Russian suport ? what are u talking about ?
the most " modern " tank in the iranian army is the t-72.

Iran - 480 T-72M1 and T-72S since 2002 (200 in 1995 and 120 in 2000)
Iraq - 1000 T-72s, T-72Ms, T-72M1s, Lion of Babylon and Saddam tanks were in service with Iraqi Regular Army in 1990. 375 T-72s, T-72Ms, T-72M1s, Lion of Babylon and Saddam tanks were in service with Iraqi Regular Army in 2003.
Russia and China sold both tanks but guees who gets the bigger cut.

to let you know, I am talking about political, technologic and economic support!
ZNet - China-Iran Oil
China: Int'l talks on Iran end with 'some' agreement on incentives - Haaretz - Israel News

by the way, can there be a greater support than these?
BBC NEWS | Middle East | Russia-Iran nuclear deal signed
Iran, Russia Reach Tentative Nuclear Deal - washingtonpost.com
Iran, Russia reach agreement to enrich uranium - World - smh.com.au

hope these help.

A certain amount of what Ahmadinejad is bravado purely for the benefit of his troops and people. Chavez does the same thing and so did Saddam. In fact many leaders of smaller nations do the same thing. They seem to think they need to be seen as tough and standing up to the big bullies of the West. Most of the time, its relatively harmless.

I have to admit though that Ahmadinejad does seem like the little yapping dog barking at a big dog.

bugs, I may have misinturpreted your last statement, but I am amazed at your ability to know how old I am....
Can you do me a favor and tell me what next weeks winning lottery numbers are!?
You are good!! I mean someone that can know how old another person is without even meeting them!....That is good!
Or!!!.........are you just trying to be childish and act like a 10 year old with your statements?

If I misinturpreted your statements, and maybe you though that I did, the most "MATURE", "ADULT", thing to do, is to explain yourself first before acting like a 12 year old who's girlfriend just got unsalted.
You, Sir might be to.......................let me see, let me see,.........not young, but to immature, or uneducated to understand!

So instead of simply filling out a profile, you respond with weak logic?

Iran claims to have 100 home-made Zulfiqar MBT-s (reverse-engineered Patton) and their T-72Z is actually reverse-engineered T-55 (number 72 meaning it´s year of appearance in islamic calendar).
