persians do not praise us much. it is still a serious nation with its own identity, not a balmy endangered balts!

I live in Kiev, and believe me, the problem is not with Bandera. everything is done under the guise of all this. the ball is ruled by completely different individuals, and this is so ... to divert sights. here the most notorious "tolerasts" even had in mind that Bandera and everything connected with him.

Shah Reza Pahlavi was against transit. Iran was a neutral country.
In September 1941, after the occupation of Iran by British and Soviet troops and the abdication and exile of his father, Reza Pahlavi, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi was proclaimed Shahinshah of Iran and, together with the government, expressed his desire to cooperate with Great Britain and the USSR, having signed an alliance treaty with them in 1942. September 9, 1943 by his decree, the Shah declared war on Nazi Germany. In 1946, Soviet troops were withdrawn from Iran. The British left the country only in 1971. That’s what a wonderful and, most importantly, voluntary cooperation at gunpoint ... The British got Iranian oil, and the Soviet Union got the "corridor".
The USSR quite fruitfully collaborated with Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in ​​the 60-70s of the last century.

and against whom we helped to fight Iraq a couple of decades ago ????

And Baron Mannerheim was a lieutenant general of the Russian army. How did this help the Red Army to storm the "Mannerheim Line"? "Friendliness" in big politics is a very conditional thing. After the end of World War II, relations between Iran and the USSR were friendly. But Pehelevi came and deployed his Iran for the Americans. But Stalin planned to jointly produce oil and much more. But everything was decided by one palace coup.

Not your truth. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi has "ruled" Iran since 1942. In April 1951, the Shah appointed Mohammad Mossadegh, a pro-nationalization leader, as prime minister, and on May 1 signed a law nationalizing the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company after it was unanimously passed by the Majlis. After nationalization, oil production practically stopped due to the departure of British specialists and the oil embargo imposed by Britain. On July 16, 1952, after Mossadegh demanded emergency powers and the subordination of the army to him, the Shah dismissed him. This sparked a general strike and uprising in Tehran. On July 22, 1952, the Shah was forced to reappoint Mossadegh as prime minister.
In October 1952, the government of Mossadegh broke off relations with England. In February 1953, Mossadegh proposed that the Shah leave Iran, declaring that the monarch should reign, not rule. At the same time, the British managed to gain American support in the overthrow of Mossadegh by agreeing to share oil profits with them. The planned coup was called Operation Ajax. On August 16–18, the shah was in temporary exile in Baghdad (Iraq), and August 18–22 was in Rome (Italy). In August 1953, the military associated with the throne, led by General F. Zahedi, with Anglo-American support, carried out a coup and overthrew the government of the Mossadegh National Front. Since then, the entire power in the country has actually passed into the hands of the shah.

[maiman61]

We helped both Iraq and Iran! This is well known.

[silver_roman]

I don’t know anything about helping Iran in that war. Maybe it was, I won’t argue. Grandfather, an aviation major, was sent to Iraq where he stayed for more than a year.
But I know one thing for sure, the Iranians never considered us friends. Despite everything, I have a close friend - an Iranian. We studied together in aviation in Kiev. As he met, he immediately said: "We fought 3 times!"
Persians are the oldest nation with their strong genes and self-esteem.
I would even set the level with the Japanese in this regard. It’s just that the yapes are in such a way that they are not much shaken, although they also got it in full.

Shahinshah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi was born in 1919 and simply could not be a colonel in the Russian tsarist army. His father rose to the rank of General of the Persian Cossack Division. (The Persian Cossack brigade (Persian بریگاد قزاق) (reorganized into a division in 1916) is a cavalry unit created in Persia on the model of the Terek Cossack units and which existed from 1879 to 1920.)

[adept666]

I wouldn’t trust such a rear.

Iran is primarily a technological driver for us, it’s not in one place for us as an ally; we can dump anyone without any allies. Before Iran, there was Libya and there were many hopes for it, but Medved passed it (maybe there was no option to help, but nonetheless). Iran = a lot of oil - sanctions = a lot of money. Nobody will sell technology to them from the Obama gang in the near future, and we will. For their money, we will continue to develop our atom, microelectronics, military and civilian equipment, etc. while decreasing its own dependence on oil and gas. It sounds like a consumer, but to live with wolves in a forest is like a wolf howl, especially since someone wants to fuck something from our country all his life and it’s advisable to have some free time ... I think the time has come to change this. For too long, we have not declared our strategic interests. V.V. Putin.

