    Shahed-129 MALE UCAV | News and Discussions

    It is established that the 1700km range mentioned can only be achieved with autopilot. The actual "communication range" of the UAV is 200 km (Which was described as "observation range" by the IRGC commander during his interview)

    Armed Forces Day (18th April 2013 / 29 Farvardin 1392)

    It is actually the normal M-109. Raad-2 is quite different.

    Armed Forces Day (18th April 2013 / 29 Farvardin 1392)

    I don't think so. The barrel is too long to be the normal 105mm cannon Iran produces, and the shape of it is similar to the same 125mm gun seen on the other prototypes. I think this is an illusion because we have been seeing the gun covered with the IR covers.

    Solving a fundamental problem: Iran's engine development programs

    No. But Iran shouldn't try to make "everything" domestically either. Even US imports a lot of its needs from abroad. Can't US make them at home? Sure it can. But the price of a Japanese product could be much less compared to the American product of the same quality. Iran should focus on its...

    Solving a fundamental problem: Iran's engine development programs

    Better to say: Israel doesn't want to develop its own engines as long as it can import them from Germany.

    Solving a fundamental problem: Iran's engine development programs

    Wankel engines produce more power than a piston engine of their size will be able to. That's what makes them suitable for drones (which should be built as much compact as it can be) That was back in 2006. And as you can see we didn't rely on them for the systems. We just wanted the process...

    Solving a fundamental problem: Iran's engine development programs

    There are individual countries that have sanctioned MAPNA. But there is no UN sanction against the company. A full UN sanction would certainly hurt the company (not to mention the economy in the time where every non-oil export is very important) Oh. Yes. My mistake. If we indeed see the engine...

    Solving a fundamental problem: Iran's engine development programs

    The main reason Defense Industries Organizations was established, was for Iran to gain self sufficiency in manufacturing her basic military needs. During the Iran-Iraq war, Iran's military suppliers were a handful of countries that sold her low quality military equipment ten times their price...

    Cheap Drones Made in China Could Arm US Foes

    Those "crude" drones were more than enough to monitor several American carriers without being detected. See a collection of such photos here: http://www.defence.pk/forums/iranian-defence/228310-history-uavs-iran-4.html#post3892089

    Made in Iran

    Definitely most of the parts are imported. There are only a handful of companies able to make electronic parts for tablets/mobiles in massive commercial scale.

    Iranian UAVs | News and Discussions

    1: I think because IRGC was the only organization that was interested in the downed Hermes-450/Watchkeeper so the drone should have been reverse engineered in a solely IRGC-related facility not a shared one like Qods. In the other hand, it can be because Qods have had enough projects of its own...

    Iranian UAVs | News and Discussions

    Some random facts: It appears that most (about 3/4) of our drones are operated by IRGC. Karrar and Shahed-129 are not designed for army at all. The numbers are also interesting. There were at least 400 Mohajer-2 and Ababil produced as of 2004-5. But only 40-50 Mohajer-4, which was our first...
