IRAN & RUSSIA Military Cooperation News

[Arminkh]

I think it's most probably a mistake or a 'eshtebah loppi' from the side of Rahim Safavi.

Could be. I agree unless Russia is really desperate for money then doesn't make sense to give Iran its latest missile system. But I also have heard that S-500 is on its way so maybe they will be adopting that soon and get rid of the old versions that they currently have

 

[Siavash]

Can you show the source? I don't think Russians are willing to supply S-400 at this moment.

That'd be very unexpected.

They shouldn't fear! As far as I know we have ran out of Abjad numbers for now! We will not reverse engineer it till we find an obscure name or number for it! 373, 313, 110 these were all the good ones already spent ...

Iran, Russia Start Talks on Sukhoi 30

The talks were held on Tuesday on the sidelines of the MAKS 2015 air show in the town of Zhukovsky near Moscow during which Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari were present.

"Today, we visited different parts of the exhibition and the fighter jets' air show for three and a half hours accompanied by Mr. Putin which was a rare opportunity," Sattari told FNA yesterday.

"Putin showed that he is well aware of the military issues, knows the companies and products and spends time to get more familiar with them," he added.

Asked if the issue of purchasing Russia's Shkhoi 30 was raised during the visit, Sattari said, "We spoke about it but we didn’t discuss purchasing them and talks were mostly focused on the technological issues."

"You should ask issues related to purchasing (Sukhoi 30) from the defense ministry, and other groups like the trade teams should pursue the issue," he added.

روسیه موشک‌های اس 300 و اس 400 را به ایران تحویل می‌دهد/ داعش در حد نزدیک شدن به مرزهای ایران نیست

EDIT : saw your post after this .

it's not an eshtebah lopi . it's been speculated before that the "upgrades" on the Iranian deal are actually S-400 radar systems added to S-300 missile itself .

 

[kollang]

There is no S-300 PMU-2 to buy.my guess is they will go after both S-300V and S-400.

MAKS: Is Russia developing an F-35-hunting UAV?

Russia could be working on a low-observable, F-35-hunting unmanned air vehicle that uses deeply-integrated electronic warfare systems to stay hidden from radars. The tip-off comes from electronic systems producer KRET, which has a curious UAV model on display at the MAKS air show inMoscow.

According to the company’s first deputy chief executive officer Vladimir Mikheev, this aircraft model is more than just a sleek promotional display – it is an advanced military UAV being developed by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).

Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies (KRET) is a subcontractor on the project, he says, providing the fundamental communications, radar, electronic warfare and self-protection systems, as well as the ground control station.

Speaking via a translator, Mikheev tells Flightglobal that the company is involved with two military UAV projects – one in development and one in the concept phase – but both ventures of UAC.

He declines to name the project and does not say which UAC design bureau is in charge, but confirms some of its key capabilities.

Mikheev says the UAV has been designed to detect stealth aircraft in the same vein as China’s ambitious “Divine Eagle” project, which he claims is based on technology “borrowed” from Russia and the USA.

Such aircraft aim to detect low-observable US combat aircraft using X-band and UHF radars, specifically theLockheed Martin F-22 and F-35and Northrop Grumman B-2. But airborne surveillance is just one of the UAV’s capabilities.

Mikheev says KRET is providing a deeply-integrated electronic warfare system that not only provides a protective electromagnetic sphere around the aircraft to counter air-to-air missiles, but also cloaks it from radars.

The unmanned aircraft closely resembles Northrop’s carrier-based X-47B demonstrator, but adds two lift fans on each wing and vertical stabilisers.

Mikheev says the UAV’s avionics, radar and electronic warfare systems are derived from those being produced for the Sukhoi Su-35 multirole fighter and the Kamov Ka-50attack helicopter. KRET is also deeply involved in the Sukhoi T-50/PAK FA fighter project.

In an articlepublished on KRET’s website on 2 August, Mikheev says Russia has been competing with the USA in the realm of electronic warfare “for our entire lives”, and about five years ago the company decided it needed to bring in the next-era of electronic warfare systems.

“Today we are talking about 15% to 20% annual growth in the direction of electronic warfare systems,” he says.

It remains to be seen whether this UAV project is just marketing or a mature development programme with similar goals to China’s Divine Eagle UAV. It would come as the stealthy F-35 enters serve as the West’s primary “first-day-of-war” combat jet.

Nice article about how Russians feel about their relation with Iran:

Russia Should Hurry Up Delivery of Air Defense Missiles to Iran

Russia Should Hurry Up Delivery of Air Defense Missiles to Iran

• And remove the stain of failing to honor the contract with Iran
• It is the case a UN Security Council resolution prevented the delivery, but it was within the power of Russia to prevent UNSC from doing so

S-400
http://russia-insider.com/sites/insider/files/%D0%A1-400-small.jpg

It is often forgotten that what happened to Russia with the French Mistrals is very much a case of bad Karma coming back: just as Russia had already paid France for the Mistrals, so had Iran already paid Russia for the S-300 SAMs. Both Russia and France reneged after the contracts were signed and finalized.

