Except for those pieces of Russian junk,the rest of the equipment was purchased during the reign of the Shah before 1979.
This antiquated force is asked to confront a first world power and expected to win in a direct military confrontation.
And one more thing. mat,you need to grow up.

A country dosn't need to destroy aggressors.

It needs a detterent, that a size of damage will prevent aggressors from taking chances

IT IS NAIVE TO IMAGINE THAT THE GREAT NATION OF IRAN WITH ITS VAST ENERGY RESOURCES WILL DEPEND ON THESE 'KNOWN' MILITARY TOOLS in its defense of the Nation.

NO NATION IN THE WORLD!

FACT ONE-NO NATION the WORLD OVER APART FROM THE FEW SO CALLED big POWERS CAN AFFORD TO INNIATE SUCH A HUGE SEAMLESS MILITARY MANOAVRE INDEPENDENTLY.

FACT TWO-Iran is a master in military drills,and this is one among the vast success stories of the ISLAMIC REGIME.

No nation on this planet can defeat America in conventional warfare. Place the full might of Iran's military during the peak of the Shah's reign and it would not have lasted more than a week. The only solution is asymmetrical warfare and hit-and-run tactics. Thank God Iran has generals with some common sense; who the hell would want a direct military confrontation with the US?

And those "Russian junk" are actually quite advanced submarines.

The problem is Iran hasn't any real generals in charge except for those types that have been turned to "generals" because of their loyalty towards their unelected leadership and not the Iranian nation.
Not one of those "generals" in charge have any history of education or training in military college.
And if you know your Iranian history,you would know that the military during the Shah was designed to hold back a Soviet invasion until help from America.
During that time Iran could have destroyed any regional aggressor except the Soviet Union.
But hopefully as you know the Shah was not interested in causing war with any country at the time.Saddam tried and was soon put down and forced onto the negotiating table.
True no nation can defeat America even if it's asymmetrical because end of the day Iran's infrastructure and economy cannot be asymmetrical.So the only solution is no war at all with the US and downgrading of hostilities that serve no purpose except to accommodate some fanatical cause on behalf of the ruling clique.
And that does not benefit the Iranian people one little bit except to add more unnecessary misery and make the Russian leadership use Iran as a bargaining chip to gain more credits for itself as usual.

yeah, the Iranians probably have weapons that emit natural gas and can destroy galaxies.


not only that, but the Iranian special troops have superhero tights and peacock tails.

Wow B.M.A,please tell us! What types of super secret wonder weapons the Islamic theocracy possesses??

So you admit that the "known military tools" are pieces of rusting old junk?
According to mat the world is in awe of the "mighty Islamic republic",LOL!

Are you one of those fruit cakes as well?
