Personally I’m inclined to think the 3x2 launcher houses the fath missile.
compare the biggest fajr (5) rocket in this pick with the new launcher.
You can see that 4 fajr launch tubes in one row with a lot of space to spare. Hence increasing the likelihood that the new launcher belongs to...
Your observation is correct. They are for the fath missile which is much smaller version of fateh 110. There i a picture of it with other versions of fateh where you can clearly see the size difference. I haven’t seen an official spec of it just yet.

Anything in front of the air intake (no matter the distance) that causes turbulent flow will seriously damage your powerplant performance. It could be avoided for some angles of attack but ultimately is an inherently risky design and frankly not worth it.

Setbacks only defeat you if your conviction is weak. If you are hellbent to succeed and evolve then you will utilize all setbacks to your benefit. From what I am seeing, Iranian navy is courageously undertaking bolder and bolder projects. There will for sure be setbacks in such endeavors, but if...
For them it’s an economical and geopolitical balance. In some fronts (energy transport and Caspian Sea resources) they are direct competitors. So a strong Iran is not beneficial in those arenas.
Personally I think they are extremely shortsighted! The truth is that Russia has no interest to truly...
every time Russia sells such sensitive equipment to Iran, it is a testament that Iran is not far from acquiring such capability by itself. They compute that Iran is probably only a few years away anyways so why not make a buck while they can...
It’s called inferiority complex! People of color tend to accept novelty if it comes from whites but god forbids if another race proposes an unconventional design. Then it’s ridiculed instantly.
wether or not f313 would have been successful or not, it stand for an unconventional effort in order...
Very early in the product development process. The “prototype “ is more like a downscaled proof of concept with plywood structure. Still, all efforts, however how small, matter and they should keep hammering! Soon enough they’ll get there!
