Since 2015, Russia has held a series of international military-technical forums on the "Army" every year, on the one hand, to show the first and military equipment developed by Russia or have a future in the past year, and to perform and compete; On the other hand, it is also to attract some "customers" in order to further expand its own arms sales market. Many exhibitions have been canceled this year due to the pandemic, and Russia's "Army-2020" has become the first major exhibition of the year.
Iran sent a high-level delegation to the exhibition.
A total of 72 countries participated in the military forum, and 10 countries sent high-level delegations, one of which was Iran.
Iran sent Defense Minister Amir Khatami to lead a delegation to visit the country, and said that the main goal of the visit was to draw up a detailed cooperation plan to strengthen cooperation between the two countries. It is worth noting that Iran's ** embargo will expire on October 18, and at that time, as long as Iran has money and wants to buy **buy **, the United States will no longer have a legitimate reason to restrict Iran. Even if sanctions are unilaterally proposed, they will not be supported by the international community, and at most they can only threaten some countries not to sell to Iran**. However, Russia has been in a state of competition with the United States for many years, and it will certainly not be at the mercy of the United States. Iran is finally going to "raise its eyebrows".
Iran's defense minister is very interested in many **.
Iran's current domestic more advanced is missiles, as for other aspects due to the embargo has been in a relatively backward state, the main direction of the purchase should be in the fighter planes, anti-aircraft missiles and other aspects. At present, Iran is still using the S-300 air defense system, which is obviously a little difficult to deal with the latest fifth-generation aircraft of the United States.
In this exhibition, the Iranian defense minister first took a close look at the S-400 long-range anti-aircraft missile system, and went deep into the performance of the S-400 with Russia, saying that it leads the world. In recent years, the S-400 has been a hot seller in Russia, before and after to China, Turkey and India. In addition to this, the Russian Minister of Defense inquired in detail about the situation of the Ka-226T universal *** and Su-30SM fighters.
In early August, the United States and Israel conducted military exercises in the Middle East, with the F-35 as the main body, and a special project was added, that is, the practice of evading and finding weak points in enemy air defense systems. The area of the exercise is near Iran, which is almost equivalent to saying to Iran that there is going to be a war. Iran, of course, is very anxious about this, and after the end of the embargo, it will buy Russia with a lot of money to strengthen itself. This is also a good thing for Russia, after all, Russia needs to rely on the arms business to drive economic development. When voting at the meeting on the extension of the Iranian embargo, Russia chose to support Iran and voted against, and Iran is of course grateful to Russia.
