Iran will never buy J-10C fighter jets, 052D warships, or any anti-aircraft missiles. In a word, it will not buy anything! Iran's humility in the face of Britain and the United States and China's pride are two sides of the same body. This time Iran was beaten up by Israel and the United States, and it is difficult to change anything. In fact, what Iran wants is not just fighter jets, but aims at the fighter production line. Among the countries in the Middle East, Iran and Turkey are ambitious Islamic countries and will not admit defeat easily.
Trouble see the official gentlemen in the upper right corner click on "attention", which is both convenient for you to discuss and share, but can bring you a different sense of participation, thank you for your support!
After the outbreak of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran radically changed the political landscape of the Middle East and also opened up a situation of long-term opposition to the United States. After the revolution, the United States quickly adopted sanctions and blockade policies on Iran, not only cut off economic aid, but also stopped the supply of weapons to the Iranian army.
At that time, the Iranian Air Force still held F-14 Tomcat fighter jets and other advanced equipment, but without spare parts and technical support, these aircraft soon faced the crisis of scrapping. It can be said that Iran's aviation combat power is almost forced to stagnate, which is a great blow to a country that once had the top air force in the region.
Over the next dozen years or so, Iran gradually realized that the days of reliance on external weapons systems were gone forever. In the early 1990s, Iran began to invest a lot of resources in independent research and development and reverse engineering.
In this process, Iran has not chosen traditional purchases and modifications, but from engines, missiles to drones, almost every core technology link is trying to seize autonomy.The reverse engineering not only allows Iran to repair existing old warplanes, but also laid the foundation for its future independent development.
For example, in the field of missiles, Iran has gradually built missile systems from short-range to medium-range by imitating and improving outsourced or captured technologies, improving its deterrence and defense capabilities.
In 2011, an incident made Iran take a crucial step in drone technology. At that time, the US military's RQ-170 stealth drone crashed in Iran. Although the US tried its best to cover it up, Iran successfully recovered the wreckage of the whole aircraft. For the Iranian military industry, this is an unexpected "teaching material".
After years of careful research, Iran has not only mastered the design concept of hidden drones, but also developed similar domestic drones on this basis and put into real war in the Middle East. This event marks Iran's military-industrial technology from "imitation" to "autonomous innovation", which can not only produce existing equipment, but also improve and upgrade for actual operational needs.
At the same time, Iran's military industrial system is gradually improving. From the initial small-caliber light weapons, to armored vehicles and radar systems, to drones, missiles and electronic warfare equipment, it has almost achieved self-sufficiency. It is worth noting that Iran's R&D strategy is not simply to pursue quantity, but to emphasize core technology control and system integration capabilities.
In other words, what Iran needs is not only weapons, but also the production capabilities and operational experience behind the technology, which allows Iran to maintain relatively independent defense and counterattack capabilities in the Middle East even in the face of pressure from Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United States.
This pursuit of technological autonomy is evident in Iran’s attitude toward foreign arms purchases. In recent years, China has become a potential weapons supplier, but Iran’s conditions are not simple purchases. It requires a complete set of technology, production lines, source code and the ability to maintain independently, rather than simply buying a few fighters or a warships.
This attitude reflects Iran’s true strategic intention: it doesn’t want to become an addict to any country’s technological dependence, but rather to autonomous control over its core military-industrial technology.
For this reason, finished equipment such as J-10C fighter jets, 052D destroyers or air defense missiles is limited to Iran, and it is concerned about the production capacity behind the equipment, R&D experience and the possibility of continuous upgrading.
Iran’s ambition is reflected not only in its technological autonomy, but also in its regional strategic ambition. Among the countries in the Middle East, Iran and Turkey are the few countries with clear military and industrial ambitions.
Even in the face of strong attacks from the United States and Israel, Iran has shown tenacity and endurance. Despite the continued pressure from the United States and Israel on Iran in 2019, Iran was still able to attack key targets through drones and missiles, showing that its asymmetric combat capabilities have a deterrent effect. This shows that Iran's military independence is not only a technological pursuit, but also a strategic guarantee.
Let's look at the arms sales negotiations between China and Iran. The outside world often focuses on the transaction itself, such as buying a few fighter planes or ships, but the fact is that Iran's eyes have gone beyond the equipment in front of it. The technology, source code and production line it requires are actually investments in future independent manufacturing capabilities.
If China only provides finished products, it will have limited significance to Iran. In other words, what Iran wants is "technological independence", not "buying and selling rights". This also explains why Iran can maintain a certain degree of strategic autonomy in the face of military pressure from Israel and the United States: it does not rely entirely on imported equipment, but relies on its own military-industrial system to form support.
In fact, the achievements of Iran’s military-industrial system have attracted global attention.
The development of drone technology has allowed Iran to effectively strike the enemy at a small cost in the Middle East; the advancement of missile technology has made Iran no longer fully dependent on diplomatic means in strategic deterrence; and independent development in the fields of air defense, radar, armored vehicles, etc., has guaranteed Iran's defense capabilities can continue to evolve.
It can be said that after decades of efforts, Iran has changed from a country that relies on imported equipment to a military and technological power capable of self-support and independent defense.
