The Fattah hypersonic missile has a range of 1400 km and is capable of penetrating all defensive shields.

"Fattah" can maneuver in the atmosphere and out of it, remaining invisible to radar systems.

Again, in total denial of the Starlink DEW reality. Time is running out before the completion of the 42'000 orbital platforms by 2027!

Only a few months ago, Hajizadeh claimed it would either take decades to develop an anti-hypersonic system or be impossible altogether. Might have been a little overoptimistic.




Israel's Rafael defense contractor says it has been developing an anti-hypersonic missile, dubbed Sky Sonic. The missile has been in development for around 3 years, and will soon undergo first flight tests.

Interestingly, it is reported Iran reverse engineered Javelin obtained from captured samples in Donba region. Iran has earlier reverse engineered TOW and Dragon delivered by the US in the 70s, the latter being the predecessor of Javelin. Iran has also reverse engineered Kornet.

Iran had purchased the TOW and M47 Dragon back when the Shah was still in power. They purchased it in significant numbers so they had the facilities to do maintenance on those systems. But yes they reverse engineered it later.
I kind of doubt they cloned the Kornet without Russian assistance. The Russians built facilities to make the Kornet in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. So Iran getting a license would not be particularly unusual.

The Iranian Defense Minister confirmed that the desired deal for the purchase of Su - 35 fighters has failed and noted that Iran has the ability to produce these fighters domestically.
There were several scenarios about the reason for the collapse of the deal, including the influence of the Zionist entity on Russia's decision.
Iranian officials have announced several times over the past years their intention to purchase Su - 35 fighters.
Aviation expert Babak taqavi gave an explanation of what happened, where he pointed on his Twitter account to Russia's refusal to transfer the technology involved in the production of parts of Su - 35 fighters to Iran and refused to provide the necessary…

The General Staff of the Armed Forces opposes the acquisition of Su-35 because Russia will not transfer technology for the manufacture of spare parts and aircraft maintenance, they also refuse to supply simulators Su-35 and Su-30

Russia has refused to do such transfer of technology even to India which was its largest Su-30 buyer. On the other hand I can understand Iran's reasons for this requirement since they have been a regular subject to sanctions. They want to be able to continue to operate their own aircraft indefinitely. But their aviation park is utterly obsolete at this point. It is a weak spot in their defense structure, and it is unlikely anyone will provide them the transfer of technology they want to get.

Perhaps it will be easier for Iran to get a deal once the conflict in Ukraine calms down. If they wait long enough they might even go for the Su-57 and Su-75 instead of the Su-35. Another alternative is the up and coming Chinese FC-31 project.

We have had reports that the latest Su-35 aircraft delivered to the RuAF are from the lot initially meant for Egypt. So it is quite likely that is where all those aircraft will be going to.

Iranian boats are heading towards the US landing ship Bataan LHD-5. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy released a video of its boats recently meeting with the US amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD-5) and support ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Rear Admiral Ali Reza Tangsiri, commander of the IRGC Navy, said US helicopters took off from the landing craft's flight deck but were soon forced to land when Iranian boats appeared. The Commander of the Navy of the IRGC said that Iran and other neighbors in the Persian Gulf can provide security in the region themselves. The video has been shortened.

Iran presented at the exhibition of achievements of the country's defense industry, the new Mohajer-10 UAV, the presentation was accompanied by rather militant photos. The Mohajer-10 UAV is equipped with electronic warfare, reconnaissance systems and can carry various types of ammunition, including Ghaem and Almas bombs. Arab. The payload of the Mohajer-10 is twice that of the Mohajer-6 UAV. The UAV is capable of flying at an altitude of 7 kilometers with a range of 2,000 kilometers. The duration of a drone flight can be up to 24 hours. The maximum fuel capacity of the Mohajer-10 UAV is 450 liters, the maximum cargo weight is 300 kg, and the speed is 210 km/h.

Iran has published a short video using the Almas ATGM, this complex is a copy of the Israeli Spike ATGM. The Almas ATGM can be mounted on Mohajer-6 UAVs and AH-1J helicopters and is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 8 kilometers. The ground version of the Almas 1 ATGM hits targets at a distance of up to 4 kilometers. The length of the Almas ATGM is 1100 mm, the diameter is 130 mm, the mass of the missile is 11.5 kg, the mass of the launcher with the missile is 15 kg. The tandem warhead of the rocket penetrates 600 mm of armor. The ATGM is controlled via fiber optic cable, or in fire-and-forget mode.

I Must have missed this?!!! Iran & Yak-130????

Wow. how many they got i wonder.

Also it kinda shows Russian can still deliver goods, despite war situation.
