Trade and economic cooperation between the two near neighbors is accelerating to a greater volume.
Russia will buy Iranian oil, and possibly gas from this year.
If only Russia found the courage to lease, rent or even sell defensive military hardware to Iran so that the strategic relationship with the near neighbor becomes more HOLISTIC/REALISTIC---scenario..why increase trade and economic cooperation if there is the possibility that both of the neighbors will be attacked and damaged?
Thus negating the success of the increased cooperation.
Russia must sell cheaper air-defense equipment to Iran as well as EW equipment AND modern jet fighters such as the SU-30MKK.....available TO the airforces of People's Liberation Army Air Force Indonesian Air Force Uganda People's Defence Force Venezuelan Air Force Vietnam People's Air Force.
Iran's airforce is a joke, neglected as it is by the mullah's. ......IT produces a few fighters based on the copy of the F-5/20 Tiger-shark which is a plane designed in 1957 by the USA. Let Iran license build and fly modern current Russian jet fighters.
Iran should be considered as a first line of defense upon any subsequent attack on Russia.(Republican Spain in 1936--39)
