Chinese would surely take into account your feedback. Dont you worry.

Yes but its a Chinese base too. Pakistan is a conduit for both sides to learn about each other. And both doesn't want that to change.

Doc, from my limited reads into the Iranian MIC, they are way ahead of both Pakistan and Turkiye in Air Defence and Missiles. Their IADS failure is attributed to subversion and sabotage. Their own people have been more than willing to hurt Iran. Pakistan and Turkiye can help Iran in aerial...

Considering the deep infestation of western intelligence apparatus in Iran and Iranian military apparatus, I dont think Chinese would be willing to sell Iranians anything apart from watered down J10s. And without AWACS to vector to J10s, it would be a turkey shoot. I think its time for Iran to...

Yes, he was posted in East Germany during his KGB service. The reason he's fully fluent in German. He's from the backward areas of St Petersburg, from the bolshevik era, that also contributes to the hardy mindset.

Indeed doc. Nothing comes first before the family. Indeed.

Even if the news of J10CE induction in IRIAF is true, it still would take them years to effects utilise them effectively. Iranian military woud have to first integration itself with the Beidou SatNav system. Their pilots have no experience with modern planes and modern aerial warfare. They...

A very wrong assumption sir.

Okay. Let’s separate the chaff from wheat and the slogans from reality. The GCC states have transactional relationships with the West but do not pretend that Iran’s "resistance" model has brought prosperity or sovereignty either. Unlike the Gulf, Iran has: A crumbling currency, with the rial...

The British in India were colonial occupiers, an outright foreign power extracting resources and suppressing local sovereignty for 200 years. The Pehlavis, for all their faults and ties to the West, were an Iranian dynasty that modernized the country, expanded education, and maintained...

Doc, you raise valid concerns about foreign interference and the tragic fate of many Middle Eastern nations, no one wants to see Iran broken or exploited. But let’s be clear: The Pahlavis, for all their flaws, were not mere ‘Western plants.’ They built institutions, drove industrialization, and...

Another day, another cat fight on forum.

Doc, I believe in judging regimes based on their actions, not just their religious or ideological labels. The Pehlavi era had its flaws, but under it, Iran was a stable, and rapidly modernizing nation with strong global ties. Today, the IRI’s policies whether crushing dissent at home, fueling...
