Russia Suggests Iran To Buy Su-27SM3 Fighters. Iran Wants Su-30SM Or Su-35 – Reports

Russia Suggests Iran To Buy Su-27SM3 Fighters. Iran Wants Su-30SM Or Su-35 - Reports

FILE IMAGE: mil.ru

Rumors are circulating in that Russia and Iran are close to a large military deal in the sphere of military aviation.

According to Shephard Media special correspondent Babak Taghvaee, Russia rejected the Iranian request to buy 18 Su-35 multirole air superiority fighters and 8 Su-30SM multirole fighters. In turn, Moscow reportedly suggested Tehran to buy a unknown number of Su-27SM3 multirole fighters.

The UN sanctions, the sensitive technologies implemented in the production of Su-30SM and Su-27SM3 aircraft as well as some commercial issues were allegedly behind the situation. In any case, the US is able to block any such delivers to Iran via the UN Security Council till 2020 when the limitations have to be lifted.

However, according to other experts, Babak Taghvaee’s story is questionable. Babak Taghvaee argued that Russia had no problems with delivering Su-27SM3 this year despite the UN Security Council limitations. This is very unlikely.

Furthermore, Russia does not produces new Su-27SM3 multirole fighters. It just modernizes older Su-27 versions.

Last weekend, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin met with Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan and discussed the military cooperation between the two countries.

According to a source in Rogozin’s office, the sides were set to discuss possible arms supplies and strengthening of the military and technical and technological cooperation amid the continued US sanctions.

Considering latest US corp. sanctions on Russia and Iran – who cares what the US sanctions are – Russia should sell the best to Iran, the US is always going to be a spoiler where possible.

CyricRenner

Exactly. Why even pay it lip service ? Iran desperately needs to update its air force. This is long overdue. Whatever aircraft they decide upon, I hope the deal is done soon.

Pavel Pavlovich

While I would welcome an improvement upon Iran’s military forces, any one for that matter, it is neither wise nor conventional to sell any other state, even your closest “allies”, your latest technology. Until such time as the T50 5th generation aircraft is mass produced (unlikely as of now, but in the near future, depending on the political and global situation, possible) any partner will be happy to get the Su 27/30. And for a nation like Iran, it will be enough.

Andras Mason

I understand what you’re saying, but what you ignore is that Russian planes and gear are generally considered 2nd choice vs. American / NATO ones. Under the present sanctions, Iran has limited negotiation power, so they can’t budge too much, but given a free market, Russia could just about forget not selling Su-35 to such a critical ally in one of the top-3 mportant regions in the world. I am addressing your “latest technology” point. Also, Pavel Pavlovich, this is precisely the reason why any state would ideally prefer NATO to Russia, everything else aside. The US equips its closest allies (e.g. UK, but also Canada, Italy) with tier-1 military technology. Even if – as you say – “for a nation like Iran, the Su 27 will be enough”.

ali amanat

Russia should go ahead with such SU30 AND SU35 , America is selling its all hardware ,UNSC is not prohibiting America ,its a arm twisting game IRAN has the legitimate right to buy and have such advance weapon systams.

zman

Fuck the UN and all their sanctions. Where has the UN been on the US use of white phosphorus bombs? Where have they been on using DU weapons? How about the US attacks on civilian infrastructure? Massive civilian deaths? Fuck the Zionist controlled UN.

Tudor Miron

Do you know who’s the current head of UN human rights council? Saudi Arabia! :$ I would lough if it wasn’t so ugly.

MeMadMax

More than 60% of the countries in the UN general assembly are muslim…

FlorianGeyer

Yes, Muslim nations ruled by despotic royal families with medieval ideology are the only US supporting Regimes.

More

FlorianGeyer
Majority of the non Monarchy Muslim countries also support the USA.
Turkey. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Azerbaijan, many in Africa and Central Asia.

Countries that support Russia get Blitzkrieg-ed because Putin (best friends with Netanyahu) allows it by doing nothing or very little or wait and see what happens.

Iran:
After Syria is completely destroyed, Putin will destroy Iran.

