I also want to add that this approach might not make all that much sense depending on the perspective you're coming in with. Iranian military is centered around a hybrid of conventional/non-conventional asymmetric warfare. Iran isn't fighting jet-for-jet, tank-for-tank, ship-for-ship.

The strategy makes perfect sense given the massive ballistic missile/drone/cruise missile umbrella most relevant targets Iran will be destroying fall under. Moreover, it's the leading strategy Iran intends on employing once any hostility erupts. Iran has a doctrine centered around the extensive...

lol, there's a litany of reasons as to why bro. - Money - Political reasons (this is the most important one) - Technical reasons - Time - Economic reasons (possible sanctions imposed for transfer of advanced weaponry to Iran) I suspect Iran is indeed trying to secure deals for big-ticket items...

Iran got their pound of flesh out of the Americans with the downing of the E11-A BACN aircraft in Afghanistan (this is my view at least). But if this report is accurate, then most of our original gripes with the level of response to shahid Soleimani's murder was justified. I still stand by my...

Iran is still very much a mystery to outsiders who simply just don't know and are utterly ignorant as to recent Iranian advancements that have irreversibly changed the paradigm of military power in the region. I.R.I. has some pretty forward thinking military planners within their ranks and...

Thing is, Iranian strategy in wartime is centered squarely on utterly saturating the enemy with as many missiles, drones and cruise missiles as humanly possible in the beginning stages of the conflict. Any Iranian Air-assets used will be utilize after the enemies ability to retaliate has been...

You don't want to use Ballistic Missiles to destroy tanks. The cost to benefit ratio in that type of engagement would be disastrous. UCAVs with ATGMs could easily fill that roll especially if one could saturate the air-space with them. Sincerely hoping Iran can get their hands on those...

This is where Iranian doctrine conflicts with what we perceive to be the more optimal path given our reference point (American air-centric Power). idk which one is better for Iranian needs given all relevant circumstances.

We've yet to see just how well Iran's missile-centric strategy will fare in a real-time/real world engagement with presumably Israel which would represent the hardest test given range and relative ABM capabilities. -- I'm hoping IRGC's efforts to spread out and arm various allies in the region...

I hope I haven't offended you with my own sentiments Salar-jan. I do sincerely appreciate your input here on PDF and I wish for you to continue to stay here and provide your analysis/perspective on various topics! That being said, I myself have had a rather sorry history here. My earlier days...

I wonder if the Russian Federation will ever feel the need to call for full mobilization of their forces as the collective West/NATO incessantly continues this conflict at the cost of young Ukrainian lives. Transnistria seems to be a possible new front that might be opening up in this conflict.

Hmm.... well now that we're all talking about the content of character for other users lol. How do you guys here view me? (seriously curious lol). I promise I won't get mad, genuinely interested as to what others think about me here on PDF :) P.S.: I love/respective everyone opinions. I think...

Nah brother, many of us (well at least me) have been 100% aware and with you on this subject! The Russians like to default to their "slavic bonds" excuse whenever Israel or its former "fraternal brother states" goes and does something against the Russian Federation whilst ignoring the...

It's this that pisses me off to no end. The Russian Federation plays with Israel like it's some sort of "friend" when damn near everything on the geopolitical side will point out to both of them being enemies. Especially now given that Israel is actively sending "volunteer" soldiers as well as...

Iran doesn't have a pressing need for a potent MBT due to the fact that their really isn't any danger of large-scale invasion outside of border skirmishes and the like. Best for Iranian ground forces to field and deploy (actively) as many MRAP type vehicles or any APC in order to bolster...

More or less. Some speculate that the Karrar has TOT from Russia incorporated within the design although the Karrar tanks themselves are a mix of upgraded domestically built T-72s brought up to a Karrar standard mixed with smaller batches of Karrars produced from scratch. They're pretty good...

If Iran does indeed have 30,000-50,000 Ballistic missiles (of different makes and types)... then they've solved their WMD issue no? I guess the only obstacle left would be modes of firing that many efficiently. We've seen the Ballistic Missile MLRS system (ground breaking revelation at the...

Omg... the IMF obsession over the Qaher-313 drove me nuts, it's a totally bunk project that should have never gotten any sort of green-light due to how ambitious if not outright outlandish of a project it is/was/or may be. (Looks like shit as well). Money is better spent trying to develop...

Respectively speaking brother, I simply do not think this is the case. Those numbers just don't really coincide with any sort of reality that one can rationalize with because of all of the necessary logistical/storage related assets needed to maintain all these weapons. I can entertain 10,000...

Optimistic guesses based on nothing but pure conjecture on my part would put Iranian PGM stocks in the high-thousands amongst all weapon types collectively: cruise missiles ballistic missiles drones precision guided rocket-artillery guided traditional artillery (Iranian KRASNOPOL) air launched...
