Former Iranian deputy parliament speaker on Monday criticized Russia for refusing to provide Iran with the S-400 air defense system, despite Tehran supplying drones used in the war in Ukraine.
“Russia has given the S-400 air defense system to Turkey and Saudi Arabia, but does not give it to Iran, which has provided it with drone assistance in the war with Ukraine, because it might be used against Israel,” Ali Motahari wrote in a post on X.
“This is what the strategic cooperation with Iran that Mr. Putin talks about looks like,” he added.
“which he claims is much more capable than the S-400”
since everything iran had in terms of air defense was blowed up right before the main air attack occurred, a more accurate claim would be that home-grown iranian air defense systems [assuming such even exist] are EQUAL to S-400 performance ...
Iranian drones; if I recall correctly, didn’t the Obozo have a US drone landed in Tehran where they then duplicated it and mass produce them by the thousands using the $billions he also gave them?
For what I know they were offered a quality integrated defense but went with low end Chinese and domestic systems.