Syria:
Country that put its trust in Putin – Russia in 2010.

Russia did not protect Syria in 2010 / 2011 / 2012 / 2013 / 2014 / Jan to Oct 2015. Jan to now 2017.

As a result:
Syria 500,000 killed, 1.9 million injured, 6 million displaced or refugees, infrastructure destroyed, economy trashed.

Associated countries that have been “Axed”:

Palestine – Gaza:
Putin has done nothing

Afghanistan:
Putin Supported US NATO war and invasion

Iraq:
Putin did nothing but talk about it.

Lebanon 2006:
Putin did nothing, not even talk about it

Libya:
Medvedev – Putin – Russia did not veto UNSC to stop the No Fly Zone

Iran Sanctions:
Putin did nothing but talk about it

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

There is no “Diplomacy” option for Iran.

Iran needs to face reality, it has to stop:
Nuclear “Research”
Missile “Development”
Religious control over its Population

And reach a peace agreement with US and Israel.

Otherwise Iran will be destroyed by Putin for this reason:

Iran is a Geopolitical threat to Russia due to the Iran – Turkey Gas Pipeline and the proposed Iran – Iraq – Syria oil and gas pipeline to Cyprus and the EU.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

The US is a nation of hypocrites they didn’t get nuclear technology by themselves and Iran is no threat to Russia as they are part of the SCO, but Russia being permanent member. The US and Israel need to make peace deal that it doesn’t break later on, which seems a impossibility with these 2 unequal partners.

More

Terra Cotta Woolpuller
“…Iran is no threat to Russia…”

Both US and Israel would not harm Iran if they were at peace.

Its the other way around Russia is a threat to Iran.

Geopolitical reasons given already:
Iran – Turkey Gas Pipeline
Proposed Iran – Iraq – Syria oil and gas pipeline to Cyprus and the EU.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

Wow , more fantasy from your mouth the reality is there are no problems between the 2 countries they work together on various projects. The Gas pipeline is neither threatens US/Saudi/Israel interests , that is the real problem right there .

Terra Cotta Woolpuller
At present there is no chance of ending Israel if it could be called an “Empire”.

However the Khazars are steps ahead and already planning a New Khazar Empire centered around Ukraine.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

Talking the end of the US empire which in turn means the end of Israel as a country without financial and military support ,the end of Israel will happen.

The Khazars aka the Neo-Nazis are even being thwarted there and are losing even more against the Malorissyan people, which will have their own country. The Ukranazis are done and the people in that part are ready to rise up against the Kyiv Nazis, Porkyshenko has lost the support of the people , why they are sending US troops to the region to keep the people from overthrowing the corrupt US installed puppet.

More

Terra Cotta Woolpuller
“…Talking the end of the US empire…”

You are completely unrealistic, there is no chance of this happening for at least 30 years from now by which time they will be established fully in the EU, Baltics, Poland, Ukraine and broken up the Russian Federation.

Presently he Khazars fully control the US Senate and House (at least 98%), Judiciary, Federal Reserve, Banking, Finance and own at least 50% of US industry. Leave aside the UK and EU at close to 60% to 80%.

The Khazars also control over 80% plus of the World’s “Money”,

US$, Euro, Can$, Aus$, NZ$, GBP, British Commonwealth, Yen, HK$, Sing$, GCC Arab Petro$’s, African Fr., etc.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

The problem is this could be ended quite easily by destroying the central banking system simultaneously , which would end these bankers faster than they think. These bankers have made huge mistakes and they themselves are overdrawn and only use creative bookkeeping to hide their losses. Their plans are falling apart and why they forced the US to impose the sanctions bill, learn that even they are falling apart. The marker against them will come due and they won’t like the payment plan.

“…Iran is no threat to Russia ..”

This is the bottom line for Iran’s survival.

Iran needs to reach a peace agreement with US and Israel.

Otherwise Iran will be destroyed by Putin for this reason:

Iran is a Geopolitical threat to Russia due to the Iran – Turkey Gas Pipeline and the proposed Iran – Iraq – Syria oil and gas pipeline to Cyprus and the EU.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

Iran needs nothing but the current alliances it has with Russia and China since neither the US nor Israel can bargain in good faith and have nothing to offer. Just a hard reality they have to live with both are dying and becoming irrelevant in this changing world.

