Iran upgrading air force with jets from Russia no one else wants

For the first time in more than 30 years, Iran is buying new fighter jets. Well, not new, but new to them. In addition to some fourth-generation Su-35s, Iran is buying some Mi-28 attack helicopters from Russia and training aircraft as well.

The deal was first announced a year ago, but Mehdi Farahi, Iran’s deputy defense minister, said the agreement is now finalized. A timeline for when exactly the aircraft will be delivered is still up in the air.
