@KariSoo1 Many Iranian weapon systems are reverse engineered Chinese equipment, an Iran has been supplying weaponry, notably attack drones, to Russia for some time.
@KariSoo1 China is simultaneously deepening ties with Iran. Chinese, Russian and Iranian warships exercised together earlier this year, Iran seems set to join the Shanghai Co-operation Council shortly, and is already providing weaponry to Russia.
@KariSoo1 It is probable that the activities of China's sem-official "overseas police stations" are a prime cause of this move. The Netherlands was the first European nation to order their closure.
@LosTremelos @afneil Check out AUKUS, and other defence and security issues including the UK-designed frigate project under construction in Australia. UK-designed and constructed subs to follow. I love Australia, have lived there and our offspring are both now Aussies BTW.
