Not gonna get into it with you because Beny is trying to troll.
But you wrote "Who prevented you from being one of the best armed militaries in the world?
Who prevented Iran, Turkey or Arabs from being better armed than Russia?"
Everyone prevented and have stood in Iran's way to develop their military, most countries still do.
It's not about incompetency when it comes to military development. But about access. Access to technology namely, arms and etc.
Turks and Arabs have top notch fighter jets because no one stood in their way of getting them. Except for when it comes to certain things, like the f-35.
"The US has given Israel categorical assurances that it will not deliver F-35 stealth multirole fighter jets to Arab states to beef up their aerial power, a report says.
According to the Hebrew-language daily
Maariv, Washington had confirmed to Tel Aviv that this type of aircraft “will be exclusively allocated for Israel in the Middle East.”
Or you can use North Korea vs South Korea, obviously South Korea is more developed. Even though they are the same people, the difference is in the access they have to technology and knowledge.
Also I read a paper a while ago, that was about Iran's development if it hadn't been under Sanctions. And it gave pretty sound reasons as to why it would have probably been the most developed country in the middle east by far if it didn't have any obstacles in its way such as sanctions. Now, i think Iran is probably the 3rd most developed country in the Middle East, but they are quickly gaining on the top 2. And that's one of the reasons as to why one of those top 2 countries, want the west to keep their sanctions on Iran. Not to stop them from a "nuclear weapons program" that doesn't exist, but to stop them from developing as a nation.
Nobody prevented you from developing your military.
Do you think Russia, Nazi Germany, America or China had their military developments handed to them for free on an obstacles-free course?
They have what they have largely thanks to their own efforts.
You now say Turks and Arabs have top notch fighter jets, if so, why can't they delete Israel of only 6 million ? Your friend another time was saying it's not about population but number of fighter jets which Israel had 430 of, now you say, Turks and Arabs also have top notch fighter jets, so why couldn't they outgun Israel?
Simple answer. Israel is simply better than all of you combined in its military strength.
Good point about North Korea.
North Korea is starved to death, most isolated country, sanctioned, embargoed, still it launches submarine launched ballistic missiles, readying its thermonuclear warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles but Iran in 2016 is unable or scared, you can decide which is the case, to prepare its thermonuclear warhead and intercontinental ballistic missiles. North Korea with only 24 million people, mostly starved, no huge oil and gas resources or agricultural or other basic resources cut off from the outside world, in a state of war with the South.
North Korea that outperformed all the Middle East in intellectual tests and brains, and North Korea that is more disciplined than all the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Southern Asia, Eastern Europe.
North Korea that with only 24 million people has more artillery, howitzer and rockets than 80 million Iran, Turkey or Egypt or any other Middle Eastern, African, Latin American or Eastern European country not counting Russia.
Sanctions or no sanctions, can you show any field where Iran has consistently outperformed the world or performed at par with the best in the business? Brains, science, tech, business, industry, or military developments, sport, infrastructure - anything that we can measure objectively?
Iran is what it is and without sanctions, at best, it would have been a glorified Brazil, maybe Spain but no better.
