A video capture showing the on-board front-mounted camera on the Karrar UAV. This confirms the Iranian statement concerning the camera installment on the Karar. What remains is further data as to what sensors are carried on board which the Iranian military has stated that the drone possess.

Karrar - Iran's New Jet-Powered Recce and Attack Drone Iran has this week unveiled a new type of turbojet-powered drone designated 'Karrar' (striker - in Farsi), described by Iranian officials as capable to perform long-range reconnaissance and attack missions. Iranian Defense Minister...

Guidance and control remain the key elements of a UAV apart from it's physical abilities. Whereas, physically a drone can be designed for very lengthy ranges, without adequate control mechanisms, the process reaches its death knell and cannot be processed further and reduces survivability and...

This is a very incorrect statement that Iran's cultural heritage negates Islam. Iranian culture and the morals attested to that culture are tied with the Islamic beliefs of the majority of Iranians. Moreover, Iran's older pre-Islamic culture isn't secular either for it is strongly influenced and...

Iran test fires Fateh-110 missile Wed Aug 25, 2010 7:30AM Iran has successfully test fired a domestically-built Fateh missile, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi says. The new generation of Fateh-110 is a medium-range ballistic missile and is more accurate at aiming...

Castro: US in checkmate over Iran Wed Aug 25, 2010 1:58AM Former Cuban President Fidel Castro has said Washington is in a checkmate position with Tehran, reiterating the devastating consequences of any US threats against Iran and the danger of a global nuclear war. "The Yankees are...

This is what I was emphasizing. As to the wing loading, the Karar has a low-wing loading. I for one don't understand how you understood it to be a high-wing loading aircraft whereas there is enough pictorial evidence to show otherwise. As to the endurance (length of flight/ area of...

This is an incorrect assessment. However, to further your own statement, creating hype about Iran is also utilized by the American administration to prevent public objection to foreign policy. There are historical examples of this in relation to other nations as well. Generally, Iranians like...

The above only highlights your little understanding on Iranians so that you are forced to use generalization, which of course are inherently wrong as are all such groupings. Also, whereas the Holocaust does form a significant segment of it, the Israeli symbolism concerning their national...

I now well, Fedayeen. It was a mis-type. I wrote about the matter later in detail. See my previous post.

I had suggested the same for Iran not too long ago. The sole reason was that there are a large quantity of articles on Iran already present on this forum under different headings and having them accumulated and present under one sub-form would offer better organization.

Greetings... I want to ask Turkish and Greek members here as to what would it take to achieve a re-conciliation, or the semblance of one, between their countries. The mistrust exists at both ends of the Aegean and overlaps centuries. That may not be remedied but what would it take to at least...

Actually, even if one considers them an ardent foe, one has to admit that the Sepah Pasdaran have made milestones from themselves and have developed into an organized credible force, within their doctrine. As to the last bit, I completely agree with you-- it's what lowers their reputation the...

One really cannot comment on the operational effectiveness. It remains in theory alone. The design is indeed workable though. Refer to my earlier post concerning similar USAF and USN projects, especially the BGM drone series. It lands primarily via parachute and is then retrieved. It's other...

The article presents a good cover up by means of manipulation of the facts and the events of the time. It isn't the first and like those previous, works better for those who aren't aware of Iran's political history. In fact, I have read the above posting before already. Rather, I have read...

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ---------- Iran Equips High-Speed Zolfaqar Vessel with Cruise Missiles TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi announced on Monday that the country's Navy has equipped its new...

This is a rather interesting idea. Iran has also been manufacturing helicopter/ chopper UAVs for some time. However, as expected, Iran releases no information as to it's experience with them and upon their feasibility. From media releases, Iran utilities it's models for scouting and combat...

Nothing is known about it's flight plan. As for the 1,000km range, that is probably the maximum most where as it's real operational range is perhaps 500-600km only, which means that it is intended to hover around a designated area. As for intelligence gathering, that is not it's purpose. Iran...
