Iran unveiled the first fully indigenous Arman missile defense system. This complex has already been shown before and even took part in exercises. The Arman anti-missile system was a further development of the Khordad-15 air defense system. The Arman air defense system combines both a launcher and a radar station; previously, a separate truck was used for the radar. By combining missiles with radar on one platform, we increased the mobility and speed of deployment of the complex; it is ready for work in three minutes. The Arman air defense system is equipped with three missiles and a radar with an active phased array; there can be an option without it. The Arman anti-missile system is capable of detecting targets at a distance of up to 180 km and hitting them at a distance of up to 120 km, simultaneously firing at 6 of them.

In a recent IRGC missile exercise, the 'Kheybar Shekan' MRBM carried out a highly intense and abrupt pop-up evasive maneuver. This complex maneuver in the missile's terminal stage, with such intensity and late timing, is a formidable capability that could penetrate advanced air defenses like Israel's David Sling.

That is simply not the trajectory of the warhead. Those Gs, if in that fixed perspective, would have atomised the thing.

What those trails are could be contrails from rockets or others. Possibly scratches or marks on camera lens cover. Certainly not the warhead.

A MaRV may make horizontal maneuvers as it descends but never upwards. I wonder if even a wedge glider HGV could pick up as much gain in altitude as you have drawn. Even if the path drawn is showing a MUCH more exaggerated perspective of such a maneuver.

Iran's Shahid Soleimani-class missile catamarans, review. The Iranian Navy received two more missile catamarans of the "Shahid Soleimani" type, and the fleet was replenished with the ships "Shahid Hassan Bagheri" and "Shahid Sayad Shirazi". Ships of the "Shahid Soleimani" type are multi-purpose missile catamarans with a unique design, low radar signature and made of aluminum. The Shahid Soleimani class missile catamarans have a length of 67 meters and a displacement of approximately 600 tons, they can be classified as corvettes. The design of the ships is based on the Chinese Type 22 coast guard catamaran boat. For their displacement, the ships have serious weapons, which may be different on some ships. Iranian ships are equipped with Nawab air defense systems and Sayyad cruise missiles with a flight range of up to 700 kilometers. Artillery weapons, a 30mm automatic cannon, presumably a 2A42, and a 20mm remote controlled Gatling gun. The ships are equipped with electronic warfare systems. The ship can accommodate a Bell-412 anti-submarine helicopter, and can use UAVs and unmanned boats. The ship is equipped with 4 Iranian engines and has a cruising range of up to 5,000 miles, and a ship speed of up to 32 knots or 59 km/h.
