I just realized the Algerian military is really powerful. JCPOA five year offensive arms embargo was must for the West. The U. S
Is the only country in Nato that beat Algerian in a one on one conflict. The Iranians will buy a ton weapons from the Russians once the embargo is lifted. The Iranians could train in Russia on the military equipment before the embargo is lifted.

I have been saying the same things for years, expect we want win a war in europe. We only have 10 active sbct teams and 2 will be added over the next very years (1080 tanks). The 1st Guards Tank Army may have over 1100 tanks alone. It depends whether they a fourth battalion in each divisional regiment or tank or moto rifle brigade. China will be the richest country in the world in less than a decade. China has a chance to a hyperpower in the future.