Iran is really no threat to a gas or oil pipeline since they are working with the Russians in a partnership you really need to learn more of what is going on and is going to happen.

Russia and China is also working on another pipeline going east- west part of the SCO , so there will be huge energy cooperation going on with that group ,somehow you missed this and really you need to learn more.

More

Terra Cotta Woolpuller
“…Iran needs nothing but the current alliances it has with Russia and China…”

China is an important partner for Iran however Russia is not.

Any country that supports Putin – Russia eventually gets Blitzkrieg-ed because Putin (best friends with Netanyahu) allows it on behalf of Israel.

After Syria is completely destroyed, Iran is next in the queue to be destroyed by Putin.

“…US nor Israel can bargain in good faith and have nothing to offer. …”

Iran has to undergo major change before it will be offered anything but destruction.

“…Iran is really no threat to a gas or oil pipeline since they are working with the Russians…”

Yeah like what, LoL:))) Ah yes, destruction of Iran.

Iran is a threat to Russia by supplying gas to Turkey and the EU and that project is underway:

Iran will build its own pipeline to Turkey and take away Russia’s 2nd largest oil and gas customer. Total just announced a US$1 Billion towards development of the South Pars gas field.

http://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Total-Ready-To-Bet-1B-On-Iranian-Gas-Field.html

If Russia manages to build Turkstream, the competition with Iran will cause a severe price drop and both countries will make minimum profits.

“…Russia and China is also working on another pipeline going east- west…”

What pipeline?

The deals signed by Putin with China for US$400 Billion plus another US$100 Billion to US$200 Billion have turned out to be hot air.

Israel maybe the overlord of the US led “Terror Axis” countries.

However it is primarily people who profess the Islamic faith that have carried out the work in progress of the destruction of Syria.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

Yes even Jews practice the same Wahhabi style practices found in the Talmudh and they are not much different from the other and have now come under the thumb of both Russia and the US and told to go sit in the corner with their pathetic paranoid garbage during the latest meeting.

The ones professing this Islamic problem and claiming this is the media since many are just there for the US/Israel/Saudi/GCC money and no real Caliphate since Shimon Elliot was a scam by Israel aka Abu Bakr Baghdadi talk about a fake name.This has been the biggest media con job ever seen, they now change their tune, fake news, fake Islamist Caliphate.

The problem has been the Sauds and Israel both hate Iran and the US decided to help concoct this phony sectarian violence in the first place even they failed to create that within the target countries and only made the more unified.

Israel is nothing in this world and they will lose the Jawlaan Heights since it was never really theirs ever. Check Google maps and see where it will be and other settlements will be seized the banker elites sold much of the area to the church and the UN long ago.

“…have now come under the thumb of both Russia and the US…”

It is the other way around, Putin – Russia and Trump – USA are under their thumb.

Putin is a toad and a traitor to the Russian nation. Only a toad would invite rats into their home unless he wishes it to be destroyed.

Moshe Vyacheslav Kantor in a meeting with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president said of these people:

“They should come here, to Russia. We are ready to accept them.”

Putin’s army of Khazar Billionaires who started with nothing and corruptly acquired Russian State assets now own large part of the Russian economy.

‘Palestine – Gaza: Putin has done nothing’

This is one of your ‘facts’ of contention?
No, this is a ridiculous and pointless red herring.
Why would the Russian Federation ever be remotely involved with the Gaza strip territory? Are they they in any way affiliated or allied? Err, no. Gaza is run by Hamas, an off-shoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, a fundamentalist Sunni organization in conflict with Egyptian state administrations since 1930’s, there is absolutely no logical link and no joint interests involved at all.

You are short sighted.Supporting sanctions on NK isn’t China and Russia supporting the USA sh*t.Its talking ammunition away from it.The US likes to go shouting around that it “stumbled” into a war because it got blocked at the UN for trying to resolve X Y and Z peacefully.If these sanctions were a call to bomb , be rest assured it would have been blocked by both countries.

