then our photographers are really talented... to take the worst shot of anything.Yes, it is the 5th member of the Type 052D class AKA DDG-117 Xining.

I must congratulate chinese people for the construction of such a beautiful destroyer.. It appears the most streamlined and well thought of design. I sure hope Iranian naval architects and engineer will be able to take advantage of this visit and familiarize themselves with new Hull designs. Iran has done wonderfully in the past two decades in ship building considering that this country started with a minimum industrial base as compared to China.Not really, it is a quite good shot, since the destroyer will always raise the flag of the partner countries during a joint military drill.
It also could be a metaphor that in the near future that China may use the blueprint of the Type 052D to assist Iran to build the next gen destroyer Negin.

when were you made a mod on PDF? or you just decided to start policing me like a volunteer job with no pay because i pointed out the falacies and bad logic you sometimes use on this forum?
ON topic - People like you are in for a big surprise because the problem with your logic about US naval strength is you overestimate Americas ability and willingness to use its military/navy. US doesnt use its navy against Iran because it knows it wont achieve its aim via that way. simple. so keep talking about german U boats cuz thats your weird obsession..

Kowsar isn't a real domestically built jet it's an upgrade derived from pre-existing stockpiles of F-5s.

Sir, China in 1979 (before Iranian revolution) 90% of China population was living in extreme poverty living on under $1 per day. So actually China was further behind than Iran.
Due to Shah and early miscues by early Islamic Republic (not opening up to international trade) Iran regressed and undercut its own potential.
China needs to deepen its military ties with Iran, since it is crucial for our one belt one road strategy.
China will be glad to help Iran to design its next gen Aegis destroyer and nuclear sub.
Compared to other ME countries, I would say that Iran has done a good job for building up its indigenous military industry.
Being more independent is the most important aspect of all.
Iran could have been MUCH further ahead. Unfortunately the early IR of Iran was filled more with religious zeal than pragmatic nature found today.
Iran was actually under VERY LITTLE sanctions post Revolution. Just US trade embargo, but even that didn’t stop firms like Dick Cheney’s Halliburton from having office in Tehran in 90’s.
Instead of attracting massive foreign investment and branching into international trade. Iran was too busy following the “neither East nor West” slogan and was suspicious of any major foreign investment by any country.
This hurt Iran greatly later on when more and more sanctions were put on it. Too little too late to start attracting foreign investment outside of energy sector.
This is clearly evident by the GDP growth in Iran from 1990-2005 and the GDP growth of Turkey during the same period.
Yeah but look at Turkey's economy now. Their country is completely dependent on a constant influx of EUR's and USD's. The west can pull the plug on them at any time and cripple them completely.10 yrs ago 1USD = 1.2 Lira NOW 1 USD =6 Lira and that's without serious sanctions imposed on their economy.
Turkish economy is still treading positive? So I am not sure what you are talking about.
Currency exchange rate is not a barameter of economic success. A weak lira currency actually helps Turkish companies export more and attracts more foreign investment.
Turkey GDP 850B
Iran GDP 440B
Note: Turkey has no significant energy (oil/gas) like Iran does.
Anyway you slice it Iran needs $1 Trillion in foreign investment in various sectors over next 10-20 years. No reason why Iran shouldnt have a $1 Trillion GDP in the future, just needs foreign capital.
Also US won’t do **** to Turkey because Turkey is a NATO member and supplies the most troops to NATO. If US tries to hurt Turkey they know Russia/China will step in and take advantage.
So I don’t see US trying draconian sanctions on Turkey in the near future. Also Turkey doesn’t oppose Israel too much (mostly rhetoric) and is aligned with Western backed world order.
