The fact remains that in terms of military technology Iran is decades behind the western world. Their monthly demonstrations of "the best [aircraft|ship|submarine|drone] in the world" which then turn out to be fiberglass models of non-existing things, or photoshopped images, doesn't help to improve their image much either.
If it was that simple for them "to enlist the methods of science" to develop something worthwhile, they would have done it long ago. In fact Iran seems to have serious problems with military and defense R&D.
- jacquesm 12y agoYou must be aware that Iran is under continuous sanctions? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctions_against_Iran http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctions_against_Iran I think that may have something to do with their degree of achievement versus their desires.
- pavelrub 12y agoYeah, I'm aware of it. I'm not saying that Iran has no potential to do great things - I'm not even sure what that means, but Iran definitely can't make good science simply by willing it, especially if their whole defense R&D efforts were crippled due to sanctions in the last 40 years.
