after having a look at thread i don't know it was just me.or anybody else i noticed Iranian army Looks Better than Indian and Pakistani soldiers. Any one else?

I don't know about equipment but their fitness is higher.

Probably because they are under high threat and training a lot. Also South Asian food is really unhealthy.

Are there mountains in Iran? If yes, how much percentage of Iran's territory consists of mountains?

What a camouflage!!!

Except in desert areas, most of Iran is mountains. You can see mountains almost anywhere you go.

Here's a topographic map, might explain better:

What???? The government is watching military parade from a roadside tent (cloth canopy) not from some decent building structure. Why????

I guess all of you guys have heared or read something about the 1976 Tehran UFO incident, which was one of the most famous, reliable, and well-documented UFO sightings in the world (documented by CIA and DIA, withnessed by reliable people such as high-ranked officers). I was always really impressed by the bravery and endeavor of these guys particularly the second pilot General Parviz Jafari who almost faced death several times and said I was certain from the beginning that this is a UFO, and despite these, he didn't stop intercepting it until the control tower told him to give up and return back to the base.
Wikipedia has a good article on it
1976 Tehran UFO incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
but it's too long and I wonder if anyone can find a short version of the story and create a thread about it.

What is this sniper rifle in picture of Serpentine ?

It's the Austrian sniper rifle, Steyr HS.50. Iran bought about 800 rifles from Austria in 2006.
It's renamed to Sayyad-2 and if I'm not mistaken, it's currently being produced in Iran too.