Putin allowed US wars because it increases the price of Oil and Gas.

2001 US$22 – Oil Price Pre 9/11
2002 US$30 – Oil Price Afghan bombing and invasion
2003 / 2004 – US$40 – US$50 Oil Price Iraq bombing and invasion
2005 US$60 – Oil Price due to increased demand from India and China
2006 US$70 – US$80 Oil Price due to Israel Lebanon conflict
2008 US$80 – US$85 Oil Price due to Turkey incursion into Iraq Kurd area
2008 US$100 – US$140 Oil Price due to potential US Israel war with Iran
2010 US$80 – Oil Price as global tensions reduce
2011 US$90 – US$110 Oil Price increase due to potential Libya conflict

2017 US$50 – Oil Price – Russia has to sell its oil at around US$40 for long term 3 year / 7 year contract to large customers.

Iran will be destroyed by Putin as it is a threat to Russian Oil and Gas exports to Turkey.

Russell A Wilson

Putin did not allow anything because at the time he was to busy with rebuilding Russia after the disintergation of the USSR. If you look up various UN Speeches by Russia and Iran you will realize they are a threat to no one. The speeches from US and UK only preach violence. It is a known fact that all the US and UK do is bring guns, Russia and China bring their cheque books. I dare you to look it up.

More

Russell A Wilson

Yes, Putin – Russia preach the “Negotiations” ideology, “Talk”.

Agree the US – UK – NATO practice “War”.

The result was the “Wars” made Russia super rich with record all time high income from Oil and Gas Price

Do not agree with Russia brings its cheque book because Putin’s cabal do not invest, they loot and plunder though not as wildly in the Yeltsin era.

China does bring its cheque book which is why it is rapidly developing economically compared to Russia.

I’ve already countered u before on this Russia 2010 shit!

U just make up shit as u go! Assuming u know whats what due to actions or inactions!
Russia is THERE!
Why was USA late in both ww1 and ww2?
Opportunism perhaps?
There will always be reasons for and against!
Syria DID NOT have a problem until 2014! This is when ISIS really took off!
This is when Kiev had its coup! (around Feb)
Russia dealt with that and later came into Syria when it saw it needed to!
Keep in mind Russia had a lot against it! Western media demonising them for allegedly shooting down MH17, sanctions, oil prices etc!
But still, they came! With a GDP equal to Italy, they are there MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
And what are u doing???
Sitting there taking the piss!

Your comments can be easily countered!
It seems to me u are butt hurt that the tide has turned and Russia and Syria are winning! Yet all u do is sit here and complain about the “what if’s and buts”! Dude, in life, people like this are called “victims”. U have a “victims” mentality!

No mistaken belief, if those countries do not support the US – Israel then they have to seek Arms or Protection from Russia.

Putin – Russia has an unbreakable history of allowing countries to be destroyed.

Its better to be in the US – Israel orbit than to be destroyed as a country.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

Russia has tried diplomacy with the US and as has China both are becoming short with the US and there will be no future warnings but action to US action, which the US can ill afford if it pursues this path it’s on. Time for Soft Diplomacy is coming to an end.

“…Russia has tried diplomacy with the US and as has China…”

If a country wants to survive intact without being destroyed they need to reach an accord with the USA and Israel.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

Both Israel and USA are in a stronger position than countries like Iran.

Iran at peace with USA – Israel would have peace, stability, growing economy, better living standards for its people instead of being at conflict with them.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

That is one lie you should never tell since the weaknesses are obvious to even the world. The ones who need this disturbance is the US and Israel while they carry out genocide in the name of their fake war on terrorism by genociding Arabs so Israel can grow which is a violation of human rights. Israel wants this so they can continue their genocide in the region without too many prying eyes. The world was actually supporting a full Palestinian state since the 90’s and were going to enforce it in early 2000 but kept being delayed by US and Israel intervention.

More

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

Human Rights are ignored all the time if a weaker nation is involved.

Throughout history stronger nations have been growing by destroying weaker nations.