And just as France’s reputation will suffer from the Mistral fiasco, the Russian reputation will suffer from the S-300 fiasco. There might be those who will say that Russia was only following UNSC Resolutions, but to them I will reply that Russia made a huge mistake by allowing such Resolutions to be adopted and, furthermore, that the UNSC Resolution did cover systems such as the S-300. The decision to renege on the Iranian contract was a unilateral Russian decision.

Everybody in the Kremlin is aware of that and this is why Lavrov and his counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif are likely to discuss this issue during their meeting today. I sure hope that they finally come to an agreement.

First, Russia needs to remove that shameful stain on her reputation as a reliable partner. There is no way the Iranians are going to forget what Russia did and nor should they. True, this was a Medvedev decision, and the Iranians understand that, but still – the Kremlin needs to prove that times have changed and, even more so, that Russia has changed.

Second, with all the threats coming out of Congress, Iran critically needs the Russian SAMs. Sure, the Iranians claim that they have developed a similar system (with Russian aid according to rumours), but the Iranian systems are untested and it is unclear how many of those they can produce. Iran is a very big country with a lot of potentially lucrative targets for the USAF and USN to strike in saturation attacks. Thus the quantity of high-end with overlapping engagement ranges is crucial to deter such an attack.

Third, now is the time for Russia to engage in some good PR and presenting a more trustworthy face to Iran. The lifting of sanctions on Iran presents fantastic business opportunities for Russian companies which all will need to have this unpalatable and, frankly, embarrassing episode be put into the past.

Finally, I will note that the S-300 are getting old and that both the US and Israel have gotten their hands on these systems which have no more secrets for them. Russia should either sell Iran upgraded S-300s or jump the gap and sell them the new S-400s. Not only would that make military sense, but it would be a very welcome gesture of apology from Russia to Iran – a tangible sign that a new era of cooperation as begun.

Iran Mulls Russian Military Aircraft Purchase, Joint Space Projects

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Iran is holding active talks with Russia on the purchase of at least two types of military aircraft, Iranian Vice President Sorena Sattari told the Russian Kommersant daily.

"The relevant talks are going well," Sattari said, adding that he cannot give any further details on the possible contract at this point.

The vice president also said that Tehran is mulling the purchase of the Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 plane — a twin-engine regional passenger jet, which became available commercially in 2011.

"If Russia offers us [Iran] good financial terms, a lot of our airlines would be willing to take them [Superjet 100 aircraft]," he told Kommersant.

The sanctions imposed on the Iran by the United States in 1979 blocked Tehran from purchasing new airplanes and spare parts to repair the old ones. The lifting of anti-Iran sanctions, stipulated in the final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program reached in July, will give Tehran a chance to renew its aircraft fleet.

On Thursday, Russian Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Andrei Boginsky told journalists at the MAKS-2015 air show outside Moscow that Iran is considering purchasing dozens of Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft.

According to Sattari, Iran is also interested in using Russian rocket carriers to launch satellites into orbit.

"It is important that this is done as part of joint projects. That is, so that we jointly develop and create satellites and cooperate in the sphere of space rocket construction," Iran’s Vice President told the Kommersant newspaper.

Sattari stressed that Russia has no competitors in the sphere of space technology.

Iran, Russia Sign Deal to Build Satellite Observation Systems

Iran, Russia Sign Deal to Build Satellite Observation Systems
Tehran and Moscow have signed a cooperation agreement to build Iran's own remote-sensing satellite systems, a report said.
Two Russian space companies inked an agreement with an Iranian corporation on Tuesday to create Iran’s own satellite observation system, Sputnik News reported on August 25.

Remote-sensing systems are used to gather information about the Earth's surface, atmosphere and oceans.

Russian company NPK BARL will be in charge of building the system’s ground infrastructure, while another Russian company, VNIIEM, will take care of building and launching the satellites. Iran’s Bonyan Danesh Shargh will be the operating company.

“The pre-contractual arrangement covers the development of an earth remote-sensing system based on an upgraded version of the Kanopus-V1 (Canopus-B) observation satellite,” Russia’s VNIIEM Corporation CEO Leonid Makridenko said.

"The launch on a Russian Soyuz carrier rocket is tentatively scheduled for 2018," he added.

According to the report, the agreement was signed in the presence of Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Rogozin and Roscosmos General Director Igor Komarov.

Iran has in recent years made great headways in manufacturing satellites thanks to the efforts made by its local scientists.

The country successfully launched its first indigenous data-processing satellite, Omid (hope), into orbit back in 2009.

As part of a comprehensive plan to develop its space program, Iran also successfully launched its second satellite, dubbed Rassad (observation), into the earth's orbit in June 2011. Rassad's mission was to take images of the earth and transmit them along with telemetry information to ground stations.

The country launched its domestically-built Navid-e Elm-o Sanat (harbinger of science and industry) satellite into orbit in February 2012.

In January 2013, Iran sent a monkey into space aboard an indigenous bio-capsule code-named Pishgam (pioneer).

And later in December that year, the country's scientists could successfully send a monkey, called ‘Fargam’ (auspicious), into space aboard Pajoheshan (research) indigenous rocket and return the live simian back to earth safely.

No, I guess not.

The problem with USA as one of their diplomat once said is that they can't make up their mind about their policy about Iran.

Until their congress decide about whether they will accept the deal or not, other countries like Russia, India, China and even Germany and France will have the biggest pieces of the pie to themselves.
