Since the 2016 nuclear deal between Iran and the international community, Iran's defense capability has been restored and improved to a certain extent. Recently, the news about Iran's purchase of Russian Su-35 and other fighters has attracted widespread attention. This article will focus on this topic and analyze the significance of the purchase of Su-35 and other fighters for the Iranian Air Force.
1. Enhance the combat effectiveness of the Iranian Air Force.
The Su-35 is a modern fighter with high maneuverability, supersonic cruise capabilities, and a powerful firepower configuration. If the Iranian Air Force succeeds in purchasing Su-35 and other fighters, it will greatly enhance its combat effectiveness. First of all, the Su-35's excellent air mobility capabilities enable the Iranian Air Force to quickly evade and counterattack when encountering an enemy attack. Secondly, the supersonic cruising capability allows the Su-35 to quickly reach the battlefield in a short time and form an effective strike against the enemy. Finally, the Su-35 is equipped with advanced systems, such as radar-guided air-to-air missiles and laser-guided bombs, which can improve the Iranian Air Force's precision strike capabilities.
2. Strengthen the defense capability of the Iranian Air Force.
Iran is located in the Middle East and has a complex surrounding security environment. The purchase of Su-35 and other fighters will help the Iranian Air Force improve its defense capability and defend the security of the country's airspace. The Su-35's excellent radar system and electronic warfare equipment enable it to quickly detect and track enemy targets on the battlefield and develop effective defense strategies for its own side. In addition, the Su-35 is also capable of performing tasks such as air patrol, alert and interception, effectively responding to enemy air threats.
3. Promote the development of Iran's aviation industry.
The purchase of Su-35 and other fighters can not only improve the combat effectiveness of the Iranian Air Force, but also help promote the development of Iran's aviation industry. Through the introduction of advanced technology, Iran's aviation industry is expected to make breakthroughs in aircraft manufacturing, repair and maintenance. In addition, the introduction of Su-35 fighters will also stimulate the demand of Iran's domestic aviation market and drive the development of related industrial chains.
Fourth, enhance Iran's voice in international affairs.
As an important country in the Middle East, Iran plays an important role in international affairs. The purchase of Su-35 and other fighter jets will help strengthen Iran's voice in international affairs. On the one hand, the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Iranian Air Force will give it a more favorable position in the security landscape of the Middle East. On the other hand, by enhancing its own strength, Iran will be able to better safeguard its national interests and play an active role in international affairs.
To sum up, the procurement of Su-35 and other fighters is of great significance to the Iranian Air Force. However, we should also note that the procurement of fighter jets is only part of the enhancement of national defense capabilities, and Iran needs to continue to promote national defense construction. At the same time, Iran should also actively participate in international affairs and maintain regional peace and stability. In this process, the Iranian Air Force will play an important role and contribute to the security and development of the country.
