What Russian weapons may appear in Iran in the near future

August 20 2020 36

In mid-August 2020, the UN Security Council rejected a draft US resolution to extend the arms embargo against Iran for 13 years. The embargo, according to the "nuclear deal" (JCPOA - Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), approved in 2015, will end on October 18, 2020.

It should be noted that out of 15 members of the UN Security Council (5 permanent and 10 non-permanent), only the United States and the Dominican Republic supported the resolution. Russia and China spoke out against. The remaining 11 countries abstained altogether.

Thus, a very large market for the sale of weapons will soon appear on the planet, which is extremely important during the international economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the activities of European countries in the Iranian market will be extremely difficult due to the unilateral American sanctions, which Washington introduced in advance in 2018. Therefore, the main suppliers of weapons to Iran, no doubt, will be Russia and China, which are already under US sanctions pressure.

In any case, in the foreseeable future, Tehran will have a large number of various Russian weapons, since the Iranian Armed Forces are in serious need of rearmament. Even in those segments where Iran produces its own counterparts, its products do not compete with Russian samples for obvious reasons.

Tehran needs to replace almost everything. More than 300 fighters, about 120 transport aircraft, about 1000 tanks, submarines and surface ships, helicopters, air defense, various artillery, BMP, armored fighting vehicles and even trucks. In the Armed Forces of Iran, there is a large mix-up and over the years a huge amount of morally and physically obsolete equipment.

There is a high probability that Iran will want to purchase more than 100 Su-30SM fighters and 1000 T-90 tanks from Russia, as well as modernize Su-24MK bombers, MiG-29 fighters and T-72S MBTs. Project 636 Varshavyanka low-noise diesel-electric submarines and new frigates, air defense systems and Yak-130 combat training aircraft, Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters, Bastion coastal mobile missile systems with Yakhont anti-ship missiles will definitely come in handy for Tehran. and other weapons.

The Iranian market is very promising, so Russia has a chance to make good money and support its the economy... But everything will rest on Tehran's financial capabilities.

The only question is, will Iran have enough money? Dollars are not honored, euros are not received ...

  Oil at dumping prices. So, most likely, China will be the seller. He received US sanctions by about 50%.
  If this is the case, the oil price will not rise for a long time. If the price remains at the level of 45-50 dollars, then Russia will hardly, but withstand. China is generally in chocolate (oil is cheap). The shale producers of America and the Saud will have the worst. So, in the long term, this will lead to even greater tension in the Middle East affairs. And in the world too. The US-China trade wars will continue, while Russia will remain under sanctions.
  The results of the voting are becoming clear. 11 countries that abstained, this is according to the principle "both want and inject." I would like to have cheap oil and are afraid of falling under US sanctions. In this respect, Russia and China have nothing to lose. The sanctioned gun has already fired. The Americans themselves do not risk imposing comprehensive sanctions. There is no risk at this stage. What will happen next is a dark matter.

    Yes, America is just the least. The US budget, unlike Russia, for example, is not built on oil and gas and its share there is scanty. So, the United States will not stand it "with difficulty", but generally without any special problems. And the shale producers are hedged there, in case of bankruptcy nothing terrible will happen. And opening and closing shale wells there is quite simple. As soon as the profitability point passes (and it inexorably decreases with the development of technologies), the well reopens very quickly. Well, besides shale, there is also a lot of ordinary oil.

      We have already spoken about shale and hedging. There is no point in repeating. The budget is also interesting. Even at prices of $ 30, Russia's GDP did not fall by 25-30%.

        So what exactly is “most of all” if the share of oil and gas in the budget is scanty? Russia, of course, will not go bankrupt either, but the drop in living standards will be felt (in principle, already) incomparably stronger than in the United States.

        So why did the US GDP fall so much? More than in Russia ... And the number of unemployed jumped from 5 to 25%. For some reason, such a surge in unemployment has not been observed in Russia. It's strange. Was there a 35% drop in consumer demand in Russia too?
        
        American consumer spending in the second quarter of 2020 was down 34,6% at an annualized rate.
        
        https://www.rbc.ru/economics/30/07/2020/5f22bc5d9a79475c618f3376
        
        I'm tired of explaining that calculating GDP to determine the viability of an economy doesn't really matter.
        At low prices, shale producers will die. And no amount of hedging will help. Someone has to pay for broken pots anyway. Strange logic. Have you swelled billions of dollars, gone bankrupt and no one was hurt? Miracles, and nothing more.
        ------
        The question is posed somewhat differently. I am not interested in the US economy in this article. I am wondering who will rearm the Iranian army? Iran is heavily tied to Chinese weapons systems. Air defense, anti-ship complexes, electronic warfare. According to some reports, a couple of thousand Chinese military specialists are already in Iran. So Iran will sell oil to China at dumping prices. All this oil falls out of dollar circulation. States cannot afford this. Therefore, the simple conclusion is that trade wars and sanctions will continue. As well as tensions in the Middle East.
        Why drag Russia in here is not entirely clear to me. And we will see shale in the next six months or a year. I do not believe in his second incarnation. They will, of course. But not so zealously ...

