Iranians are also nationalistic, they just need guidance. And what do you know about East Asian ? Ever heard of Confucius? If Ataturk never existed, what are the chance of Turkey being secular? Erdogon is the representative of most Turks and you know it!

It is quite ironic that no one mentions the role of the USAF/CIA RQ-170 drone in the development of this "possible" Fighter.

The Y-20 is not designed as a C-17 to begin with. Its size is only about 80% of that of the C-17. With China's domestic WS-20 high-bypass turbofan engine, the air lifter is able to carry 66 tons and fly 4400 km without in-flight refueling. The maximum take-of weight is 220+ tons. In comparison...

@Solomon2 I think the revolution of 79 was an good thing. It gave Iranians are more secular stance on issues that were considered taboo. It is an form of enlightenment under the disguise of an theocracy. A strange phonimium for an near-eastern nation. The Turks were given secularism by an plate...

@Azazel Why was the Norwegen P-3 Orion collecting data on the Aircraft Carrier?

@Era_293 Wow! Great statement you made there! Iran, like China, suffered alot in the 19/20th centur due to western powers. But I do hope the future is bright for your nation.

@conworldus Your correct, US semiconducters are found in just about every electronic gadget in the world. IBM, Microsoft, Texas Electronics etc still dominate microchip technology. However, Chinese hardware and software parts were discovered in dozens on USAF F-16 Block 30/52 planes.

Nice missile silos and naval design. What are the military specifications? Can it launch CM and SRBM aswell as ICBMs?

Please stay on topic! Japan had conservative elements but the reformist prevailed! The 19th century is different to the 20th century. Religion did not have such an direct impact as social darwinism was prelivent in the expansion of the west. Mordenize or suffer. Thats why Korea and China failed...

If Iran modernized then there would be no Russo-Japanese war but Russo-Iran war. Tehran may be the heart of an new Persian empire~!

That is because the Japanese economy is debt ridden in it's public expenditures. 200% of it's total GDP

You can't Ignore Iran. When reformist take over Tehran and sanctions are stopped, Iran will become an fully industrialized nation and the most powerful nation in the Near East.

@Chinese-Dragon We should do more to assist our oldest allie in the western hemisphere. Sino-Iran relationship is over 2, 000 years. First established in the Han Dynasty and Parthian era.

Are Iranians proud of their heritage and history?

Unfourtantly, gambit is correct about the importance of airbornce troops in combat. Look at the Panama offensive in 1989.

The MLV weapon can help reseachers in the General staff find an solution in interception Ballestic Missiles with multiple launch viechles and payloads.

They should now focus on Electronic warfare on military equiptments like SAM sites. The IDF uses EW for most of their operations against the arab armies.

@Surenas I quite like discussing History ;-)

That is an common misconception. People tend to think N.Indians are of Cacausian stock because they are lighter than there southern counterpart. The Iranic stock stops at the Indus valley region because of heavy inmixing, just like in the tarim basin. Modern Iranians can trace their roots to the...
