The F-35 is not invulnerable and has its weakness, the Rafael was suppose to be closer to the F-35 than the J-10 and still Pakistan excellent use of the air defenses allow them to get the upper hand. The issue is that having something and using it well is much better than having nothing. If wasn't for the Iranian missile force Iran wouldn't have any deterrence against Israel. which by the way Iranian missiles are made using Chinese tech, for example the fiber optic IMU or the Carbon Fiber.
Also beidou gps right?

From what I’ve researched transit oriented development models (TOD),
—like what Japan is especially notable for doing: having their metro operators be real estate leasors/operating shopping centers, malls, plazas, and even housing near or on train stations— is still quite a rare thing in China.

Also notable that most HSR stations are far from city centers in China, a different philosophy from what we see in other models.
There are older hsr that r close to city center tho newer ones r one current city edges that they plan to develop for future.

I think only China and Pakistan have access to the military version.
Russia could have too. There is a Sino-Russo cooperation agreement on GNSS (Beidou and Glonas) which may includes ground stations in each other's territory, inter-operability (being backup to each other, therefor sharing frequency against EW warfare). Sharing military grade signal isn't more sensitive than what are listed above. China grants Pakistan because of India, China would grant Russia because of US and its allies and more importantly as a backup system.

A CN vs India story from bloomberg? Expect anti CN narrative framing, focus. Like they focus on a "failed project" in Mauritius, but failed to show Bangladesh/pak/srilanka projects..Will lndia get provoked or goaded? To think India and CN just had meeting of their officials in Beijing recently.
How China is Beating India in Its Own Backyard
India and China are locked in a high-stakes struggle for influence in the Indian Ocean. Control over tiny islands could choke global trade and reshape regional power.

Iran only started making their own air defense systems like a decade ago. And much of it seems based on Chinese technology.
The systems don't look bad on paper. Where they may lack is in networking capability and numbers.
A SAM system can look quite good on paper and be useless in practice. Networking capability is key to boosting the effectiveness of GBAD, but only if such capabilities can be maintained in a contested EM environment. The real battle between aircraft and SAMs is the struggle for control of the EM spectrum. Whichever side establishes EM dominance will wipe the floor (or skies) with the other. Israel is one of the top 3 nations in terms of EW capabilities, I seriously doubt any homegrown Iranian system will have the capabilities to threaten Israeli dominance in that domain. Even if supplied with adequate numbers of more capable foreign systems, it will take years for the military forces of Iran to attain tactical proficiency to challenge the Israelis in EW.
