Paul Iddon – Forbes Dec 30, 2021
There is renewed speculation that Iran may buy 4.5-generation Sukhoi Su-35SE “Super Flankers” fighter jets from Russia for its antiquated air force in the near future.
Iran and Russia will reportedly sign a 20-year $10 billion defense agreement in January. Under that agreement, Moscow will supply Tehran with 24 Su-35SEs, two advanced S-400 air defense missile systems and a military satellite.
The Super Flankers in question are the same ones Russia built for Egypt’s air force. However, the threat of U.S. sanctions against Cairo under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) may very well jeopardize that $2 billion deal.
For now, a number of Su-35SEs intended for delivery to Egypt remain parked in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in the Russian Far East, home to the eponymous Komsomolsk-on Amur Aircraft Plant (KnAAZ). This has fuelled speculation that Russia will sell them to Iran or Algeria (a major Russian arms client) instead.
One article estimates that 15 Su-35SEs could be transferred to Iran in early 2022 if a contract is signed.
The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) is quite antiquated. Most of its fleet consists of U.S.-built F-14As, F-4s, and F-5s delivered in the 1960s and 1970s during the reign of its last shah. Since then, Tehran acquired MiG-29As from Russia and some ex-Iraqi Air Force Dassault Mirage F-1s flown to the country during the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
Iran hasn’t bought any new fighter jets since the early 1990s.
Consequently, acquiring two dozen 4.5-generation Su-35SEs – which feature thrust-vectoring engines and Tikhomirov NIIP N135 Irbis Passive Electronically Scanned Array (PESA) radar – could bolster Iran’s air power and serve as a stopgap solution for the country as it gradually upgrades its fighter fleet over the next decade.
Russian or Chinese-built fighters (or a mixture of both) have long been viewed by experts as the most likely jets Iran would procure in the 2020s or early 2030s.
However, Tehran has not seized past opportunities to buy modern Russian jets for internal reasons that have to do with the present power structure in Iran.
Shortly after the 2015 nuclear deal, there was speculation that Iran would seize an opportunity to acquire 30 Russian Su-30 jets and 300 T-90 main battle tanks. That didn’t happen. Instead of buying 300 T-90s for the Iranian Army, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) paramilitary acquired only 24 and transferred them all to Syria to fight on the side of then-embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Under the 2015 nuclear deal, the U.N. arms embargo on Iran was scheduled to expire in October 2020. In the months leading up to that expiration date, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) speculated that Iran might buy S-400s, Su-30 Flankers, Yak-130 trainers, and T-90 tanks. The embargo expired over a year ago, and there is little to no evidence that Iran is actively seeking any major arms procurements.
Military aviation expert Tom Cooper (who has written extensively about the IRIAF) outlined in 2016 how the system of rule in Iran and relations between the IRGC and the regular armed forces would make such major acquisitions highly unlikely.
He is also unconvinced today that Iran will acquire those Su-35SEs originally built for Egypt for the same reason.
“I would first like to hear that the IRGC has granted permission for the IRIAF to get that kind of stuff, and then that Tehran actually has the necessary money – before making any kind of useful conclusions,” he wrote on Dec. 30.
When David Abrahams was funnelling money from mossad to get Tony Blair elected
many people knew it was for a war on the people of iraq
israels main enemy
Tony Blair can no longer appear in public his name is a dirty word
his army of 6 bodyguards is the same as that other traitor Winston Churchill
we learn today that the queen under pressure from rothschild is to knight tony blair
this is sickening.
Russian president Putin saved the syrians once but now the US has military bases in syria and irag and afghanistan
ready to cause more wars sarting with iran
the British public support iran in polls against jewish aggression, they know whats in store once israel has the whole middle east and it is really not good
Queen under pressure from Rothschild…..come off it.The Queen is a crypto jew,she is part of the crew which hold Britain to ransom today.
The Zio-Queen would have overseen Pwince Charles circumcision by that Jewish rabbi.
It is NOT a cohencidence that Kate Middletown has easily identifiable jewish ancestry….
Or take “Big Suze” the attractive actress who married the ghoul Freddie Windsor….there is no doubt whatsoever that this actress is 101% jewish.
So Queenie should not be given the benefit of the doubt….after all it is the Monarchs duty to protect the realm…..and she has done nothing of the sort.The Royal Navy is even sent out to help the illegal immigrants to arrive on Britains shores….
The Windsor mob have done enough damage to Britain what with all their intrigue…..they need to be sent packing and if the Monarchy is still wanted they could choose someone with native born Anglo-Saxon origins…..and who is half intelligent not like the Windsor dummies.
