This has always been the western (and their stooges') tactic to diminish DPRK's remarcable achievements, "boohoo it's Russia who gave them this/that, boohoo it's China" and so on.

Video of the full parade. One has to admire the confidence in flying the drones over the city, probably testing has been going for quite some time.

Thanks Sahureka. So apparently in korean is Saetbyol-4/9.

A question if i may for korean speakers, what it is written on the side of both drones shown at the expo (see previous page)? Is it a slogan or perhaps the designation?

When is the parade, tonight? And it would make sense now why the pictures on the board are said to be showing the drones flying over the capital, possibly rehearsing for the parade.

I've been following Egypt military matters since ages and giving up to american blackmail was dissapointing to say the least. I thought Egypt had a stronger spine than others. But it's never too late to take a stand and show them the finger. And if they and their israeli lapdogs try anything...

Regarding the Mirages, i'm still of the opinion that Iran cannot afford to throw away a single airframe until a steady supply is 100% assured either from imports or indigenous. I can't see why the Bayyennat radar from the F-4 Dowran cannot be repackaged to fit the MF1 nose, then it can fire...

It was a very interesting read, good to see a lot of info collated in one place. Thanks for your effort and looking forward for the updated version. I will comment on a few things later on, for now though, what is your assessment of this missile below? It doesn't seem to be present in your file...

Much appreciated, i'm going through it now.:-)

Which issue is that, is it 06/2023 or another one? Yeah even i, a russian aircraft fanboy, think retiring F-14s even if Su-35 arrives is beyond dumb. 24 Su-35 is a too small number anyway. Only if somehow they get to replace on a one for one basis the F-14, F-4, F-5 etc. (so that is roughly 60...

Do you have a link to the older paper you wrote? Thanks.

I have looked into this and asked someone more knowledgeable, Kinzhal itself (which obviously it's highly unlikely it will be exported to anyone anyway) might be too big for F-14, but that doesn't mean a slighly smaller iranian version can't be built/tailored to fit. And i had in mind F-4 and...

Thanks for your expansive insight, most interesting read. Could you be able to point me to BT's Saeqeh article? I of course read various bits from BT about it, but not sure if it's an article i haven't read. Also regarding the MiG-29 upgrade, i can't see how it would cost 1 billion for the...

Well, if that would be the case the policy should come from the top not from the services. The top should say IRIAF or whatever service must have this or that capability. Anyway as i understand the IRIAF is marginalized and starved of funding by the top in favour of IRGC so i don't think IRIAF...

I know this is a flight of fancy, but i quite like this what-if single engine Saeqeh model done by this modeler. https://mohsoh-hanger-no9.blog.jp/archives/52438228.html On a more serious note, if, IF they are determined, they support it and they work hard on it i don't see why can't they build...

I agree fully with you re the stupid lobby and money waste at least regarding Saeqeh. Back in the day when BT was a believable source (before he became such a shrill pro-israeli and pro-american/pro-Pahlavi), he said basically the mullahs or anyway someone at the very top shove Saeqeh onto the...

Fortunately that's the Saeqeh-2 from years back in 2015. Kowsar clearly shows the twin fin does not work hence it was abandoned. As i understand the twin fins actually impose severe limitation on maneuvering, load-out (hence some Saeqehs without wingtip rails) and G-limits compared to a normal...

Good post, rather perhaps Iran should build something like the Iskander or DPRK equivalents. And why the hell not, make an air launched version of that and put it under an F-14, i THINK it should fit. Iran's own Kinzhal.

In fairness when the recent Su-35 arrival story started (after the fake landing story), the initial news source said it will be "several weeks", which then some outlets made it "next week". Though the wait to see whichever way is excruciating for an aviation buff like me. I can't really recall...

Is this related to any DPRK missile? I had the feeling DPRK has something similar, but they have so many different types i can't put my finger on it now. DPRK also relatively recently managed to build a hypergolic fuelled missile/ engine? Anyway, i'll just say again, new more advanced missile...
