Agreed. Seems to be two main obstacles for IRIN, 1º.- Underfunded branch. The new VLS for Soleimani class it is the last of many examples of amazing achievements that IRIN are not receiving. 2º.- There is not a standard class of Moudge class frigate. All of them are different, and some...

Excited to see about final layout of Taftan. It should be like Damavand II. They put the gravity point lower and you can add some more weapons.

Usually IRIN accepts navy ships without some equipments. Damavand II lacks ECM equipment that Jamaran/Sahand/Dena have, in this screenshots lacks the FCR for the Fajr 27 and even IFF antennas. Like CIWS you well appointed On the other hand, in the main mast, there is no any plate on the main...

If you think Russia will be dismantled and kneel in front of western powers, you are omitting hundreds of years of Russian History. The Russian people did some of the most awesome sacrifices like some other asian countries like China, Vietnam, Iran or even Japan. This is a internal mutiny...

interesting pictures; You can see hard training (sailing and firing exercise in rough seas), security training (fire aboard) and tactical exercises. IRIN has a brilliant future if they enjoy the proper funds for it. If you check regularly open google maps you will see always a Moudge class...

A warrior has fallen!. R.I.P.

Believe me, an aluminium ship cant never be a good warship. It is an oximoron. Aluminion is weak and prone to fire (Type 21 frigates during Malvina´s war). It is cheap, it is easy to build, they are fast, sea control capable ships... but never combat ships. So Moudge frigate, specially the...

That is why I said that those kind of long journeys will help IRIN to request to Iranian naval industry the changes and further modifications in any future class of warships. Unfortunately nobody is helping iranians like PLAN (Chinese navy) experienced in the past. IRIN must done it completely...

Why are you assuming Russia will break the contract?. Any hint in official or related to government media?. They can do it, but if they do, they will be pariah forever. The CAATSA sanctions are depriving Russian top industries some key exports, so if Russian doesn´t deliver Iran they will more...

Something I cannot understand it is why IRIN are getting their warships so damn slowly, specially when you see the rapid development of surface forces of IRGC Navy. IRIN have turned in one year the world and challenged EU navies sailing to Russia last year. They deserve a better investment!!!!

Maybe they are launching the new "Battlefield 2023"... or they are filming Independence Day III. Who knows

Bad example. South Korea relies all their aeronautical industry in high ToT from foreign companies, from LAH/LUH helicopters (which is basically a licensed copy of a Dauphin/Panther) to KF21 that has F414 engines, european missiles and radar integrating ELTA and Saab technology. It is just the...

The most interesting it is that IRIN is investing in a frigate with phased array radar (Damavand II and Taftan?), but, at the same time, IRIN is developing another frigate with hangar for helicopter. Moudge class frigates have reached a limit in their development. But it is really remarkable how...

Even if your assumption it is true (I don´t think so) it is understable why russians are not the best in some military areas. Being the largest country geografically, they are less than a half of population of USA and nearly a tenth part of China. It is impossible to lead in all technological...

It is not only a matter of Su35 only. Iran need technology for turbofans and turboshafts for new helicopters. And agreed, with Russian-Ukranian war the ToT now is possible. Moreover Russia can find a partner in future projects in Iran, because India and China will be out because sanctions. If...

Well, technologically is much more challenging that those FACs. Navigation it is harder and you need excellent sensors (shallow waters are much more noisy than blue water ones)... and propulsion must be longer range than light torpedoes or heavyweight that IRIN usually operates.

Exactly. Moreover, Iran should do like chinese did with J7 (Mig 21). Chinese industrie renewed it slowly, from wing to engine... avionics, radar, weaponry. And Kowsar it is the best candidate for it. Just that. Agree Kowsar can´t be a frontline heavy fighter jet. But can be the fighter that...

Excuse me but Chinese were making soviet planes copies from early 50s, like Mig-15. So please keep yourself a bit more informed. Turkey has been producing UAVs only in the last 20 years.

You have seen a IFF transponder two weeks ago developed.... for UAVs. So, in this way IRGC UAVs are evolutioning.
