Citing Iran’s mission to the UN in New York, Sputnik said after the end of the Iran-Iraq war in 1988, Iran expressed its interest to buy combat aircraft, and Russia was a willing partner.
“The mission added that the Su-35 combat aircraft are technically acceptable to Iran, so after October 2020, and the end of Iranian restrictions on purchases of conventional weapons (UN Resolution No. 2231), Iran completed the procedures for the acquisition,” the Russian news agency noted...
Earlier, a video emerged showing Iran’s Khordad-3 & Mersad air defense systems coming out of what is reportedly an underground tunnel. Interestingly, the latest video surfaced shortly after Iran unveiled its all-new underground air base in southern Hormozgan Province....
The Khordad-3 is equipped with an active phased array radar, which is said to be able to detect 100 targets at once and engage four targets simultaneously and guide two missiles on each target.
The Kordad-3 is famous for having shot down an American RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle in 2019 over the Strait of Hrmuz...
“Any attack on Iran from our enemies, including Israel, will see a response from our many air force bases, including Eagle 44,” Iran’s armed forces Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri told Iran’s official IRNA news agency at the time....
Iran on Tuesday unveiled its first underground air force base, called "Eagle 44", the country’s official news agency IRNA reported...
the NY Times, which examined images released by Iran and satellite images of the site, also uncovered a couple of clues that the base is being prepared for the arrival of Su-35 fighter jets...
Acquisition of Russian-made Su-35 fighter jets would represent a significant upgrade to Iran’s aerial combat capability, which at the moment, mainly comprises the Cold War-era US-made F-4 Phantom IIs, F-14 Tomcats, and F-5E/F Tiger IIs and domestically duplicated versions thereof, all of which were inherited after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and are complicated to sustain.
...
Iran also has the Russian-made 3D VHF AESA 1L119 NEBO SVU radar for early warning and alert against the F-35 aircraft..... According to experts, the NEBO SVU can detect an F-35 from approximately 152 kilometers, a significant distance.
Proxy war continued. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the Middle East (some changeable), etc. All of which flow from helping Stalin so much in WW2 (to shorten the war) - which flows from WW1 -that it entered Berlin first.
And true to adversarial form, having entered the US and Washington DC long before that (with spies) obtained nuke secrets, and with scientists captured from Germany, had the A-bomb and spawned the space race (yet also thus Cell Phones etc.)
However, as the West itself is overall increasingly at War with God (and all we choose to do is a result of what we actually believe - at least at the moment), then consistent with the principle of the most accountable being judged first, and of the wicked being used by the Almighty as His chastising sword, (Psalms 17:13) then I believe that America, and its increasing Woke military ("Wokelitary?") will see some profound chastisement.
Not simply via the unprecedented degree of crass whiny lawlessness ((restaurants as 8th most common setting for violent crime ) but from without.
Iran is simply one player in this, with China, due to its theft and US-fostered industrial base, and God-less lust for power (Australia being one object of desire) being the major on against the US which now likely would need years to just repair war-damaged ships. If it even has the parts..
And thus its dominating superpower stature would be severely diminished, and with this as well as chaos within resulting in both more dependence upon government by the masses, as well as more demand for security, thus fostering acceptance of dictatorial government by the Left. Armed revolt from the few who engage in this will be used by the Left to validate its dictatorial demands. And also in the name of combating Climate Change, Racial injustice, and Gender discrimination, removing rights of all who oppose its demonic perversions.
This is still a result of government by the people in an increasingly post-Christian society. Every generation since WW2 has been the most Biblically ignorant and morally confused generation America has ever raised. Even with voter fraud, no national election should have even been close, as it has since Kerry and Bush, but the deceived (most willingly) and the deceivers have chosen.
For true Christians, those of penitent, heart-purifying, regenerating effectual faith, (Acts 10:43-47; 15:7-9) which is imputed for righteousness, (Romans 4:5) and is shown in baptism and following the Lord, (Acts 2:38-47; Jn. 10:27, 28) then while contending for moral values and sound principle of governance, and voting for candidates who will best sail American in the starboard direction, yet the mindset must be like those in the first century, being pilgrims n a foreign land, as citizens in the kingdom of God that will never end, and seeking save souls out of modern-day Babylon, thereby turning many to righteousness, to the glory of God.
And I will dare to add that those whose marginalize this spiritual foundation, perhaps with their goal merely being that of a basically secular "Mayberry RFD," and who thus tell me (as one has) that such exhortations should be not be here but placed in the Religion forum, are actually pat of the problem, and are actually counterproductive.
None of this matters to the current administration. What really matters is SVB was breaking the glass ceiling and had girl power going!
ESG, DEI, SJW, defeating whites at every turn... that’s what REALLY matters.
Applicable.
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. (Hosea 8:2-4)
For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes. Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. (Hosea 8:9-12)
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. (Hosea 8:14)
Wake up!
Why does the author not perceive Russias dire need for every munition available and is much more likely to be in need of Iran providing them weapons?
‘perhaps with their goal merely being that of a basically secular “Mayberry RFD,”’
Secular right: heading to the same destination as the secular left, only taking the scenic route.
As if you could even have a “Mayberry RFD" without a very basic Christian foundation of faith.
The priority of the site is to get hits via news, not by much analysis. But there is no contradiction, as the promise of Russian weapons is one for the future, though a little downpayment may take place 1st, in exchange for Iranian armaments now. Projectiles now, planes later.
Russia proves once again, as though proof is needed, that it is now and never has been an integral part of European civilization. It is an Oriental Despotism. Was, is now, and apparently ever shall be.
Meanwhile, “General” Milley continues to study “white rage”.
We’re also allowing enemies to practice in real world conditions what weapons work and resupply networks work.
Isn’t shooting down a propeller driven drone like shooting down a Cessna 172? Hardly a feat worthy of bragging about.
The MQ-9 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is slow and defenseless.