        It depends on what is considered a victory. The Americans will definitely not annex Iran to the US overseas territories. But the fact that the power of the Ayatollahs will come to an end, as happened with the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, is quite possible. In this case, this result may well be called a victory ...

        I doubt it. The power of the Ayatollah is not based on violence. Of course, religious fanaticism is not good and does not cause any sympathy for me. But religion in Iran has strong roots. Almost the same as in Saudi Arabia. Just a slightly different concept (Shiites instead of Sunnis). At the moment, there are no reasons for a change of power. And the Persians will not agree to become a colony of America.
        It is unlikely that the United States shines in Iran. The Shah was already there. And there is no return to this yet.
        -----
        If we assume that the United States is pumping (stealing) Iraqi oil, then this can be considered a victory. Then we must admit that the goal of the States is free access to Iranian energy resources. But what about snot about "human rights"? Nice screen, but it doesn't work anymore.

        What does the song of the Italian partisans have to do with Iran? And the faces are really pretty (except for Ahmadinejad ). As for the stability of the Ayatollah regime, everything is very problematic here - unlike the SA, Iran is a very heterogeneous country in terms of ethnic composition and a special friendship between representatives of different countries. ethnic groups are not observed there. In addition, the difficult economic situation in Iran does not contribute to the stability of the government in any way; older citizens still remember the days of the Shah, when the Iranians lived much more prosperous than now. And, of course, failures in a war against an adversary equipped with more advanced weapons systems inevitably lead to dissatisfaction with the existing government. And in terms of military confrontation with the United States and / or with Israel, the Iranians cannot count on victories, they understand this very clearly, and therefore do not dare to respond to Israeli attacks on Iranian facilities on the territory of the former. Syria.

        Nobody is going to fight like that. All threaten from their dens. About the stability of power. I am certainly not a prophet. Moreover, in 1981 I could not have imagined that the Union would collapse in 1991. But at the moment, the Iranian government is stable and ... is modernizing the army. There is, of course, no chance against the States. But there are nuances.
        To bring Iraq to the denominator, the United States had to create a coalition grouping and prepare for almost six months. Now there are no such opportunities. You can bomb anything. But this is hardly the result that Washington is yearning for. So there shouldn't be a big war. But Iran is creating missiles (Chinese technology) and this is already making the neighbors nervous. How it began and who is to blame is too late to say.
        So any movement is fraught. Neither Korea nor Iran are going to limit themselves to "concern" and "indignation." Honestly, they'll kick back. And then the porridge will begin.

        And I'm not talking about weapons, but about the economy. To begin with, it is worth comparing the GDP figures of the United States and Russia. And it is GDP that speaks of the viability of the economy. While the fat one dries, the thin one dies. And how long has it been that oil prices have been steadily low - why are shale producers not dying? And the fact is that the cost of oil shale is steadily falling due to new technologies, and the oil shale industry is a very flexible thing - it can be easily closed and opened. So the “dying shale” is nothing more than the rosy dreams of Gazprom and Rosneft.

        It's better not to talk about slate. This method is for the most extreme case. During the entire existence of the shale revolution, it has never even reached self-sufficiency. You have too rosy an idea of this industry. There are continuous losses.
        By your logic, "how long have oil prices been stably low - why won't the Russian economy" break "?
        The dying of shale is my personal opinion, which does not in any way depend on the dreams of Gazprom.

        That's exactly what is better not. Gazprom has already disgraced itself with its ridicule and statements that oil shale is a scam, etc. Shale works at the limit of self-sufficiency, and there is still profit, even if the profit is small. As soon as this bar is passed, they close, then open again with the same ease. These are not Siberian heavy deposits. And yes, the cost is constantly decreasing due to the introduction of new technologies. Once they shouted that oil shale is damaging to the environment, very expensive compared to traditional oil and gas. Today, there is already an electric pulse technology, production is much more environmentally friendly and the cost has dropped almost 2 times. And your opinion is contrary to the opinion of the majority of economists (not Russian). And, of course, the Russian economy will not break so quickly. There is a constant decline in the standard of living, the sequestration of certain budget items, and they get out. In principle, you can generally live like in the DPRK, as they say, and people live in prison. The question is how much it will be possible to lower the standard of living and tighten the screws to a social explosion. All the same, Russia is not the DPRK, and no Rosgvardia may burst in the end, and no HSP will help.

