It’s a matter of time. Since this technique will be a reason for the United States to introduce Iran into the US development subtree.
Noone would ever want to have Iran as a subtee in US. And its not like US needs or will get a subtree in the first place

Lmao no?
The devs have REPEATEDLY stated that the F-14 is going to the US because its a US plane.
The only other place it “could” go would be isreal(no) or russia(doubly no)
Political reasons would make isreal a bad choice
Russia has nothing to do with the F-14.
The USA got it because when the F-14 was sold to iran the US and Iran had good relations

Germany received the Polish Leopard, so now it is the main contender for further Polish equipment. The situation is the same here. The United States will receive Iran’s equipment and will continue to receive it. This is complete nonsense! We are waiting for North Korea at the US Development Tree. It’s so logical…
Um, North Korea will obviously go to China.
The Mi-28 is a Russian helicopter, nevertheless Sweden has it. The MiG-21Bis is a Russian aircraft that was in service with India, nevertheless it is with the UK, which has nothing to do with it, as well as with the T-90.
It’s not obvious at all.
I understand your reading comprehension may not be good enough to read the messages from Smin, but even without that evidence, i’ll give you an example of why you are wrong.
Before the introduction of Israel to war-thunder, the US tree received several merkavas in events.
Last i checked, isreal is not a US subtree.
France got an Israeli Vatour.
Interestingly, Israel is also not a french subtree.
Britain got a swedish Centurion as a GE premium, but shockingly Sweden is not a subtree of the UK
The country that made the F-14 is the US, and thus the US will receive it.

The MI-28 was tested by sweden. Gaijin added it to leave the heavily limited domestic options for the main tree
The indian MiG-21 Bison is a completely different thing, a part of a subtree for the UK. Same reason italy and sweden got MiG-21 Bis (hungary & finland)
(Edit)
The Indian T-90 is a part of the indian subtree.
These placements are to save unique options for the main tree

It will either go to china, or as an independent tree. This isn’t rocket science, its logic.
Keep in mind that these F-14 were sold to the Imperial State of Iran (which was close to the US), to serve in the IIAF, but after the Iranian Revolution they ended up with the Islamic Republic of Iran, in the IRIAF, so this F-14 being in the US tree is definitely the best, if not only, choice.
It’s a bit like Germany getting MiG-29 as a Bundesluftwaffe plane.
The US even went so far as to destroy spare parts for the F-14 after retiring it, so as to not have them end up in Iran.

Germany received Polish Leopard because its a Leopard - tank of German origin.
This is just wrong.

The country that produced the T-90, T-80 and Mi-28 is Russia, but the UK and Sweden have this military equipment.
The United States and Israel are allies, and it is logical that they have each other’s equipment. France, Great Britain, Sweden, and the United States are allies and it is logical that they can have each other’s equipment.
Iran what is related to the United States? Are they allies? At the moment, the Ukrainian army has various Western weapons. Let him Dalim the USSR/Russia? After all, Russia and Ukraine were once friends, and in general, Ukraine was part of the USSR.
Russia has an MI-28
Russia has a T-90 (2 of them)
Russia has a MiG-21(many)
Russia has a T-80 (many)
Russia has a sherman and a B-25, does that need to be removed? no.
One country having equipment that another country had is a non issue.

Political discussions are not allowed on the warthunder forums. I would recommend refraining from this subject.

Now Germany will receive another military equipment of Poland, regardless of who produced it.
Is it right now?
What? Why would they? They have barely any connections to Poland with Leopards they use. Aside from that - nothing
Yes it is
