ID’d: Foreign VIP aircraft at THR for 2nd inauguration of Rouhani http://inteloniran.blogspot.com/2017/08/foreign-vip-aircraft-at-thr-for-2nd.html

Much is said about the "small" intakes but they seem to appear near same-size to the F-5E, which makes sense for GE J85 powerplants. Why did they require a taxi test for a 60 year-old GE engine design using old factory cores? An engine stand would have sufficed. It doesn't make sense designing...

Iran Navy warships dispatched from Persian Gulf to Oman, and also to Kazakhstan at Caspian Sea http://inteloniran.blogspot.com/2017/04/iran-navy-dispatched-to-oman-and.html

This is a bit late, apologies: Imagery, details from IRIAF "Path of Light" Air Show at Dezful http://inteloniran.blogspot.com/2017/04/iriaf-path-of-light-air-show-2017.html

Imagery and details for IranAir’s 3rd new Airbus jetliner (reg. EP-IJB) arrival at THR http://inteloniran.blogspot.com/2017/03/iran-airs-3rd-new-airbus-airliner.html

EP-MNM returns to MahanAir after wartime wet-lease by SyrianAir http://inteloniran.blogspot.com/2017/03/ep-mnm-returns-to-mahan-air-after-wet.html

There isn't a dedicated Iran civil aviation thread and the following is Airbus-related, so perhaps there is interest here: Zagros Air swaps to more recent, stretched Airbus aircraft http://inteloniran.blogspot.com/2017/03/zagros-air-changes-airbus-aircraft.html

This item is from last month but I didn't have linked-URL privileges at the time, perhaps there is some interest here: Iran’s National Police receive locally assembled Kia Cerato vehicles http://inteloniran.blogspot.com/2017/02/irans-national-police-receive-locally.html

Might run contrary to "chill" for some here :-) but didn't know where to put this NAJA-related item and its historic setting: Assembly of Iran police at Tehran Railway Station http://inteloniran.blogspot.com/2017/03/assembly-of-iran-police-at-tehran.html

Thanks but that imagery is of main armament installation into turret, not turret manufacture. Thanks for the helpful response. Yes, ERA modules attached to upper glacis plate similar to known existing examples and possibly local. However modules at turret and rear hull louvers appear as part...

Iran media imagery of Pakistan Navy flotilla arrival at Bandar Abbas - PNS Tippu Sultan (185) frigate - PNS Jurrat (1023) fast attack craft-missile http://inteloniran.blogspot.com/2017/03/pakistan-navy-flotilla-arrives-at.html

I don't think this was mentioned on this thread: Last Saturday IRIN publicly stated 44th Flotilla had made it back to home port from South Africa after a 5 month voyage. I wonder what the repair bill was from Dormac. They do appear to have come through for them. http://www.dormac.net/dormac-dock-1/

A number of questions regarding the Karrar: - Where is the origin of the armor kit? That is to say: turret, ERA modules, armored louvers, etc. - Where is the origin of the FCS? - Where is the origin of the digital vehicle instrumentation, and does this indicate a revised powerpack? - Will there...

EP-IJB ferried 10MAR2017 CHR-TLS, F-reg after paint prior delivery (per Skyliner)

That's what this looks to be, an upgrade package that will extend life of existing stocks of T-72 through to duration of embargo, possibly beyond. (Dependent on IRIG funding, of course.) As an upgrade, reminds me of latter Magach/Sabra series. Likewise, Karrar upgrade potentially marketable.

Amazing. Zolfliqar was for the most part a result of Iranian exposure to OIF and ally Iraq's M1A1. It really went nowhere. But this. It's a result of experience with T-90 in Syria, with existing T-72 series stocks appearing upgradeable. It promises a Safir-like upgrade for T-72. In ways this...

Well no, it's not me that would be wrong. It would be the IRGC-ASF commander, who publicly declared that President Rouhani suspended the SLV launch due to U.S. pressure.

Rouhani yielding/suspending SLV launch is expected from a moderate administration. To the Europeans, Russians and Chinese, it demonstrates continued dedication to JCPOA and conflict resolution. Whether or not the Iranian electorate decides to stay the course this May is yet to be seen. The...

It's possible the "Fadak-1 rocket and Toophan ATGMs" image was from Iran's exhibit in 2016, as it was used for the exhibition's brochure.

Iran Air Airbus A330 EP-IJA arrival at THR. This makes 2nd new jet received by carrier, post-JCPOA.
