    Originally posted by aldra I mean sure, they have some of the same responsibilities, but the IRGC's scope is much wider. They're more or less a parallel military

    You have NO FUCKING IDEA what you are talking about. You are extrapolating from Wikipedia.

    He has no idea what he is talking about. And he tells me I am wrong when I am 100% right.

    I could discuss neuroscience and you would say I make no sense.

    It's not because I make no sense it's because you have no understanding of the topic.

    Turn your Google off and we can discuss terminal ballistics. But that wouldn't make sense to you either.

    I'm not going to spend any time addressing you ever again. You are an unworthy student.

    Originally posted by aldra I thought it was fairly clear:


    The naval drills weren't as significant as media makes them out to be.
    The statement that the US is no longer able to act without recourse in the Middle East is related to a number of mostly-gradual developments.

    You literally have no idea what you are talking about. Literally.

    Originally posted by aldra Try to be less wrong then. What you're saying doesn't make any sense. The navy, regular military or IRGC, is not nearly as significant to Iranian military doctrine or force planning as you seem to imply.

    You have no fucking idea what you're talking about and you want to pretend to be knowledgeable for some unknown reason.

    You are not wanted you are not needed, fuck off.

    Aldra you are pissing me the fuck off by telling me I am wrong when I am not and I am not going to discuss anything with you at any point now or in to the future.

    India had placed orders for 272 Su-30 fighter jets over a period of 10-15 years in different batches and senior officers feel that the number of planes acquired so far would be enough for the service's heavy-weight aircraft requirement.

    The 21 MiG 29s that the Indian Air Force is planning to acquire are from Russia which has offered to sell these planes to help the Air Force to meet its requirement of new fighters

    India is the largest buyer of Russian military hardware, with the latest purchase being a quietly signed $5 billion deal for Russian S-400 surface to air missile systems last fall. The two countries also signed eight agreements covering space, nuclear energy and railways in October.

    Originally posted by aldra Those are two separate things, the naval drills weren't actually that significant - from memory Russia sent a missile frigate and China sent a few SIGINT ships

    What are you talking about?

    From air defense systems to nuclear submarines, the Soviet Union has enjoyed a longstanding, profitable defense export relationship with India. However, both the USSR and its Russian successor state have historically struggled to break into the Indian small arms market.

    NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India hopes to soon start full operations at a portion of Iran’s port of Chabahar as the two countries are close to resolving various disputes including financing, the country’s roads minister said on Tuesday.

    The commander of Iran's navy has warned that the U.S. has no business in Middle Eastern waters after his forces held joint naval drills with Russia and China.

    You can safely assume the reason the IRGC has a navy is because they are guaranteed certain death in times of war, and normal military people can't deal with it.

    Comparable to SAS circa 1955. Assumed to have a battlefield survivability of two weeks or less. Most people who join the military assume they may die, not that they will. Not many people are prepared to go to guaranteed death.

    Originally posted by aldra Do the CIA and FBI have their own navy and air force?

    The CIA has an Air Force. This is not secret.

    Originally posted by aldra lol it's not analogous to the CIA

    IRGC is analagous to the CIA and and also the FBI.

    It has a domestic security role, a foreign intelligence role and a global political outreach role.

    I don't know if this will work. These types of killings only seem to work against groups that are very low tech to the point of relying exclusively on guerrilla and assymetrical warfare capabilities. Groups that need a figurehead.

    Iran has jets and tanks and stuff.

    Qassem Soleimani, the leader of Iran's elite Quds Force, was killed late Thursday in a U.S. airstrike that targeted a convoy near the airport in Baghdad.

    Do you think that if North Korea wasn't demonised through propaganda that conscription would work in South Korea?

    "[The perception is] they came from a poor country and they are brainwashed by the dictator," she said.

    "But we also were brainwashed [to believe] that the North Koreans are one of the big enemies for us."
