Unfortunately - they chose Qahers with Kenwood decks for propaganda and recruitment from all over the region instead of focusing on core military capabilities.
At the end, theological systems that cannot deliver rely on propaganda and religious opium for longevity - and that is as strong as a spiders web facing a club.
The last two years show that.
Core military capabilities themselves mean nothing without strategic deterrence which is nuclear end game. Even if IRIAF had 300 x SU-35S today it wont deter US+NATO+Israel just like IAF is not deterring IRGCAF to launch missile barrages on Israeli cities. These things work in skirmishes, creating short shock campaigns but they have limited use in a war where the enemy wants you annihilated. Such an enemy is only deterred by reciprocating annihilation threat. IRI chose to invest in missile capabilities, smart, but without nuclear deterrence of 200+ diverse yield devices firing hundreds and thousands of missiles means nothing. Who stopped this from happening? Khamenei !
