Honestly bro, I was optimistic at first lol then i become somewhat skeptical, after that it moved into ambivalence now I’m exhausted and quite cynical about the whole ordeal.
It’s very tiring to say the least.
Money knows no boundaries and honor/integrity doesn’t hold a candle to power through relative wealth.
It’s impressive just how far Iran has managed to get despite literally EVERYONE around them being coerced and bought out to some degree.
Hence why I said “etc.,”
But I don’t think Hajj-Qassem Q-BM is even in full production as it’s more of a Defense Ministry project that wasn’t shown much interest from the IRGC AEROSPACE forces (despite its namesake). We haven’t seen it in any meaningful capacity ever since that initial...
Iranian and Turkish members have been going at it for ages on this forum Foinikas.
It would be folly to try and say something about the “quality” of one over the other as each respective side’s mind is already made up. Turkish military is objectively superior in many aspects as they are a NATO...
It’ll serve to open up Israel in a sense: FATTAH will obliterate any ABM installations that could shoot down missiles like Kheybar-Sheikan, EMAD, SHAHAB-3, Khorramshahr-1,2 and K-4, Dezful, etc., leaving room for other more numerous long range munitions to make their way in.
It’s a frontline...
It’s just a weird story to run with though. Here we have China who developed the J20, Type-055 Destroyer, DF-21BM and a whole slew of drones and cruise missiles on their own: yet they want to buy Shaheds from Iran, 15,000 nonetheless?
Just doesn’t make much practical sense for them to do it...
Shahed-136 really shouldn’t be classified as a “loitering” munition though. It’s really just a super low-cost, slow moving, low-flying, small RCS, cruise missile for all intents and purposes.
Next generation S-136 variants will sport better capabilities as implied by various IRGC officials...
Lmao, that’s hilarious because one can clearly see the logical progression of how FATTAH was eventually developed if you followed IRGC missile development for the past several decades.
Last 10-15 years however. IRGC has hit a phenomenal stride in missile technology both in development...
One could just imagine the chaos of a FATTAH MLBM system. Would absolutely eclipse any ABM system on the planet!
Current Iranian planning regarding missiles and drones is the correct answer to regional security concerns.
IRGC has done groundbreaking work!
IRGC ≠ SSJs
You’re quite literally commenting on a thread showing an actual product of the IRGC which is the Hypersonic Missile “FATTAH”.
SSJs and their in-house projects aren’t representative of what the IRGC does at all…
