How do the military capabilities of Iran and Israel stack up? on.ft.com/3W0ko7H
@FT BIG MISTAKE !!!!!! Nobody knows how modern is Iranian "warfare tools" ! Nobody... except Iran itself. We're not playing poker anymore... Better not to raise the stakes to see their hand....
FT downplayed Russian military capabilities in 2022. How’d that work out? The truth is that Iran has more STEM graduates per capita than any other nation and we do not know the full scope of their capabilities in a war. Sanctioned since 1979, Iran has innovated a great deal of technology domestically in isolation.
@FT There's a flaw, there: israel is not just Israel, you should add USA, GB, France, etc.
@FT How is a country like Iran under constant US sanctions even able to maintain all this old American kit? 2/3 of it must be junk.
@FT The claim that the F-35 is the "most advanced" fighter is quite subjective. It true it's among the most advanced 5th generation aircraft that Iran lacks, but which one 5th generation fighter is "the most advanced" is disputable.
@FT I think Israel can mobilize nearly 2m troops within a fairly short period of time. At one point they could mobile more troops than all of the armies combined of the countries that border it and this was before Syria was decimated.
