Nope, but that is true even if you include Iran
Kinda funny people scream for uniqueness but yet forgetting the hole meaning on what the cold war was.
Smaller countries didn’t have time nor the money to develop or even restricted. It’s one of the main reasons why the mig-21 is almost in every tree.
It was just simple just to buy from a stock piles from your overlord rather going through the mess of making your own stuff

For me personally, I don’t care for nations having foreign equipment, only for nations having it when there’s indigenous options available that fill the same hole in the tree.
no they don’t
Yes, they do.
if Shah of iran still was there yes, iran would be a country with a great military industry. iran was making f-5, tow missiles and other military weapon/vehciles “inside iran” and think what iran military industry would be like if shah was still there
thats how israel started its military industry career
Iran still has a decently large MIC for ground vehicles, with things like the Karrar, Makran, and Zulqifar being made.
Sa’ar, 4 unique A-4s, 4 Kfirs, Kurnass 2000, S-199 and technically the Nesher, that makes 12 aircraft you can’t see in other trees
most of them are still copy-pastes
Don’t forget the S-199 and the modded Spits
The Karrar is an indigenous design that is based on the T-90MS, the Makran is a heavily modified BTR-50, and the Zulqifar, while built from the M60, is so wildly different that it may as well be entirely new.

was just about to add the 199, but did Britain not use clipped wing Spitfires?
compare them to merkava-4, iran technology is weak becuase of political things that i dont have premission to talk about it here lol
and its simple, free countries are modern countries. look at taiwan and south korea and singapore. they had nothing 45 years ago and now look at them
The CW wasn’t the thing I was thinking off but the load out of the 32x 80mm rockets and two 250 bombs too which can pen a king tiger from the side.

I forgot about the A-4s. Yeah, Israel does have more, however Arab-Iran would still have a decent number if we include ones that use(d) different weaponry.
I’m not saying the Iranian MIC is as big as Israel’s, just that it’s fairly large.
You also have to consider that air was secondary to the Israeli tree being added, it was primarily for their ground tree, and the Magach in particular. I don’t think the Arab league, even with Iran, can match that.
That’s because Arab-Iran has like 10 nations with in that tree while Israel is only one
