Iran has domestic missile and drone production, quite a lot of it in fact.
Not only that, they have historically refused deals to purchase military equipment, and have always preferred purchasing technology so they can make it themselves.
Yep, great point! Iran most of all values its independence, which is a blessing and a curse.
Oh I'm sure, but I thought they were buying from China too.
Yes, that's correct, they are buying from China as well. Just wanted to point out that they aren't entirely dependent on China for production, which would limit them as the war goes on.
All good, I probably should have said China is 'a' source of missiles and drones for Iran, but doing that now would render this whole thread redundant and people have to see what real leftist infighting looks like 😜
Haha, fair. Only problem is that Geneva can't see my comments because they blocked me for calling them out on this shit before.
That's a shame. I wish there were options for semi-blocking (seeing comment exists but auto-spoilering it or something) and hiding comments and such, things that would let people address people/comments at their pace without blanket blocks. Trying to build a custom frontend in my free time but it's tricky and free time isn't always easy to come by.
Oh, that's an interesting idea! Good luck on your project!
Thank you! 🥰
No problem!