        Nobody ever said that shale is a scam. They said it was economically unprofitable. The Bazhenov formation is being developed in Russia. But so far in scanty quantities. Because it's just not profitable yet.
        My opinion is supported by the ruin of shale companies in the States, and not by the opinion of Russian economists. And oil shale is really deadly for the environment. Not in the opinion of Russian scientists, but in the opinion of European legislators. In Europe, shale oil production is prohibited by law in many countries. Cost reduction has not yet reached the level of profitability. The US Energy Agency forecast that the oil price will be $ 40-45 per barrel, but an increase in shale oil production is not yet expected. There was some excitement in the summer. But it is not connected with the reasons you mentioned. And with the fact that shale producers received support from the OPEC + deal.

        I will repeat it again. I have heard the words “hydraulic fracturing”, PVA, “underground repairs” since childhood. That is, since the 60s. This was done by my father and he has a dozen copyright certificates on hydraulic fracturing. There is nothing fundamentally new here. There is a development of technology and technology. And this has always been seen as a temporary measure. Today, shale oil production is environmentally harmful and break-even at a price of $ 50-60 per barrel.

        Your information on oil shale and its damaging effects on the environment is very outdated. Today is not the 60s, and today in the United States, oil shale is being developed using electrical pulse technology, which, as already mentioned, is much more environmentally friendly. By the way, the usual method of mining is also not particularly useful for the environment. And about the payback - today it is already, imagine, below $ 40. Again, thanks to new technologies. And the fact that shale is a scam was said personally by Mr. Miller. And what does it mean to “kneel before the West”? Is normal relations with Western countries like kneeling? And what are the dire conditions the West sets? Or maybe for you the example of the DPRK with its "independence" and life in a prison country and regular extortion of humanitarian aid from the same West.

Russia does not extort anything from the West and does not want anything. Wants an equal relationship. This is exactly what the West is not going to give. This is no longer economics, but politics.
        You spoke about the electrical impulse technology before. I don't see it yet. Statistics (American) speak of conventional drilling. And then the electric pulse technology is not cheaper than standard drilling.

        You are claiming that shale oil is profitable. Let it be insignificant, but profitable. Please, provide me with a link to such data. Just to convince me. In the meantime, I give you a quote:
        
        Daniel Yorgin, Vice President, IHS Markit expects US oil production to hit nine million barrels per day next summer. After which, perhaps, it will begin to rise and reach 11 million.
        
        “In February 2020, we saw a shale peak,” says Yorjin.
        Both he and other experts warn that even as the industry recovers, growth is unlikely to match the wild boom of recent years, largely because "Industry relations with Wall Street have deteriorated after years of poor profitability".
        
        Over the past decade, major US producers have invested a total of $ 1,18 trillion, mainly in shale projects. The costs did not pay off, the money did not return to the investors (even talking about profit is somehow indecent). According to Evercore ISI, collectively they received only $ 819 billion from their oil operations.
        
        Are they not Russian economists? And where is the profitability here?

Joy is already full of pants. And the fact that Russia itself supported these sanctions is nothing? They themselves, out of the blue, create problems, and then rejoice that it will resolve itself. I believe that now, Iran needs, on the contrary, help with nuclear weapons or advanced weapons. The DPRK quickly put these "horses" in the stall, and Iran is worse?

To supply conventional weapons throughout, even on credit, because Iran is forever a neighbor, and weapons become obsolete in twenty years ...

  How did the DPRK "stall"? When was the last time nuclear weapons and missile technology were tested there? In fact, the fat-faced man makes some sudden movements when the food, fuel, etc. starts to run out, that is, figuratively speaking, he yells - "Let's eat, otherwise I'll throw a grenade, I'm an epileptic!" The piglet puffs up, but in fact it is a rogue with missiles, whose people live like in a prison. And nobody really needs to liquidate his regime.

Of course, it is necessary to sell everything that is bought, nuclear weapons too. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" - nobody canceled this, and the Jews are not our friends or allies, and sooner or later we will have to fight them. So let the ayatollahs weaken them better, fewer of ours will die. Where did you see a friendly state in the person of Israel? Give at least one example. These ... always suck everything in the country that sheltered them, those are still suckers)). It's like parasites, they stick to the host's body and eat until the victim dies. Don't mistake me for a Nazi, but I think the only thing Hitler did right was to bury almost all the Jews.

    In fact, I deliberately exclude Jews from my social circle, but they adapt to ours, change their names. My topic is narrow, there are only three such manufacturers in Russia and we know each other personally.) I even worked as a department head for one of them for 9 years. Maybe there were some Jews in the beginning, as soon as the engine factory burned down. Then only the lazy did not do it, but we worked for a year and a half to zero to "clear the clearing." Jews do not compete like that, they begin to bribe deputies, give bribes, negotiate. Now 10 years already on "free bread." What nafig Jews? We are modernizing Kamaz trucks - here we need brains and work here for a long time. The Jews, on the other hand, are counting on the "hapok" and quickly break loose until they are locked up in a pre-trial detention center, because they always stir up trouble.
