Or are they producing all of their own weapons and armor by now? Dan |

They do have some hot Russkie stuff, but their usual MO is to buy exemplars nd reverse engineer it. |

US sends them latest drones… |

In the past, they've imported considerable quantities of Chinese anti-ship missiles. Generally though Sundance is right, they tend to reverse-engineer and locally manufacture as much stuff as possible. |

Yeah, mostly PRC and DPRK. Russia still sells them stuff, too.

Russia just shipped some S300 SAM's to Iran. |

So our Non-Aggression agreements with Russia and China are doing wonders! I guess it conveniently excluded proxy wars. Dan |

In the past they have been very resourceful and successful in importing Western weapons and spares – F14 parts, TOWs. Sometimes with the assistance of the US or Israeli governments and sometimes despite them. I imagine they can be equally resourceful now when necessary. |

It definitely calms and reassures the populations for a bit, but should never give officials any reason to relax, as it is always followed by attack and betrayal. YouTube link In fact, they are simply a modern version of the Trojan Horse, except that all parties involved are "Greeks"!!! Dan
PS. For the PC crowd, that is a reference to Virgil's Aeneid, Book 2, 19 BC:
"Do not trust the horse, Trojans. Whatever it is, I fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts." |

"Russia just shipped some S300 SAM's to Iran." For the non-PC crowd, let me explain that actually, Russia just agreed to deliver, actual delivery will still be a year or two off. Hmmm, I espy a window of opportunity. |
