You gotta accept the fact that Iran's military is the largest in the Middle east and better trained and experienced than Pakistan or any other nation (except Israel)

No offense! but you need to check on your thoughts.

Pakistan has the best military in the muslim world. Even Indians and Israelis regard its fighting potential as challenging.

Iranian military is overly-rated. Just check the track record of Iranian Regular Army in case of war with Iraq.

Military Experience: (Greater then that of IRAN)

- Pakistan has fought 4 wars with its powerful neighbour and thats more then enough experience for it to get better.

- The massive role of PAK Military forces and ISI in training and aiding Mujahideen in Soviet-Aghan War proved to be worse for Red Army.

- Now the recent War-on-Terror has also shown true potentail of Pakistani troops operating in rugged regions and establish dominance over Tribal regions in NWFP (The most heavily armed province in Pakistan).

- Then the long battle experience in Siachin sector of Kashmir gives our military a decisive edge in mountain warfare tactics.

- Not only this, but Pak Army and ISI enabled TALIBAN to become a major fighing force in Afghanistan, who over-ran 95% of the entire nation before 2001.

An Atomic and Missile Power:

PAK Missile Program is better then that of Iranians and rivals with that of Indian. We have developed a vast arsenal of "solid-stage Multi-boost Ballistic Missiles" with ranges from 200 Km - 2200 Km and can mount Nuclear Warheads on them.

The recent development of Cruise Missile is an another break-through in our Missile Program.

Not to forget that we are a Nuclear Weapons State as well.

Other Factors:

PAK Navy is also no less then Iranian Navy and the induction of modern Agosta 90-B Submarines is another edge, not to forget the induction of PC-3 Orions and Babur Cruise Missile Naval Variant.

Just because a Western person does not have knowledge about our military and under-estimated us, does not actually changes the facts.

Where Iran holds an advantage/achieves Parity:

Better Airforce then ours?

Then in Airforce, Our F-16's can easily meet challenge from F-14's. We recently got 2 more F-16 Jets and that increased their number to 34 Jets in total and all Jets are fully-operational.

- But the problem is short numbers in our case. The Iranian Airforce has more then 70 F-14's and that is almost double then ours.

- Then your MIG 29's are better then our Mirages.

- Both nations have C-130 Cargo planes and parity can be achieved here.

Extreme Fighting Will:

- The best thing about your nation is the willingness of its civilians or militias to fight hard and in huge numbers in case of War. This thing is sadly not as prevalent in our nation.

So, I am not placing high bets in ground war scenario against Iranians. After-all, Iraqi Regular Army easily got crumbled against massive human-wave tactics employed by Iranians against them.

Closing in IRBM Stage:

- Your Shahab III Missiles can achieve parity against our Shaheen I and Ghauri I Ballistic Missiles.

I hope that your nation becomes even stronger in near future.

Well is it necessary to compare Pakistan to every country? its because he just put Iran there and there is no pakistan in top 10 u got pissed off. and talking about it Indians and Israeli don't appreciate ur resistance because u r working with the gorillas who are willing to die and we are not, thats it end of it no more Pakistan or India.
