[ Yes again the ONLY contribution the RQ-170 gave the Saegheh UCAV's was in design only! Having access to the RQ-170 had absolutely nothing to do with the propulsion systems of the Saegheh UCAV's That doesn't mean Iran didn't try to reverse engineer the engine later on with the Jaheh-700 and...

A purchased Airforce is more of a leash than a capability! And a purchased Airforce, without constant supply of parts and weapons will loose the vast majority of its capability in mere months. So regardless of the Aircrafts generation, unless you have the capability to supply, maintain and arm...

Wrong! The downing of the RQ-170 in terms of design gave Iran quicker access to flying wing designs and that was about it's only contribution to the Saegheh UCAV's As for the Simorgh 1-1 copy again main contribution so far have been in design & flight management also in the future when the...

That is a closed minded way of looking at a fighter project. A true fighter project would forces Iran to seriously invest in a wide range of tools, equipment and infrastructures that would not only be used in a fighter project but also used for developing and producing viable transport...

Again NOT that simple! 1. Iran can absolutely build 100km A2A missiles! The problem is targeting at that range, equipment required for targeting at that range, how big and heavy would such a missile would be... So far we haven't even managed to put a Fakkor-90 missile on our Kowsar fighters let...

Should be perfect for secure instantaneous communication needed for military equipment

Again once you stop utilizing stealth your enemy will simply adapt to what you have or don't have! So for the foreseeable future stealth designs on Aircraft (Manned or not) will remain as the go to tech for incursions and I really don't see that changing anytime soon at least not within the next...

Just because a new technology is being developed it doesn't mean all the old systems are going to suddenly go away! So we are a long way away from it being perfected and even longer from proliferation. Just look at development and proliferation of lasers and rail guns. When where they...

The development of portable Quantum com's and quantum computing will revolutionize the way wars are fought and the most powerful countries in the world will be ones with the largest number of robots and remotely operated equipment. And Iran needs to do a better job at getting ready for that...

Deepest diving Russian sub is the Oscar class then the Seara class that also has Ti hull As I told you working with Titanium is rather complicated which makes production, overhaul and hull repair costly and at the same time unlike Aircrafts you have alternatives. So it's not ideal for Iran at...

Your mistaken. They had a problems with the Hull from the start which they claim to have corrected. At least that's what Wikipedia says.... I honestly don't know much about that sub! However, it's clear to me that the cost of production, overhaul and maintenance was clearly too burdensome and...

You sitting 70's era tech and a sub that despite having such an expensive hall and nuclear propulsion hasn't stood the test of time and every single one of them have gotten retired VS lets say the Kilo at approximately the same size and half the speed that's still being produced today.... why do...

Not really! On fighters you substitute strength with weight reduction using Ti and on Jet engines you require alloys that can be air cooled and operate at much higher temperatures and are much lighter. While on Subs and Ships the preference is strength...! Sure you can build your artillery and...

NO I believe it's the Air Forces responsibility to use MOD companies to come up with a viable prototype then it would be the MOD's responsibility to take it into production! The navy did the same and pushed for what they wanted! IRGC did and does the same on many of their weapons! They made it...

What difference did I place in Air Force vs IRGC funding? Plus I believe funding to be more of an excuse than a problem. Do you think the Iranian leadership would even have serious discussions with the Russians over the Su-30 if Iran's Air Force had provided them with a viable domestic...

It's the Air Forces responsibility to manage it's self! Political leadership & Commander n Chief can only advise & in reality should be the other way around.... Unfortunately, at this point due to so many decades of utter mismanagement I think Iran's political leadership has no choice but to...

1st off don't confuse Iran's capabilities as a country with the Air Forces short sighted poorly managed R&D projects and utter miss management. And I'm sorry to burst your bubble but NO country in their right mind at Iran's level of financial capability goes and fields over +7 Different types...

Iran's Air Force needs a new breed of managers/officers that don't subscribe to the old way of conventional thinking that fixates them on how an Air Force should behave. Truth is it's more of a subservient way of thinking that they have right now than a conventional one! Today more capable Air...

If the U.S. Navy was going to carry out a full on attack against a country as strong as Iran, In terms of firing Tomahawk Cruise Missiles this is what they would likely do Deploy as many as 4 Fleets with up to15 Ticonderoga Missile Cruisers between them in the initial offensive...
