【History】From the perspective of world history, modern countries have basically established a complete regular military system, that is, the state controls the military, and the military protects the state and the people from threats, forming a basis of interdependence. And the names of the military are generally national defense forces, regular army, or national army. The only exception is the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. What many people don't understand is that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is so powerful, why does it only listen to the supreme leader? You may not think of it.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran is not actually the regular army of Iran, because the regular army is the Iranian Defense Force. However, despite this, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is stronger than the regular army. Not only because the equipment of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is very powerful, but also because the overall training level and technical level of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are absolutely superior. In the Iran-Iraq War, if it were not for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iran might have been defeated long ago.

It is also because of this war that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps became famous. The current Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has 300,000 troops, including 260,000 in the army, 20,000 in the navy, and 20,000 in the air force. It is equipped with all the advanced equipment of Iran, has rich combat experience, and has a strong reserve force, the Basij militia. For this reason, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is much stronger than the National Defense Force in terms of overall strength.
