Great ideas to consider. Thanks. You are absolutely correct. I really did not like what I heard when I was in Scotland recently. Apparently MI5 was protecting Rohanni when he was there, and not just because of his position in the past in Iran government. There seemed to be more to it. I know...

I acknowledge there are many things about Iran, that stems from inside of Iran, that I am unaware of, socially, culturally, and emotionally. I have lived outside of Iran for a very long time now. However, I do know the Westerners quite well as I have lived in half a dozen countries in the West...

I would love to see this engine in upgraded F-5e in Iran, instead of the J85. Same weight, they have to work around the extra length and width by redesign. but can be done and worth it since - more thrust, and better fuel efficiency, and able to fly at higher altitudes. Non afterburner produces...

Bahram jan, is it possible that we have met at some point in our lives? You seem familiar to me. Am I crazy? Did you ever go to those military family get togethers with lots of people standing around chatting and talking about war and politics? Did I meet you in Virginia, possibly, or have...

This is normal. Should see Pakistani ships after a few days in the Indian ocean. There is a special paint produced in Denmark which has a few special ingredients, one in particular is titanium-silica in the paint that protects (longer I should say) the layers of paint due to wear and tear in...

100% excellent assessment by SalarHaqq. I would like to add one more thing, not as significant as above, but worthy to add. Israel and U.S. have agreed that Iran NOW HAS the technology knowledge (and like themselves in the past) can build nukes if it wished to do so. Be it next year, next...

You are very correct. But also, there are SO MANY FORCES working together to demonize and villainize Iranian government, and blame them for everything. Said much better than I could, by Assal Rad, "... protesters in U.S. must be prosecuted for public violence according to U.S. government, BUT...

Mohens jan you may very well be correct, I have no way to prove a hearsay from other individuals. You are also very correct in assuming that I have not lived in Iran since prior to revolution. But to assure you that I do NOT simply talk out of my @$$ purposelessly, I want to explain where I...

Very well said, my friend. Also, there is a lot of "provocation to react". Meaning, the old British manipulative strategy of provoke to get a reaction, or the very least, DISTRACT THE AUDIENCE and THE SPEAKER from making an important point that everyone should hear. Often, to divide and...

I am busy with couple of exciting projects at work, and the new tools we are working on for design and structural analysis, are quite interesting. Despite this, I find myself like child in a candy store, can't wait to come to this forum to read posts by SalarHaqq or aryobarzan or TheImmortal...

WOW. Half a dozen people, that I respect very much and are political analysts (of varying degrees), HAVE TOLD ME THE EXACT thing over the last 10 years. You are very well informed on this subject, and your thoughts are pretty deep. Look forward to reading more of your ideas.

My friend Foxhoundbis, As far back as early 1990s, when British MOD use to pay for all the Jane's books (the big heavy massive books that are published annually, mostly written or edited by Brits), WE USE TO SIT AROUND and read them during lunch break .... FOR A LAUGH, since they were so often...

In my opinion, excellent points of discussion by @TheImmortal @AmirPatriot @PeeD @Sina-1 - and others who have had some very good points regarding this in the past. Reading these scenarios and potential uses, both in fighter jets as well as potential use in supersonic UAV and future needs and...

Israel's "charming" strategy speaks for its actions. Some general insight into what they are thinking. (According to New York Times article) "Israeli military’s response to Hamas’s rocket attacks was proportionate and in adherence to international law. Israelis often refer to this callously...

You know what I love about Iranians? --- their passion. ~7,000 years of seeking spirituality in purity, running in vanes with an instinctive desire for something more, for a connection to a universe they cannot often see, feel, smell, or touch but still have the guts to know that there is...

Iran has what it needs to build a better F4-E. The Brits had a dozen different upgrade paths (and were testing them regularly) for F-4D/F4-E. In fact the Brits put a turbofan in their F4s. Then they tested ( was there at the time) chopping off the tail, adding a stabilizer in the front. put...

Thank you Amir jan. If I miscommunicated the R35 fuel consumption being lower or even close to equal to a turbofan, or wrote the post that suggested as such, then I apologies. It absolutely IS NOT anywhere near. It is much higher in fuel consumption. In fact it is about 10%+ higher than AL21...

Some very good points, indeed. Iranians I hope one day learn that UNITY is the definition of a "country". They have to work together, and MUST know WHY they have to work together. The IIAF attempting to bomb the Khomeini residence was a VERY BAD idea, It has affected the IRIAF ever since. That...

A lot was said, BUT it said nothing new and concrete. Iran has had (for a long time) the "production industry", the "specialists", and the "scientists". And pleeeeenty of time to scale it all up. Heck they have a dozen senior Iranian engineers that use to work with me in MOD and RR, now back in...

I don't deny that you have a valid point. In fact, I very much hope you are correct, and I am wrong. I just look at the information I have from couple hundred sources and when I put them all together, I do NOT come up with an Iranian secret project like R. J. Mitchell Spitfire just before WW2...