The USA grew by violating weaker nations, the Russian Empire grew by violating weaker nations. Many other countries did the same.

The only course open for Palestine is a Federation with Israel otherwise within a 100 years almost all the land of Palestine will have been confiscated.

Back to Iran, it has to decided if it wants to be destroyed or not.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

“Iran at peace with USA – Israel”..By peace you mean
1)Installing a western controlled puppet government.
2)Allowing foreign firms to completely exploit its natural resources with little benefit to the ordinary Iranian people.
3)Open the country up to US bases

In other words complete lost of independence..You do realize that some counties want to maintain some element of sovereignty right?

More

Turbofan
Very good response, the best so far.

Depends on the accord Iran – US agree.

“…1)Installing a western controlled puppet government….”

The US and the west tolerate Despotic Governments in order to meet mutual goals usually in Military, Business and Financial matters.

“…2)Allowing foreign firms to completely exploit its natural resources with little benefit to the ordinary Iranian people….”

Look at Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, etc., they are rolling in money from exploitation of its Oil and Gas resources with their “Citizens” living in high standards.

Iran has almost 5% of the world’s resources if developed properly would benefit by recycling its income to develop its Economy, Infrastructure, Living Standards, etc.

“…3)Open the country up to US bases…”

This is not necessary however Iranian ports can welcome US Naval ships like the UAE does.

“…some counties want to maintain some element of sovereignty right?…”

Yes, this is very true, so the choice is either be in turmoil, sanctions and suppressed people, poorly performing economy or the opposite. No sanctions, freer society (from religious point of view) thriving developing economy.

Che Gueverra taking the words of Emiliano Zapata said

Countries that oppose the US – Israel get destroyed.

The countries in the US – Israel orbit fare better economically, better living standards, etc.

The US sanctions are illegal….

John Mason

Russia can always deploy planes in Iran if they are prepared to make adjustments to their constitution or Russia could loan the planes, bound to be a work arround the UN sanction or they can do what the US does on a regular basis and ignore the UN. Israel ignored a UN Resolution demanding it stop its’ occupation of Palestinian territory, if they can with the US,UK, France then so can other UN Member states.

Jesus

Russia will sell aircraft to Iran before 2020, sanctions are counterproductive when the other side ignores them and are unaffected by them.
Russia says to US in a diplomatic tone, I will sell Suk aircraft to Iran. What are you going to do about it?…except run your mouth?

Julius Meinel

Iran purchasing 38 S0-30 will have only limited impact on its ability to defend the country against
the most likely military foes (US/ Israel or Saudi Arabia supported by either
of the two chief villains); it would be a lot more useful for them if they could have the Iskander and Kaliber systems ( preferably the submarine version ones). They would need to former to destroy the US and SA bases around the western part of the Gulf and the latter to destroy the US strategic airbase at Diego Garcia the staging area where the strategic bombers of the first attack wave will take off from.

Whether they have 30 or even 60 4++ generation fighters will not make much
of difference for Iran if confronted with the US or Israel military might. Having around 100 Kalibers and battalion of Iskander missiles ( 24 missiles ) however, might given the possibility to
defang the adversary located around the Gulf states from the safety of their
own territory.

I suspect Russian wants to keep Israel quiet ( for now) and
that explains why they are not willing to give Iranians the high end military
technology they have. Production constrains might be a valid secondary reason.

grumpy_carpenter

Whether they are effective or not depends on how you use the aircraft. No one in the world can go toe to toe with the USA / Israel / NATO contesting airspace air to air but as missile platforms as part of a A2-AD system that includes air defences and anti-shipping defences they could be very adventageous

Tudor Miron

Do you really believe that USA/Israel/Nato are superior (to anyone) air to air? Would you give us some details? Is it about numbers or technology? Or pilot quality? Or how smart you are?

grumpy_carpenter

I’m talking about systems not individual pilot skills, or who has the better aircraft or technologies….I’ll leave that to the fanboys.

The USA and allies have had a doctrine of achieving air superiority and projecting power worldwide through sea power. They are very good at it and to deny this is living in a fantasy.