Its rue a knighthood for that crooked bastard Tony Blair
The other Mossad remit was to promote homosexuality and its sub divisions such as pedophilia and bestiality
to this end New labour bankrolled a jew called Peter tatchell ran a pedophile suport group na d new labour paid out of peoples taxes to publish several vile homosexual magazines depicting naked little boys
Fred seaman did the first called Bumboys, but a lorry driver friend used to take his lorry to holland for some really vile homosexial magazines bring them here and put them through the post, these mags had much sadism and bestiality with naked under age boys
WE complained to royal mail who were posting thousands of these homosexual magazines to adresses in the uk
a spokesman said yes but we need the revenue
Here we are again with Russians playing good cop to Iran and providing just enough planes to keep up the pretense of enabling a credible defense against bad cop Israel controlled US. They will never sell Iran the quantity and quality of weapons needed to defend against Israel/US/UK and the rest. They will never sell them enough to enable Iran to take the war to Israel which is exactly what should be done since Israel is out to destroy that country just as they have destroyed Iraq, all with the help of shabbos goy America. They will only allow Iran to keep standing as a punching bag surrounded by Jewish trained shabbos goy pit bulls. Iran’s leaders have already been bought off just like Anwar Sadat in the early seventies. Sadat used to go to the Soviet Union begging Brezhnev to sell Egypt weapons that were at least 10 years behind, not 30 years behind. It’s the same game with the same Jew controlled puppets.
They all have Swiss bank accounts and Switzerland is a Jewish country if you haven’t noticed. None of them take the ‘vaccines’, they are all exempt and all hate the little people who built the nations they govern. They have all agreed to replace them with black, brown and yellow people and don’t believe a word of what Orban says about keeping Hungry white, he has to say that for the time being, just like Putin. Watch him wear the little hat and bow down before the wailing wall in Israel and bow down before the flame at Yad Vashem. They despise authentic Christians above all else and want to vaccinate them to death. Read the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (protocol 10) if you doubt this.
Putin, Biden, Trump, Macron, Trudeau, Bolsonaro, Orban, Johnson all have Swiss bank accounts and every one of them is either a crypto Jew or a bought and paid for shabbos goy. Take a look at who their children marry. They are pretty much all marrying Jews and sometimes marrying them in Catholic Churches. Look into former prime ministers as well. It didn’t matter what country they were from, their children married Jews and then they were off to NY and a career in banking or Wall Street. That’s the way it works, it’s a club and you’re not in it. Even Xi Jinping’s daughter studies at Harvard, under a fake name! After that, those prime ministers and presidents can’t appear in public without Jewish security, body doubles and even snipers. If they appear in public, people scream at them in rage.
Horace wimpole is right
the queen exactly as pervert spy sir anthony blunt said is a jew under rothschild as was churchill and tony blair and bad-boris
The sikh guy who entered the palace with a crossbow should have shot the queen as exactly as the lady said the brits under churchill stole the food which led to 5 million indians dying
Here is what General McKeanzy head of USCENTCOM had to say:
1- …CENTCOM region is the most cyber contested theater in the world…
2- …and proving ground for proliferation and employment of unmanned weaponized systems…
3- …Iran drones (small and medium UAS) deprive U.S from complete air superiority..
4- …sometimes difficult to detect them until it’s too late! (Seems like there have been incidents!)…

The future of warfare will be more of drones, sure-strike-missiles, AI, satellites, internet and cyber-space. Indeed an aircraft carrier is a relic of the past and huge slow target with so many onboard. Fighter planes too will be changed by advanced fighter drones which eliminate the need of endangering a human pilot.
As far as I’ve seen and heard from IRGC strategists, IRGC has been aware that the era of cybernetics in which only energy and data matter will require unique weapons, coupled with their asymmetric military doctrines… I would say it is highly unlikely that IRGC would seek such systems, perhaps Iran’s regular classic army (Artesh) might purchase limited numbers.
IRGC already employs artificial intelligence for its drones. Drones can autonomously act based on defined number of targets and their types, then efficient algorithms decide how they should behave depending on terrain, target types, allied drones, etc… this was clearly evident in the recent mock attack on Dimona with missiles and drones.
Iran has made sure it’s allies too can operate and create their own drones… Hamas in besieged Gaza can literally make them from junk!
On a plane-for-plane basis the Iranians will never be able to counter the numbers of planes that USrael and its European and Middle Eastern patsies will be able to set against them.
Far better to concentrate on cheaper and more efficient A2AD ground to air systems. That’s the way to make any air offensive by the West too costly.

Being that most of you don’t understand that you ARE NOT A PERSON, but instead HAVE A PERSON, to which YOU ARE A BENEFICIARY, and NOT A TRUSTEE, you will never get out of bondage. For thouse of who can think, study trust law and the masonic history and you will get a clearer picture. Higher rank masons get access to the funds in their Cestui qui vie trust estate, with all caps name.
How does Russia, which has an economy the size of Italy but double the population, afford all of the R&D and develop ail of these highly expensive weapon systems, planes, etc? – It really shouldn’t be able to afford to make them. That plane looks just like the US F-15. Maybe all of this war talk is just being put on to con us that we have to support whatever our governments want to do with our money.
