Many so called western analysts where sighting the fact that Iran hadn't publicized the testing of the Sejil in a couple years as some kind of sign that Iran had discontinued the Sejil! LOL! Iran past year 1.IRGC Aerospace forces as expected showed an impressive show of force, showed...

Thanks to the IRGC Aerospace forces Iran is rather quickly mastering the flying wing design. I just wish they would speed up the development of larger bomber variants capable of releasing at least 8 or more small diameter missiles with a range of at least 50km or 60 or more small semi guided...

Yet another version!

Sidewinder would of been too expensive for use on the karrar and regardless Iran had to develop it's own called Azarakhsh (As always Iran is horrible at naming weapons) The Airframe of the Azarakhsh during initial inauguration was basically a copy of the AiM-9J with the same type of Gyro...

In the long run arming UAV's like the Karrar with A2A will be seen as proof of concepts and test platforms for future more capable UCAV projects. You can't land the karrar with payloads attached so whatever you arm them with will have to be used if you have any intention of recovering the...

history Shafaq training fighter Russia contract with Iran تاریخچه قرارداد جنگنده شفق روسیه با ایران - YouTube For the last time, if Iran had any intention of perusing the Shafaq project we would NOT have bothered with years of R&D into upgrading the F-5 and producing the Kowsar What would be...

I totally agree with all the points you made however when your generalizing two different platforms that have been produced since the 80's and over the years come in verity of variants with various upgrades the sum of the parts of each variant is as different as life and death. Fact is in...

The F110 & F100 are both superior engines compared to the RD-33 that is a fact and no one is questioning that fact however that doesn't necessarily make the F-16 a superior platform.... Just as AL-21's are superior to the J79 but that doesn't necessarily make Su-22's superior to F-4...

Seems to me that at this rate they badly need to start working on cruise missiles that can be stored and launched vertically....

IRGC rarely disappoints especially when it comes to anything missile related! But to see this many anti ship cruise missiles stored in one location alone that is absolutely jaw dropping! And they are clearly ready to overwhelm any defensive weapon system enemy vessels may throw their way...

رونمایی از شهر موشکی نیروی دریایی سپاه ایران در استان هرمزگان با حضور فرمانده کل سپاه - YouTube till your eyes can see! Great answer to Trumps delusions!

Thrust would effect trust to weight ratio meaning your payload capacity would increase... doesn't change the facts about hot climates RD-33 turbofan twin-shift engine with afterburner for the duel-engine power plant for Mikoyan MiG-29 fighter with individual supersonic variable intake for...

You take the comment to the most extreme! Did i say the Aircraft wont be able to take off? No! Hi heat temp reduced the takeoff performance of the original RD-33 and no matter you claim about being a pilot it's NOT going to change that fact! And the reason Iranian MiG-29's where stationed and...

My comments are about what we in Iran had to do not other ppls articles and again performance issues in hot temperatures doesn't mean the engine doesn't work or has maintenance issues and blows up due to warm weather.... Performance issues means the Aircraft wont takeoff as fast as it could with...

Was developed for use in standard normal temperature(didn't mean to say cold temperatures) and the issue was address on the engines produced after the Rd-33Mk variants that was developed in 2001 Just research the Rd-33Mk upgrades and read between the lines Klimov :: Production :: Aircraft...

Maybe I miss spoke didn't mean to say was developed for use in colder temperatures rather it was developed for use in standard temperatures (That's for RD-33's developed prior to RD-33Mk) It's actually Iran's temperature that can reach as high as 52 degrees Celsius (Southern Iran) that create...

On paper the max ground temperature the RD-33 can operate at is 60 Celsius on the ground & 200 Celsius in the air! In various parts of southern Iran temperatures can reach as high as 52 Celsius on top of that direct sun that can create an oven around the engine add to that sand storms or...

Overall the standard RD-33 is NOT a suitable engine for Iran's terrain. The RD-33 was developed for use in Russia's cold temperatures and does not perform as well as it should in warmer temperatures. However future upgrades to the engine has addressed that problem but that doesn't change the...

The engine he is referring to tops out at 315 lbf and is practically a toy compared to the Toloue.... And it's an engine that was tested for the 1st time in 2020 So I wouldn't doubt their ability to produce that....
