Iran uses Russian weapons. If Chinese weapons were used, personnel training would require a lot of time. Pakistani pilots were trained in China for at least six months in the J-10CP. For Iranian pilots who fly third-generation aircraft to learn to operate fourth-generation aircraft, even more time would be needed. Moreover, the systems of Chinese, Russian, and Iranian weapons are different. This affects military command and response times.
The United States and Israel have air superiority, and some missiles and aircraft cannot solve the problem. Iran needs a large number of air defense systems. These equipments are provided by Russia but were destroyed by the United States and Israel in initial attacks.
Iran has leveraged the advantages of its military, using a large number of missiles and drones for attacks, which is a reasonable strategy.
According to available information, the Chinese government donated funds to the Iranian Red Crescent to help with the medical care and livelihood of the Iranian people. Chinese netizens donated money to the Iranian embassy to support Iran’s resistance against aggression. The Iranian embassy refused donations from Chinese netizens.
Our trade relations with Iran are proceeding normally.
