Russia will sell Iran’s several dozen Su-35 / Photo WikipediaIran can finally receive advanced Russian Su-35 fighters, which he has achieved for years. However, analysts are skeptical that several dozen cars compensate for the damage that Iran caused the Iran’s air defense over the past year. Business Insider writes about it.The author of the publication acknowledges that Iran’s aging military-air forces have long needed new aircraft, and Su-35 has significant opportunities for the protection of Iran’s airspace. But what the Russians will give is “too little, too late”, says a senior teacher of history and political science at the University of Cleleson (USA) Arash Azizi.
“This will not help to fill the gaps that Iran will have against such opponents as Israel. It will be a drop in the sea,” he is convinced.
What a number of aircraft has agreed on Iran and Russia is still a question. Numbers are from 24 to 50 units. According to an expert from the Middle East, Freddie Cayori, these planes in such quantities cannot be a complete replacement for terrestrial anti-aircraft missile complexes such as Soviet C-300. Last year, Iran lost them all in the next wave of confrontation with Israel.
“Although modern fighters can restrain hostile operations and strengthen the possibility of intercepting, they work most effectively in combination with reliable defense” Air Earth. Therefore, the replacement of lost C-300 systems remains crucial for any complex and multi-level Iran’s air defense strategy, “Huira said.
However, although Su-35 is inferior to Israeli F-35i of American production, it will still become a problem for the Israelis, experts say. On October 26, when Israeli aircraft destroyed the remains of Iranian air defense, several aircraft probably flew into Iran’s airspace. Now they will avoid this, experts say.
But it is possible that the Israelis will cause a new decisive blow to destroy or at least prevent Iranians to use new Russian aircraft to effectively.

We also talked about a new version of the T-90M tank, which the Russians showed. The novelty has a system of active protection, which in theory gives the tank the opportunity to knock down the enemy shells that fly to it.
