In the future Iran should concentrate on expanding and improving the motor vehicle,ship,steel and gas/oil/mining industries.Under right management Iran has so much potential.

this is an important development for Iran, a developing country. iran has much catching up to do. 8 years of war together with detrimental regime policy stopped iran from progressing. one could say iran is more than a decade behind other countries it had been at par with before the war.

Yeah! All of Iran's defense/space achievements are mere paint jobs! That's why sanctions prohibit U.N members from exporting any nuclear, missile or military related technology/material to Iran, because paint jobs are that f*cking hard and sophisticated nowadays!

When are you people gonna stop making yourselves look like children? I mean I know the regime is theocratic, undemocratic and oppressive, but why this means you anti-regime idiots insist on making fools of yourselves I can never understand. This only gives more credibility to the regime's propaganda.

No wonder why the regime is so strong, because it has the most childish opposition in the world.

Russia has problems with their construction deadlines for its maritime vessels, so based on the recent defense agreement, they may seek some assistance from the Iranian side in those matters.
