I didn't understand anything it said. But seems like it is talking about a factory in Iran that makes helicopters. Someone please give me more details about which helicopters are manufactured here. Are they Iranian or foreign design under license. Thank You

It is a documentary about Panha company(Iranian Helicopter Support and Renewal Company), it shows different parts and functions of Panha.

Most of it was about complete overhaul of many helicopters(13 different types), according to General Ahmadabadi who is the head of panha they completely overhauls 60 helicopters each year.

Another part of it is about manufacturing parts for overhauled choppers and building new helicopters according to General Ahmadabadi Panha is going to mass produce 3 types of iranian designed helicopters in the next two to three years after they passed all tests, one of them is a small piston training helicopter, the other two are "saba" and "homa" helicopters, in this documentary we can see an incomplete ''Homa'' too.

''Homa'' helicopter(Panha-1)

Note:there is also what appears to be an optical device under it, so it is very likely that it will be equipped with one.

''Saba'' helicopter(Panha-2) mock up

According to General Ahmadabadi both ''Homa'' and ''Saba'' have made their maiden flight and soon they will deliver 20 overhauled helicopters to the armed forces also they are working on unmanned helicopters.
