Great thing about these kinds of investments is that they will last 100 years+, for basically anything that requires storage in a secure location. So you are really getting your moneys worth than an aircraft itself which would be fully outdated in about 35 years.@AmirPatriot @Stryker1982 @Blue In Green @aryobarzan @Hack-Hook
What did I tell you guys?!?!
Looks like some Iranian military engineers read my posts
Seems like I missed it and no one is talking about it, but it looks like a air-launched CM was shown to be UAV capable? "Haidar"

This secret UAV base is great but I noticed that none of the UAVs have EO cameras equipped and so I'm slightly puzzled...
F-35 can reach Iran with mid air refueling. Or do you need to check global security to use basic intelligence?
And yes I use F-35/F-22 as Iran’s primary threat because the most likely war would be fought against US/Israel. It seems you are preparing for a war with Azerbaijan since that’s all you quote.
Everything resembles an F-5. It’s an upgraded F-5, which in itself was a cheap light plane ment to be supplied to banana countries during the 60’s.
Owj engine is merely reverse engineered F-5 engine. Radar has been upgraded yes, but still outclassed against radars on medium and heavy fighters.
Combat suite has been upgraded from analog to digital and incorporation of LCD screens.
You keep saying BVR Missiles. Which one are you referring to for the Kowsar?

As I have said, Kowsar has its place as a light support aircraft and advanced trainer for Iran. It’s those like you who try to make it an air superiority fighter that I do not agree with it.
Yes Israel and US. Who do you plan to go to war with? Afghanistan? UAE? Iraq?
It seems all you can do is regurgitate either one single article of how Iranian Air Force positioned itself in a foreign conflict it had little chance of entering. Or going to global security and using that as your Bible of aircraft capabilities.
We quite frankly do not Iran’s data link capabilities across the unified air defense network.
Nonetheless my point is factual. F-14 and Mig-29 are Iran’s best assets right now to defend airspace. And Iran will need an air superiority like fighter in SU-30 class range to defend its airspace. Kowsar cannot be that fighter.

well food for taught, if the next generation Kowsar have better engine why not.Nobody in this forum at least, including me has ever said that Kowsar (or its next gen) is going to replace F-14AM, MIG 9.12A (61 operational fighters) that we have.
The N019 radar weighs around 385 kg in total. It is a pulse-doppler radar operating in X band around 3 cm wavelength. It uses three basic operating regimes. High PRF radar mode for optimal detection of closing targets, medium PRF mode for optimal detection of receding targets, and an interleaved high/medium PRF mode for all aspect detection. It uses a guard channel for sidelobe suppression. SARH Illumination and main channels use different frequencies within the X band, and are multiplexed in time. Individual aircraft can be preset on the ground to different frequencies to avoid mutual interference during group operations. Scanning cycle times are 2.5–5 seconds depending on mode. Beam width is 3.5º, which determines the minimum separation of two targets in azimuth. The radar beam is stabilised up to 120º in roll and +40º/-30º in pitch. N019 is a hybrid analogue/digital design, with an NII Argon Ts100 digital processing unit. The Ts100 processor can achieve 170,000 operations per second, has 8K RAM and 136k ROM, and is built using medium scale integration ICs. It is based on the proprietary POISK architecture developed at NII Argon, which allows adapting of the instruction set to control system functions by expanding the basic instruction set with microcodes inherent in specific tasks. Compared to machines using the same elements but a generic instruction set (e.g. the ES EVM architecture Argon-15A of the MiG-31) processing capability was enhanced by 1.5 to 2.5 times and the code 3 to 5 times more compact, making Ts100 much cheaper to produce. The Ts100 computer weighs 32 kg
you see that's how usually the radar work but there is some problem even there.Mode “V” (Vstryehchya): Encounter
Encounter mode is the main search mode used in interception, as it gives the longest detection ranges and the least false returns. It uses a High PRF mode which can detect closing targets only in the velocity range of 230 – 2500 km/h at altitudes from 30m to 23,000m. The display is calibrated to a maximum range of 150 km. Target can be up to 10,000m above or 6,000m below the host aircraft’s own altitude. A typical 3 sq m RCS fighter target can be detected at 50–70 km and tracked at 40–60 km. If the target is flying below 3,000m reduces the detection range to 40–70 km and tracking range to 30–60 km. Two basic scan patterns are used. When the system is under direct GCI control via datalink, a 6 bar elevation raster scan is used. This scan covers a sector of 40 degrees in azimuth at ranges up to 30 km, 30 degrees at ranges of 30–55 km, and 20 degrees above 55 km within the scan limits given above. The distance to target and other useful information is supplied by GCI command, and the direction of the scan is automatically cued by CGI command towards the desired target. When the system is not under direct GCI control via datalink, a 4 bar raster scan mode is used to acquire a target manually. This mode scans a constant 50 degrees in azimuth, with the pilot controlling the direction of the scan. It is expected that the rough direction to the target will be given by ground control via voice commands. There is no scan pattern for full azimuth range scanning. The 130º scan area is divided into 3 sectors. Left sector is -65º to -15º, centre sector covers -25º to +25º, right sector from +15º to +65º, giving overlapping coverage of the full 130º scan limits. Individual targets can be resolved providing they are separated in azimuth and 5–6 km in range. Range measuring error of a single target can be as high as 8 km, which should be recalled when comparing measured target range with that supplied by GCI controller. Minimum measurable range in this mode is 5 km. Lockon and transition to tracking mode takes 2 to 7 seconds in Encounter mode. Note that in Encounter mode, a target that changes direction to a tail-on engagement may be lost even when in tracking mode, if it is no longer closing.
our mig-29 has N01EB not Phazotron Zhuk-M that is put on SMT variants and everybody has and the capabilities on sites like Wikipedia are based on that Radar. by the way N019 radar already compromised to USA in 90s so even mig-29 9.13 get a newer radars called N019-TopazN-019 is the USSR standard model.
N-019EA is the version supplied to Warsaw Pact countries. Lacks “SP” mode.
N019EB is an export variant for general export. More downgraded. Less capable TS100.02.06 digital processor. Lacks “SP” mode.
well food for taught, if the next generation Kowsar have better engine why not.
our mig-29 have not been upgraded and are equipped with original N019 Radar and original RD33
you see that's how usually the radar work but there is some problem even there.

You say: our MIG-29 has not been updated and are equipped with the original N019 radar
Prove it factually and if it was the opposite? Speculation or verifiable truth?
They are put on before flight. Most of these were probably taken out of storage conditions (disassembled) for the “video”. You can see crates in a part of clip which I am assuming houses dissembled drone components.
I should also add, that, I am not sure if this is a storage base for UAVs and munitions or their will be direct take-offs from the base.This secret UAV base is great but I noticed that none of the UAVs have EO cameras equipped and so I'm slightly puzzled...
Go for the J-10C. SU-35 is overrated and expensive. If you want to go for a flanker J-16 is far better, but it is not for export.Unless we get some 100 x Su-35S or J-10C I do not see even the F-4E/D fleet retiring.

Either way, the UAVs already deployed on airbases/airfields would be installed, but UAVs in storage would not need EO cameras installed as they are not actively being used. It helps increase the life-span and condition of the unit if securely in airtight crates.
Good info and I do not question your sources..of interest to me is 2 Yasin...did Yasin finish flight tests ..is it certified yet...it has two ** on it..Total Airframes of IRIAF/IRGCF (just the plain numbers in hangers + warehouses).
