I removed some statements biased against eastern bloc equipment. I made it more correct, in that Irans Eastern bloc equipment is dated, and thus inferior to current western designs. However, not all eastern bloc equipment is inferior. Indeed, Iran has some cutting edge (the Tor-1 Anti Aircraft is very likly the superior of the Linebacker in every way....its hardly inferior) Try to keep things factual, and relating to Irans military. T-72's are inferior to Challangers and Abrams, but a t-90 or Type 98 is not. So lets keep things in perspective here.

[edit] WPMILHIST Assessment

A fine start, with a navbox, an extensive list of equipment, and a good detailed analysis of the history of Iran's situation regarding equipment. However, I feel it reads as if you've jumped into the middle of a chapter... I must admit, I'm not really sure how to best phrase an introduction, but it needs to start off very generally, before getting into the details of which time periods it was best equipped etc. Thank you though for this; an interesting read.