Russia, China and Iran have a doctrine of A2-AD. It’s a system designed to counter US air and naval superiority.

Why would any of these countries go toe to toe with the USA and allies when they have a strategy that has a far better chance of success than going toe to toe with richer, more populous countries who have been developing their air/sea doctrine for 70 years?

I’m sure the USA would love Iran to try to compete toe to toe with the USA et al ….. it makes for a sure victory for them ….. but I think the Iranians would be best served spending on cheaper more numerous aircraft that work as missile platforms for ground based radar rather than the latest greatest strike or air superiority aircraft the Russians have to offer.

Tudor Miron

Good points, thank you. It boils down to projecting power (aggressive) and A2-AD doctrine (defensive). But politics aside A2-AD will still involve toe to toe air engagements. There will be no air superiority of US/Israel/Nato AF over skys of Russia (even if it takes help of ground assets) that’s my point. Within last couple of years the world discovered that US/Israel supposed air superiority over ME doesn’t grant them the right to keep destroying countries one by one. Look… 100 years is a short time. In its entire history US never managed to actually win a war against even B level opponents. The only B level they managed to beat is Iraq. That’s why they did it twice – it felt good winning against relatively large country. It also helped erasing the memories of Vietnam and Korean war where US proved unable to occupy and control more than half of Korean peninsula.
US proved that they are good at keeping millitary control over once occupied territories (Japan, Germany to name a few) but that’s due to internal inability of involved countries to stand for their souvereignity. Various reasons for that but most can be seen in protocols of Elders of Zion. It was a funny discussion 100 years ago if this pamflet is real and actually written by Zionists. Now, when it is evident that most of this lil booklet is already implemented it doesn’t matter if it was fake or not or is it?

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

The problem is NATO won’t go toe to toe with the Russian Fighters since they are better pilots in better planes Mig 31 is 1300 kph faster and 2-3 generations ahead of the F-18 E the US flies. the Multi Nation funded F-35 has been proven to be a waste of money so far and doesn’t deliver on many points. The belief you’re working on about the capabilities of NATO is preposterous there is a huge difference not being addressed and overlooked.

Jesus

I do not think Israel plays a part in Russian decisions on this matter, I think production facilities can produce around 20 aircraft a year, considering the other lineup of Suk aircraft.
The Russian Air Force is buying 10 Suk 35 for 2017, and they have to fulfill the Chinese contract of 24 planes.
The S300 will defend important targets, not the entire country, having 50 Suk-35 will enhance air defenses considerably, since it is superior to any generation 4 aircraft fielded by US, Israel or s. Arabia. Iranian domestic missiles would create similar havoc in the gulf as the Iskanders would, albeit not as accurately and delivering similar payloads. Instead of 24 Iskander and reloads, Iran can fire hundreds of domestic missiles against costal installations on the Arabian peninsula with similar effects.

Tudor Miron

I will say one thing… Su-27SM3 is a very good and capable fighter jet. Its about 2 times more effective than standard Su-27 in air-air and 3 times more effective in air-ground mode. Airframe allows 3t. more load than standard Su-27. Engines have higher thrust and longer life span between rebuilds.
They don’t have thrust vectoring but they are cheaper than Su-30/35 and that makes sense. http://www.russianarms.ru/forum/index.php?topic=13797.0

Jesus

Yes the Suk 27SM3 is a good plane, Iranians need an air superiority fighter to take care of the Saudi F-15s and provide some credible deterrent against F22’s; Suk 35M can fit that bill, however, they need more than 14.
50 Suk-35 at a base price of 3-5 billion would provide Iran with capable air superiority long range fighter.

Gabriel Hollows

I’d day, assuming the Su-27SM3 to be considerably cheaper than the Su-30/35 it’s more convenient to have a bunch of the former than a few of the latter.

If US have sanctioned Russia then Russia should have to sanction US and Israel both together. Tit for tat. Russia is not begging for any thing from US. Russia is a member of own block of countries consists of Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Iran, Brazil, Columbia, Syria etc. Those countries that trust in US and Israel will never come out from stone age.

grumpy_carpenter

Just out of curiosity what Russian products or services provided to the US and Israel would you bar as a sanction?

