About LinkBacksHello, Artesh.
Note: I used wiki for persian ranks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank_i...anian_military
Colonel-General is higher than Lt.Gen.Originally Posted by Artesh
It is modern Russian/Soviet naming.
In western armies it is 4 star general.
For Iran it is: General, ارتشبد
Modern Soviet/Russian naming - do not exist. Would be Brigadier-General, if existed.
In western armies it is 1star general.
For Iran it is: Brigadier General, سرتیپ
Note: From 1943 to our days Soviet and Russian Army doesn't have this rank, because it had no brigades. This rank should be between Colonel and Major General.
Brigade-Comissar is an equivalent of this rank for political commander.
Before 1943 Red Army had double commanders in each unit. Military and Political. Political commander controlled an army one and could decline any of his order.
Image like every Iran army unit have 2nd commander from Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
This rank is the same as 2 above, but for administrative position, it is the main intendant of brigade, was responsible for supplies, stocks and so on.
Modern Soviet/Russian naming - do not exist. Would be Brigadier-General, if existed.
In western armies it is 1star general.
For Iran it is: Brigadier General, سرتیپ
Literally this rank is the replacement of Lt.Colonel, but NKVD ranks were 3 positions higher than Army ranks, so its real rank is Division-Commander.
Modern Soviet/Russian naming - Major-General of NKVD.
In western Armies it is 2star general.
For Iran it is: Major General, سرلشکر
Note: This is a special NKVD rank, so in modern Russian/Soviet army it would be used with "of NKVD" at the end. Like Major General of NKVD.
Like Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps ranks
Modern Soviet/Russian naming is Colonel-General.
In western armies it is 4star general.
For Iran it is: General, ارتشبد
Modern Soviet/Russian naming is Lieutenant-General
In western armies it is 3star general.
For Iran it is: Lieutenant General, سپهبد
