Right, but in their defense: North Korean military is made to operate "in the fire of a nuclear holocaust", everything tracked, everything armored, everything large.

Just a little correction: Persian Gulf islanders sampled there are neither more Semitic or African. They are a very original unique unmixed people. As for Pan Turkists: If they stay to the facts, that graphic would tell them how similar Azaris are to the rest of the Iranians and how much their...

They have very good BMD radars and due to access to U.S industry, good airborne X-band AESAs. Their S-band AESA are expensive but technologically superior to Irans S-band AESAs. Their SARs are also better.

4 x 6 truck mounted 100 mm Sarir AAA to counter Harop. Create secure operation zones. 8 x 3rd Khordad TELAR to kill TB-2 at 100km 3 x Najm-802B to acquire TB-2 at long range This small group would be enough to completely deny Azeri air operations... If you lack it, highly vulnerable TB-2 can...

I think Babur is a Pakistani program based on crash landed Tomahawks, likely with some Chinese assistance for example on the engine. Raad similarly. Pakistan to some extend went to cruise missiles after Shahin-2 became available. Shahin-2 is all Pakistan needs against India, its accurate enough...

Pakistan had the benefit of being Chinas strategic ally, which initially helped Pakistan to start its program. Pakistan also had nuclear weapons which made pin-point strike capability and massive production numbers unnecessary. So both countries missile programs developed differently. After...

SM-6 becomes potent against AshBM because the Aegis ship itself is the target: The AshBM needs to hit it and here the ABM interceptor is often not at a heavy kinematic disadvantage anymore. Plus the ship knows that its the target and can exploit this. MaRV energy defeat mechanisms work best...

The "babybottle" warhead is the standard common warhead from Qiam to Ghadr and to Sejil. The HE version is known and the submunition version with 3 different submunition options. Thermobaric variant probably also exist. At least 2 different MaRV variants of it are also known. One of them could...

Actually it is already a near ideal system for the IRGC doctrine, so I don't know what cost efficient upgrade would come next. Its all about cost effectiveness which results in number of systems deployed. IRGC long range SAM programs could be unveiled pretty soon.

Well its the material of choice for medium IR band. Zolfaghar Basir uses clear "glass" for example and is exposed to highest thermal stress levels.

Seems the exhibition will be open to the public at some point, so I doubt any such hidden gem for now.

He really believes Fateh uses such an ancient front sonar?

Yes, but lets hope IRGC-ASF developes such <50kg, 1m resolution cubesats faster than the space agencys roadmap. Of course infrared and SAR are needed too and may bring results faster than opticals.

9 optical sats at 50kg each and claimed 1m resolution. Iran needs such a capability for wartime and is working towards it.

Navy goes the smart path and acquires IRGC developed Shahed-129. IRIAF does the 180° path and goes for their own Kaman-12 low-tech UAV... Different class and different costs, I know but its a display of the IRIAF "old guard" thinkers, still with 3rd world mentality.

The issue is to give the Europeans a valid reason why this is done. This is a escalation step by Iran, no one wants Iran to have a non-destructible centrifuge assembly hall. Hence Iran says "hey we are attacked and need to do that", who wants to deny it that? Thats a win in a loss for Iran.

Irans missiles cities are made to be totally demolished at their entrances, yet still dig out and continue launches. No runways, no foreign object damage... A futuristic underground airbase could get its entrance opening masked by rock formations, so that only one approach direction is possible...

@TheImmortal " I agree. However, your rebuttal merely serves my point in that SU-57 is more a defense fighter jet rather than a fighter jet ment to penetrate foreign airspace and cause havoc. " The F-22 can get closer to emitters, the Su-57 fly faster and farther, which one is better for...

A fleet of 60 Su-35 would act as a catalyst for Irans IADS. At that number, real added value. A fleet of 250 Su-57 would only drain money from missile and air defense projects. A fleet of 300 5th Gen. Iranian fighters built from 2030-2040 could be justified and create a expeditionary force...