Who do these sanctions hurt more? The USA by not having the products or Russia by not getting paid. No sense in cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Russia has been trade sanctioned and embargoed by the west since the 1917 revolution. The whole Gulag system was built in the 1920’s as a way raising hard currency by selling resources. (The system was there in the TSAR’s day but the Soviets moneterized it) And vast amounts of Russian art and treasure were sold to the west through Armand Hammer.

The Russians will find a way to deal with sanctions without adding self inflicted damage to the pain. Tit for tat sanctions might save face but the real objective is to survive and win not to save face.

“…Who do these sanctions hurt more?…”

These sanctions do not hurt the USA because Putin – Russia policy is to continue selling Resources, Goods and Services to the USA or other countries and get US$ payment of which at least 30% to 40% is siphoned offshore.

Everything you write stacks up based on the “Old World Order”.

However you cannot underestimate the Khazar people, they are learning all the time and developing constantly and planning years or decades, maybe centuries ahead.

Since the world started developing technologically, say as a benchmark after 1800 onward, the game has been modified into the “New World Order”.

Khazar people have grasped the “New World Order” and driven it forward, after the destruction of the weakest Empires, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Belgian, German, Ottoman., etc.

Finally through to first hand destruction of the Russian Empire and creation of the USSR and then its destruction.

Their new Empire is slowly taking shape in Eastern Europe with its target, the Russian Federation.

SU-27 SM3 dont have ECM pods like Su 30SM or Su35…beside SU-30SM have the most modern Zhuk-AE radar( AESA)…IRAN also need Bastion-p antiship missile for ground base and Kalibr antiship for Kilo Class submarine( both include)….

Tudor Miron

They surely have it – check out the link I provided above. ECM is used effectively starting from Su-27. Remember Donald Cook advantures in Black Sea? That was an old Su-24 bomber. One can load various pods (targeting/ECM etc) it is a matter of integration. Standard Su-27 electronics suit didn’t allow connection of latest tech. pods. SM3 has roughly the same avionics/electronics suit as 30/35 family.

Brad Isherwood

Russia may not be assembly line build Su 27 SM3,….they could restart that.
Su 27SM3 is Gen 4++ mod with vector nozzles and the high thrust engines.
China and Iran could R&D that….China is decades ahead since it copied, extorted,bribed
Russian techs/engineers on the previous Su 27 contract.

Iran home built a S 300 system after Putin bowed to Netanyahu and delayed that contract.
Iran has dazzling Missile technology.
They are behind on aircraft building, …when though their copy of Seacobra Helicopter and TOW missiles was successful. .if not decades late.

Iran could build a Su 27 SM3 if pushed to it.
Question is….in the age of robotics and AI ….Maybe you go AI Drone with standoff missiles which can beat F 35 or F 22.

The defender has the advantage. …unless Intel coverage is blinded by C4I attack.
That being EMP or direct Sat destruction LEO.

If I’m Iran….I go for the AI Drone and tiered SAM defence.
I might take some losses…yet my attrition ratio maybe high enough to blunt Invasion.

Do you know why SU 30 has the canards in front of the main wings, but SU 35 doesn’t? Was it a failed experiment or something?

Tudor Miron

That’s an easy one :) Canards (additional winglets) in front of the main wing planes appeared when there was a need for more lift as was the case with Su-33 naval flanker. Canards do not create significant lift themself as their surface area is small compearing to main surfaces. What they do is create strong vortices (which is essentially air moving at significantly higher speed than overall flow around the jet) that help delay flow separation from main lift surfaces at higher angles of attack (AoA) and in general improve lift characteristics. Vortices come at the expense of induced drag. Even visually the plane appears more “dirty” from aero point of view. In the case of Su-33 and later Su-30 we have effectively same airframe (aerodynamics) as Su-27 (but strenghtened structurally to support higher aerodynamic forces) and canards are sort of add ons.
With Su-35 there’s little visual difference betweeen Su-27 and 35. However deep redesign of plane surfaces allowed to achieve even higher aerodynamic quality than S-30 (with its canards) without resorting to canards. Overall it’s one of the reasons behind higher cruise speed (one of 5th gen definitions) of Su-35 compearing to Su-30.
Check this interview
https://youtu.be/-roVMD6pdt0
English is not easily heard but one can get an idea of how a professional mil. test pilot is seeing this things. As he said – keeping the flow symmetrical is the main thing.

