Honestly, the 76mm main gun is more than enough for that.

Could it be that they want to install CIWS on this one? Deck of Jamaran class ships is too crowded for anything to be added. Not without removing something first. Removing Fath-40 is a logical choice.

The only thing we know is that it has a "steel and aluminum hull" because they had to somehow weld these two together and had quite a bit of problem with it when making Jamaran.

You're welcome. A rather free translation would be: آیت الله خامنه ای کشتی گیر ایرانی علیرضا کریمی را ستایش کرد. A more literal one would be: آیت الله خامنه ای ایران، کشتی گیر علیرضا کریمی را ستایش کرد. The second one will raise some eyebrows though. No one would speak like that. I think it...

Nowhere actually. The videos by this person usually have more descriptive English titles than Persian ones.

A very interesting claim he makes is that unlike Sayyad-3 & 4, Sayyad-2 is simply refurbished RIM-66 and thus, it will be deployed in few numbers. I don't think this is a very credible article and that includes the part about solid state modules.

Near enough. This one looks as if more effort is put into it, but it isn't enough. They have shown that they can automatize their artillery pieces and so have not excuse for unveiling this. If this is just a step before automation, then they shouldn't have unveiled it at all.

HM-41 is the towed version. This one here is a self propelled one. Basir can be used on any 155mm artillery piece we have, including this, M109, Raad-2, GC-45, etc. The problem here is that this thing is a very crude 6 year old project and it sticks out when they already have shown that highly...

Actually, that's HM-41 not GC-45.

These are being used in a wargame not a real fight.

These are unguided Zelzal-2s. What is interesting is that this is Zolfaghar TEL, which we only thought was used for Fateh-type missiles.

It actually says that with the introduction of Negah system, these foreign systems will be removed from the air defense forces.

One can use TERCOM with terminal optical/IR to accurately guide a cruise missile. Many cruise missiles use the former but the latter is needed if you want proper target recognition. It also needs the aerial radar maps of the whole route and it cannot be used in routes where there is little...

Judging from what we are seeing, AK-103 is chosen as IRGC's standard rifle. Imam Hossein Basij brigades might still use some upgraded CQ but might phase them out. Army also is slowly replacing it's G3s with AKM. I think they want to stick with 7.62x39 to avoid the logistics problem of having...
