IMHO, in the short term, Russian S-400 is probably the most critical. But even S-300 can be helpful if coupled with additional radars. In the longer term, I suspect the Zangezur Corridor is the most important issue. My guess is Iran will complain but compromise, especially if Iran gets S-400 delivered in time. The issue is Russia also needs them to deal with the coming EU/NATO cruise missile attack. If that is indeed the case, I hope Mr.Putin can offer S-400 to Iran.

Interesting analysis.

Please explain what you mean by "clandestine arms transfers" in point 3.

Clandestine in what sense, by whose definition?

Russia is in a no-win. Either get stuck in another war, this time against a much more powerful enemy, or sit back and watch the Empire destroy Russia's allies, one by one.

The Empire is in no condition to destroy Russia's allies, not a single one. It has tried and has failed miserably. Its military hardware is in a deplorable state, and recruitment has been running far behind targets.

We've been hearing that one for years now, yet the Empire continues to escalate.

Escalate? The Ukraine? 🤣 It's over, been that since day 1.

Nazi Talmudland? Where has it got strategically? Don't tell me those butchered women, children, elderly and hospital patients were of any strategic value.

So what escalation are you talking about?

We've been hearing the confident proclamations of victory at hand for years now as well.

Given that Isrywill likely use their F35s, it would be in Russias interest to get some practical experience defeating these. Probably a lot of Russian AA and EW experts going to Iran right now.