Solomon Krupacek

for emotive haters.

russia does not want new sanctions.

more importanr is the fact, that the nuclear deal with iran is checked in the usa every 6 months. every 6 montths the actual president signes, that iran does not violate the conditions. in july trump had to sign, beacuse everything was OK.
IF irna buys those modern planes, will violate the deal. and this is not good also for russia, because r. needs the money from businesses with iran. therefore iran will not get modern weapons.

EL ZORRO

Sanctions on Russia have assisted its economy. They should be considered tariffs imposed from abroad. Domestic demand has gone up as Russian firms – rather than western ones – are doing the investing. Banks are not borrowing from ZIONIST CENTRAL BANKING MAFIA or western creditors, so the financial sector has become more self-sufficient. Agricultural production has increased monstrously as foreign products are off the shelves. Without foreign competition, a huge hole has opened for local entrepreneurship.

Solomon Krupacek

be sure, the sanctions are very painful for russia.

but i wrote now about sanctions against iran. if iran violates the deal, everything turns back to former stage. and in this case also russia can not cope with them.

Iran will be next in the queue for destruction by Putin – Russia because they are a Geopolitical threat to Russia due to the Iran – Turkey Gas Pipeline and the proposed Iran – Iraq – Syria oil and gas pipeline to Cyprus and the EU.

One reason Putin cannot sell SU30 to Iran is because of objections by Netanyahu – Israel.

Its better for Iran to drop its Nuclear “Research” and Missile “Development” and reach an agreement for US and Israel to protect it from Putin – Russia.

Any country that supports Putin – Russia eventually gets Blitzkrieg-ed because Putin (best friends with Netanyahu) allows it on behalf of Israel by doing nothing or very little or wait and see what happens.

Iran:
After Syria is completely destroyed, Iran is next in the queue to be destroyed by Putin.

Syria:
Country that put its trust in Putin – Russia in 2010.

Russia did not protect Syria in 2010 / 2011 / 2012 / 2013 / 2014 / Jan to Oct 2015. Jan to now 2017.

As a result:
Syria 500,000 killed, 1.9 million injured, 6 million displaced or refugees, infrastructure destroyed, economy trashed.

Like how you mention 2 countries like Germany and Japan they were always leading economies even back then , what has changed.

Putin – Russia entered into Syria in October 2015 and withdrew majority of its forces by December 2016.

The only reason Putin – Russia entered Syria in October 2015 to December 2016 was to prevent the fall of Mr Assad’s Government which would have allowed the Saudi Qatar oil and gas pipeline to be built across Syria.

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

Putin was only asked for military support September 30 2015 , but had politically supported Syria prior to that. Now what you are trying to say that the US intentionally did everything to create the problems by abusing it’s position at the UNSC in favor of Israel wishes and ambitions seems about right.

Russia never had many troops in the region other than to establish their bases and most were withdrawal of units being replaced, you really need to follow what has went on. Syria had more control of the country and Russia didn’t need the extra manpower at the bases.

The Saudi-Qatar pipeline was just a failed ambition since there was no way the project was going to work. The alleged Fall never happened because Assad never followed stupid talking heads from the policy think tanks , since they are 90% inaccurate in gauging the public in that regard.

Israel seems like a weak nation and very insecure to need the US to help it to survive with it’s big empty talk of being powerful enough to attack it’s neighbors and that has always been an actual joke.

What exactly has the Iranian Air Force done against anyone to earn these UN sanctions. Looks like Russia’s appeasement policies vs the West have once again only limited their own options. Russia goes slow-slow on weapons sales to Iran in order to please their Israeli friends, and what did it get them: Israel’s AIPAC lobby went to the mat to push the latest anti-Russian sanctions through in Washington.
