According to Al Jazeera News, as the United States seeks to extend the nuclear arms embargo on Iran and the Gulf region, the seven countries of the Cooperation Council composed of Arab countries have also submitted a request to extend the arms embargo on Iran. The United Nations arms embargo on Iran will end on October 18 this year.
The Russian Satellite News Agency reported that the American magazine "Iran Circles the Four Major Fighters of China and Russia: Must Be Able to Resist the Israeli Air Force and Cover the Military Observation of the Iranian Rocket Force" said that after the lifting of the Iranian arms embargo, Iran will buy Chinese and Russian fighter jets.
Russia can supply Su-30 and MiG-35 fighters, we have J-10 and Thunder Dragon fighters. According to the analysis, Iran prefers the J-10 fighter, because the Su-30 fighter has relatively strong attack capability and is an advanced heavy carrier-based fighter. However, Iran does not need its air force to actively attack nearby Patriot and THAAD missile positions. Iran's offensive forces include ballistic ships, cruise ships and long-range missile launchers.
What Iran needs is an air superiority fighter capable of providing air cover for Iran's missiles and missile-launching forces. Weapons that can compete in the air with the F-16, F-15 and even the F-35. Obviously, it is difficult for both the MiG-35 and the Thunder Dragon fighters to perform such tasks. What Iran wants to suppress is the U.S. and Israeli air forces, something that conventional fighters struggle to do.
Only the fourth-generation J-10C fighter has such capabilities. Since its introduction, the J-10 has been aimed at interception and air control. The J-10C has a large nose and can be equipped with large-caliber radar, large-caliber optoelectronic systems and advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, capable of launching medium-range air-to-air missiles at any position and position. Direction. Therefore, the American magazine "Military Watch" believes that Iran's procurement target is the J-10C fourth-generation fighter.
If the United States wants to extend the arms embargo on Iran, it needs the support of at least nine of the 15 members of the Security Council. But both China and Russia have made it clear that they do not support the extension of the arms embargo on Iran and have veto power on the issue. Although the United States, France, Britain and Germany believe that the extension of the embargo is correct, they have different views.
The United States, the United Kingdom, France and other countries have demanded that the arms embargo on Iran be maintained. The first step is to continue to weaken Iran's military power and prepare for future operations. The second is to control the development of Iran's military forces, so that the United States, Britain and other countries can control Iran with only a small amount of force, and mobilize the main forces in the Indo-Pacific and European regions.
Once the Iranian arms embargo is lifted, J-10C fighter jets, S-300 air defense missiles, electronic warfare systems, various anti-ship missiles, and advanced ships and even submarines will enter Iran. Next, countries such as the United States and Britain must control their major powers in the Middle East in order to continue to blockade Iran. This will also have a significant impact on US and British military investments in other areas.
The Iranian army's strengths are missiles and cruisers, and its weaknesses are fighter jets, advanced anti-ship missiles and submarines. When Iran acquired advanced submarines, long-range supersonic anti-ship missiles and fourth-generation fighters for air superiority, even U.S. aircraft carriers were afraid to use them anymore. Just cross the Strait of Hormuz and go to the Persian Gulf.
