Iran's military has 545,000 active personnel and some of the most advanced military technology of anyone out there.

The thing is, the United States gave them a lot of it.

Granted, it wasn't the modern Iran that we stocked up with some of the hottest tech of the time, but the pre-revolutionary country that, at one point, was a key ally of the United States in the Middle East.

Still, Iran has developed their own military industrial complex to develop, maintain, and upgrade military resources.

And they've gotten pretty good at it.

So ignoring their possible but unconfirmed nuclear program, we run down all the military toys that we found the Iranians are playing with.

Decades of United Nations embargo and a bunch of advanced Soviet and American tech laying around meant that Iran got busy, designing original weapons systems. We'll take a look at that stuff for the first time here.
