Speaking of mysteries... Sofreh Mahi mock-up close shots. An unidentified mock-up. This was showcased earlier as well.

The Sacred Defense Week parade has had an established tradition of displaying new Iranian hardware and some rather mysterious systems as well. Take the two vehicles below for instance: This vehicle hasn't been seen before. I believe it is a Boragh IFV mortar carrier variant given the...

It isn't an Iranian version of the Humvee. How did you arrive at that conclusion? It's an evolution of similar purpose Iranian dirt-bike units as I stated before. It's a mobile open all-terrain vehicle for two people. It is used by field medics as well and to transport light equipment by means...

More Parade units. The last two are milita in ceremonial attire and representative of Iran's multi-ethnic self. Vetrans Sofreh Mahi ("Sting-Ray" ) - mock-up. Nothing more is known about this project. Karar - UCAV. T-72 with slat armor. It is meant to to...

The Iranian Sacred Defense Week is an annual commemoration of the 1980-1988 Iraqi imposed on Iran. As part of the commemoration, a parade is held by the armed forces. The parade is interesting in that Iranian units are showcased and as such the event allows an insight into the more recent...

================================ I am somewhat unsure as to what military use these can be utilized for. Perhaps they can carry AShM's on their wings (probably an Iranian Nasr-1 or Kowsar). Of course, in such a scenario there would be the obvious risk that water would pose to the missile, the...

You have indeed the right to your own views but that isn't what I was addressing. I was more interested in the reasons underlying your opinion on intentional exclusion in your views of Iran from nuclear energy. In my perspective, the addition of nuclear energy to Iran's power grid would do...

Some more images from the Iranian media:

The upgraded versions appear in very good condition. Iran has apparently used its own developed composite parts. The engines, Allison T56, are most probably to be the most problematic element for Iran. It seems as if the engines have been overhauled, but that is my own assumption alone. I am not...

Iranian Experts Optimize C-130 Military Cargo Plane TEHRAN (FNA)- A C-130 military cargo plane optimized and upgraded by Iranian experts carried out its first flight in a ceremony attended by Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi on Sunday. Addressing the ceremony...

I am curious to know why you advocate an exclusion of Iran from nuclear energy-- a right which I believe all states should have if they choose to. I myself am very supportive for a large nuclear energy base for Iran.

How exactly does disabling a civilian nuclear power plant prevent a war and save lives? The only situation where a risk to human life would be a consequence would be in the case of a melt down. I would deem an attack as such to only heighten tensions further.

Computer attacks linked to wealthy group or nation 09/26/10 LOLITA C. BALDOR, Associated Press Writer Email this story to a friend WASHINGTON (AP) — A powerful computer code attacking industrial facilities around the world, but mainly in Iran, probably was created by experts...

If Iran is simply reimbursed of all expenses, then technically it can no longer lay claim if it accepts it but it isn't as simplistic as this because a dispute cannot simply be reversed and place the two parties/countries as if it hadn't even occurred. To point out a simple example, even if the...

It is not a matter of offense, in actuality the situation is indeed the same. From the Iranian perspective, Iran has contracted, paid and not received, hence has sued. It has a simplistic legal pinning which Iran is able to justify and hence it continues with it. The Iranian leadership has...

Sir, you make it unsparingly simplistic. Budgetary woes aren't easily covered and more importantly, they aren't the only hindrance to Iranian manufacturing. Moreover, Iran does not have a mass-production base and neither is Iranian industry orientated towards it-- to direct it in this regard...

As to the part about the engines, I would generally agree with that because Iran does not have a very large engine manufacturing base. As to the part about metallurgy and the stock avionics and control features on the AH-1, I would disagree as the manufacture of avionics and parts for the said...
