Shahed-149 is something for the IRGC-ASF to unveil, not the army. So I doubt we will see it.

Best case, Artesh meaning IRIAF has bought Fotros. Beware this is not a IRGC drone manouver.

In the context of fighting air to air battles against 5th generation fighters. Of course other scenarios are still possible.

F-5E chances increase when in defensive posture. If it defends a city via it's nearby airbase and makes use of terrain, then it can be of some use against advanced enemy fighters coming from distant locations. Terrain masking, afterburner and intact IADS. That's the context in which such...

Speech by Hasan Abassi, Many good parts and some populist things

That would be a long turn-around time for each strike with a subsonic B-52 in a high intensity conflict. But principally yes.

I'm not think Iran is yet at this stage but it can work on the AI software for the next decade. Yes and with a large benefit in range. Sure that would be an option but an unmanned bomber is the most favorable option. It would do the point-strike mission completely autonomously.

RQ-170 bomber with four Jahesh-700 engines and two internal carried Raad-500 at 3200kg total load. That would be my wish.

In reformist years with Trump Iran tested Khorramshahr-1 and -2 (and much more), launched Simorgh, Safir and Qased. More civilian SLV launches were not made because of political reasons. IRGC will always do whats necessary for national security and no government can interfere.

JCPOA without missile force makes no sense for Irans latent capability, hence baradar at most there will be a missile JCPOA to restrict Irans BMs to 2000km. And as great coincidence: Iran has no missile that can reach beyond 2000km officially. In return however Iran would need to get significant...

There are two dimensions about Iran; government and national security. There will be no missile JCPOA and even if, it will be one for Iranian benefit, like the first JCPOA. For general public its ok to have this bi-partisan game of conservatives and reformists and it is real on government...

:tup: This man knows what he is talking about.

Interestingly this kind of complexes are not made to withstand airpower deployed bunker busters, but designed against blast pressure levels that occur due to nearby (~100m CEP) nuclear explosions. They become as useless as a empty ICBM silo once all their missiles are launched. Until a...

Raad-500 motor casing is lighter than the Zolfaghar>Dezful>Haj Qasem. But the Haj Qasem tells us that Iran is not directly switching to Raad-500 technology.

Geo strategy is above the rest: Trump is about to go, Iran has reached its goal. Loosers are now trying to pour salt on that Iranian win. Give it to them or have patience? The patience that made 1980's military power joke to 2020 regional superpower?

Detection and identification at such long ranges are the problems. One secret weapon the IRGC apparently has since quite long is the Alam ol Hoda. For special "VIP" targets such as tankers, AWACS, JSTARS and B-52. But 500-600km is the maximum due to earth curvature. I expect an Alam ol Hoda 2...

He certainly has the necessary calmness, no nonsense view and some charisma. He didn't look affected by whether its Rohanis or Ahmadinejads administration. That can't be said for many others, like current DM Hatami.

The message is nuclear ALCM, at least conventional ALCM.

IRGC-N should copy that Italian ship, produce 10-20 of them and leave true naval warship to the IRI Navy. They should be quite cheap.

The industrial scale production in a competative marked is most important here. Great.
