Re: Iran military parade

Its time to revive this the discussion about Iran.

I put google Earth in play, a very interesting tool. Look at the following coordinates: 27° 9'22.99"N 56°10'6.38"E

A pretty large Military area with a Navy base, note the large number of wessles!

An airport, but interestingly no airplains around, only some helicopters. It seams they have their planes parked in few large hangars, not very wise.

An interesting hoovercraft base next zu the airport wicht 6 large and 1 smaller crafts stationed there. Why do the iranians need hoovercrafts? Are the whaters not deep enough for regular ships or do they plan an Invasion?

Re: Iran military parade

You have to remember when you google up those satilaite sites those pics are at least a year old. And in most cases older.

Why do the Iranians need hovercraft? Perhaps to transport personell to the oil platforms in the Gulf.

Re: Iran military parade

Yeah, what in the world is with Iran? They have so many good-looking projects, but they are on trucks........
When they say they have good R&D, you've got to wonder...... (When you have the ability to produce spare parts, don't you have also the ability to reproduce the plane?)

And notice their MLRS, the trucks that they lay on are rather..............old.
Also, their tanks' top look..............rather clean and simple.

IMO if a country can afford to spend 4+ billion/year on their military, I think they can afford to develop and build tanks.

The Iraq's military was only large on paper. Saddam rode that country right into the ground. When Saddam Hussein first took power in 1979, Iraq had $36 billion cash reserves and no long-term foreign debt. Thats' $36 billion USD in 1979 money. Saddam went to war the following year and burnt $120 billion alone on first 4 years of Iran-Iraq war. By war's end Iraq owed $27 billion to Western countries and $50 billion to Gulf States, with inflation running at 40%. So what does Saddam do? Start another war by invading Kuwait.

While the elite Republican Guards were better equipped, the conscript Iraqi infantryman was given as few as 4 live rounds for target pratice during basic training.

Iran 2008 Budget is (USD)$305 Billion
and according to the CIA Iran 2007 GDP(PPP) was (USD)$850 Billion and ranked 15th in the world
and International Institute for Strategic Studies estimated Iran's 2005 defense budget at $6.3 billion

lets compare that to some other country's

Saudi Arabia budget is about $150 billion
CIA has the Saudi GDP(PPP) at $550 Billion
in 2008 Saudi Arabia will spend over $31 BILLION on its military

Turkeys budget is $180 Billion
Turkey spent almost $15 billion on its military in 2007


This shows money doesn't mean anything

Saudi Arabia is spending $31 Billion on its Military thats more than what India is spending witch is $25Billion
yet Iran can easily destroy the Saudis
