1) UAC Salyut does not currently produce the AI-222-25 in the afterburner version, therefore it is not correct to continue listing the performance of the Motor Sich AI-222-25F, which certainly will not be supplied by Ukraine. 2) the turbofan completely made in Russia after 2015 keeps the same...

To dilute the respective positions relating to the IRIAF and also on the news of possible future developments or modifications of the Chengdu F-7-FT7, I dedicated myself to playing with the images to create a hybrid starting from two aircraft well known by Iranian technicians. To copy cut and...

In correction of what was written in that twitter, today the Russian Salyut makes 100% of the AL-222-25 engine used on the Yak-130, therefore no component of the Motor Sich has been used since 2016 https://lenta.ru/news/2016/08/18/odk_komplekt_ukrain/ The SM-100, as also written in the article...

no, the Yak-130's turbofan has no afterburner at the moment. It's the company Motor Sich (Ukraine) with turbofan AI-222-25( version F) having made it with afterburner for the Chinese L-15B aircraft, but at the moment it seems that only one prototype has flown with this turbofan

maybe it's news that went unnoticed, but Russia's Salyut is developing the SM-100 turbofan (based on AI-22-25) for the modernized Yak-130M combat training aircraft. enclose the article in Russian and a translation made with "traslate"...

news picked up and also published on Russian sites https://topwar.ru/225225-iranskie-vvs-poluchili-na-vooruzhenie-rossijskie-uchebno-boevye-samolety-jak-130.html and IRNA news https://en.irna.ir/news/85218259/Yak-130-training-jets-reportedly-arrives-in-Iran

from another site user "hudfen" from video has extrapolated this screenshot, which portrays the Amnock class frigate and the new submarine chaser

What can still be done with the turbojet The XB-1 is powered by three General Electric J85 engines. They think of a supersonic commercial aircraft, but who knows, maybe with some adaptations even a military fighter version

yesterday the Russians write about Qaher-313 https://en.topwar.ru/224759-iran-razrabotal-novuju-bespilotnuju-versiju-svoego-istrebitelja-nevidimki-qaher-313.html

In the recent Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict, the Azeris used the old AN-2s as Kamikaze drones, it seems that the idea has also been adopted by the North Koreans, but using the obsolete combat aircraft such as the Mig-15/F-2, Mig -17/F-5, Mig-19/F-6 certainly an option to give a second chance to...

Four other small Iranian-made Zolfagar-class missile boats are photographed (still without anti-ship missiles) at the Puerto Cabello naval base in Venezuela.

the higher caliber North Korean naval artillery is centered around the 85mm and 100mm, certainly the 76mm with western ammunition would be an extreme change. For this reason, some hypotheses have appeared in the past 1) The 76/62 clone adapted to the Russian-Chinese ammunition used by the 76.2...

I personally believe that the basic support structure where this obsolete artillery is installed on the Amnok class frigate (661) has already been built to house the 76/62 Oto Melara clone, perhaps the one with a stealth dome, as soon as it is available. Here is a comparison with that of the...

the new images reveal that my assumption about the number of cruise missiles on board is incorrect, as you can see there are 4 on each side . Therefore the Amnok class carries 8 cruise missiles

Returning to the Amnok class light frigate, I assume that the hatch indicated with the white arrow is opened during the launch of the 2 missiles that depart from the opposite side, this to let the booster flame escape outside the ship during launch. the same hatch is present on the other side...

returning to ira iranian navy ships

apparently the news follow one another. or at least an image of a naval unit previously seen only from satellite appears, from the photo it is noted that this ship should have an ASW mission. Smaller ship than the Amnok class, on the bow you can see an RBU-6000, then 2x 14,5mm (gatling type)...

meanwhile, North Korea has installed cruise missiles, Khwasal-1 or Khwasal-2, on board an Amnok-class light frigate, and not the North Korean version of the Kh-35, as previously assumed. observing the characteristics of the superstructure it is possible to hypothesize the presence on board...

very good pictures of the Amnok-class light frigate, including the stages of missile launches and apparently, these are Khwasal-1 or Khwasal-2 cruise missiles, and not the North Korean version of the Kh-35, as previously assumed. It can be noted that at least 2 canisters are positioned...
