Iran has always been the thorn in the eyes of the United States. Decades of suppression and sanctions have had a serious impact on Iran’s military development, making the main fighter of the country’s air force the F-14 fighter. This year the United States is deeply mired in the epidemic, but it has not forgotten to impose military pressure on Iran. It has sent warships into its sensitive waters many times. Faced with pressure from the United States, Iran has responded with a tough attitude and even deployed in sensitive waters. Ballistic missiles to warn the United States.
Now that the arms embargo has been lifted, Iran has begun to appear frequently in the arms sales market. It is hoped that a satisfactory fighter can be selected for an update of the country’s air force. Prior to this, the most popular were Russia’s Su-35 and my country’s fighter jets. 10. Russia even stated that their Iranian fighters were chosen at random, but to everyone's surprise, both fighters were unsuccessful, and the Su-30 fighters were ultimately chosen for the purpose of confronting the US aircraft carrier.
Iran has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the United States after it has finalized the air force procurement plan. After all, the fighter has great advantages in terms of performance and combat effectiveness. It is fully capable of deterring US aircraft carriers. It can be said that the United States' attempt to block Iran ultimately failed. It is understood that the reason why Iran chose this fighter is its moderate price. Experts say that the price of a Su 35 is about 110 million U.S. dollars, and a large replacement like Iran requires at least a hundred fighters. This will cost at least more than 11 billion U.S. dollars. On the other hand, the previous price of the Su 30 was about 50 million US dollars. However, some sources said that the amount of 100 Su 30s in Iran is about one third of that of the Su 35. Given the current relationship between the two countries, the price may be more favorable.
Secondly, the logistics maintenance of the Su-30 is also relatively economical. If you buy our country's J-10, you will need to introduce a lot of related security systems later, which is very cost-effective. In addition to the reasonable cost, the Su-30 can also carry Iran’s self-developed anti-ship missiles and air-to-air missiles. Experts say that most Iranian fighters are Russian fighters. Therefore, when developing missiles, it is natural to consider whether they are compatible with Russian fighters. In addition, Iran's current economic strength has not yet recovered, so the Su 30, which is more cost-effective, is finally finalized, so as to better start a head-on contest with the US aircraft carrier. In addition to the warplanes, some experts said that Iran may also introduce advanced air defense missile systems. With the help of this equipment, Iran can not only shoot down enemy missiles, but also intercept other patrol aircraft. Experts say that the relationship between Iran and Russia is getting closer, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to the United States.