[Fat]

I agree with you. But you shouldn't measure everything with money alone. They are trying hard to make Russia a "rogue state," which Iran has long been. For now, and probably for a long time, we will be on our way with them.

Cooperation with Iran in Russia is beneficial for many reasons. Not only because he is our ally in Syria. We can help Syria without Iran. We sell high-tech products to this country. From nuclear power plants to S-300. Now that sanctions have been lifted from Iran, the list of goods, including weapons, will be orders of magnitude larger, especially since the partner is completely solvent!

So why is it being discussed for 8 "lard" weapons on credit?

[sharp-lad]

The Iranians still cannot get to the earned money before, the West knows how to pull the "rubber", and earning new lards - it takes a lot of time, and they may have to defend themselves in the very near future.

[Nord2015]

Let them take it, and the more the better. And with this money you can invent something new. All the same, military equipment is a product with high added value, and not non-renewable hydrocarbons and raw materials. In addition, the supply of ammunition for these weapons will later go, which is also good.

[sevsor]

"East is a delicate matter" ... this was proved by our recent friends from Turkey ((

Why not? again, our "good neighbors" in the CIS, who look at your hair near Iran, think about it ... or else they’re sitting on shattered pieces of army owls ... flirting with mattresses, ,,,

[Vita vko]

Iran urgently needs to arm. This is the only powerful ally capable of really stabilizing the situation in the Middle East. More recently, Iraq and Iran were irreconcilable enemies, and now they are already part of the Syrian coalition with Russia.

[DimYang]

Opinions about Iran are different. But here it is made for me that not too Iran should be armed, I can smell inside them some kind of catch. Especially transfer technology. Their overly religious state is dangerous, because there are essentially two chapters. All this in the future can create problems, first of all, for us.

[DimYang]

That is nonsense. The Czech icon was noticed at home. Although I am in Belarus. It’s strange.

Since New Year, I’ll pop up under the EU, then under the mattress. Moderators! What's happening?

[Mavrikiy]

Well, what about the United States lifted sanctions, now Iran can think about life. What needs to be bought for her, from whom.
I understand Iran is not grateful. The USA lifted sanctions, and Iran buys weapons from the Russian Federation. Against whom is it interesting?
Air defense seems to be at first e, and the acquisition of anti-ship missiles also does not need to be postponed.

[mav1971]

And the catch is very unpleasant. Iran is not going to pay with money but obscure goods. Type of oil at the rate of 50 and above. And even more. Iran is going to force us on a loan for a period of 15-20 years. 20 years we will feed plants with carpets and pistachios?
Or tomatoes?
Well, that means that all virtual dollars will simply gobble up and put down the toilet.
And in cash, you could buy at least a dozen machines

Iranians express their opinion, and support the Syrians without looking back at the United States and its satellites. Here is a recent publication in the Iranian press:

"The UN Permanent Representative in Syria called the suffering of the people of the world the result of the policy of the West, primarily the United States.
As reported on Tuesday by the Syrian Al-Akhbariya TV channel, Bashar al-Jafari, at a UN Security Council meeting on support and respect for the functions of the UN Charter for maintaining peace and security in the world, said: “Representatives of the United States, Great Britain and France have brought suffering by supporting Israel from the outset and paving the way for its occupation in Arab countries, and vetoing the Zionist regime dozens of times. "
Syrian Permanent Representative to the UN called the creation of an effective international coalition within the framework of international norms and with the participation of the countries involved under the leadership of Syria the only effective way to fight terrorism.
Al-Jafari noted: "A number of UN member states in an attempt to justify their military intervention in Syria under the pretext of fighting the Daesh group without coordination with the Syrian government is actually violating the UN Charter and covering up the sponsors of terrorism."
Well, what is the physiognomy after that of the master of the world.
