That is our old friend RF-5A. Surprised still seeing them around intact. I was under the impression that after retirement all of them had been dismantled or cannibalizes long time ago. Unbelievably, most of their fleet didn’t have the ejection seats and our pilots had to bail out in a Second...

Why do you call me an idiot? Did I insult anyone here? A video is posted in this topic in which a fraudulent activity is misrepresented as a knowledge-base activity ! Using the facts I debunked it. Apparently, this forum does not have a dedicated admin to monitor the ongoing activities, and as...

I am not sure if you were serious in your post, or not. Importing parts from Chinese companies, assembling them, and selling the final assembled product at a higher price than the competitors is not (should not) considered a “Knowledge-based” activity! Especially when the monopoly in the market...

Unfortunately, this is another fake knowledge-based company composed of corrupt people to get the subsidized dollar through their connections in the government sector, but sell the final product to the customers with the calculated prices based on the real (market) value of dollar. The huge...

IRGC has enough spare PT-6 engines from its +25 Tucano fleet. Almost three decades of experience exists within IRGC in using this engine. How many S-149 they plan to manufacture? 10, 20, 50? No need to make a production line for copying PT-6 engine (even if they can) for such a limited number...

One of them is most likely a ground-launched version, as there is no suspension lug/hook on it. In other words, it is not designed to attach to a fighter/UAV pylon. Interestingly, it is the one which gives the low-drag impression to us. I remember, Bina-1 laser guided missile had a land attack...

There was no oil barrel, for God sake. The unit shown in that parade was a real S-300 system, but from other versions (PMU-1/2 for stealth targets) Iran had obtained earlier. We discussed this point many times in the past in this forum. The only issue was that the Missile canisters were loaded...

Let’s agree to disagree. No one has stopped Iran or other nations from copying the ideas of other nations..... Patents become legally void after 19 years, and Iran is welcome to copy F-14, Boeing 707, etc. after having and operating them for more than 4 decades. The reality is different from...

Forget ARM, x86, etc. We cannot be advanced if we play in our rivals’ field. At most we will be a good follower. We need to conceptualize new things and develop them into inventions.

Any idea what Madjeed air-to-air missile is? They said two missiles are planned for Karrar: Azarakhsh and Madjeed!

Admitting to valid points others make is not a shame. Actually it is a sign of work ethics and honesty, and in contrast to how your mindset is formed it will add credit to you as a senior member as well as a hardworking moderator for Iran-related topics. Are you trying to negate the fact that...

Since one of the members is showing a negative attitude, it doesn’t mean we have to ignore some of his/her valid points, especially the scientific facts. The uplift force generated by the wings acts against the downward gravity force. Therefore, for the smaller wing spans, more powerful engines...

Unlike the huge propaganda about such Israeli products, it is clearly based on US Tow platform with some modifications in search and targeting capabilities. So, it didn’t seem to be a heck of burden for Iranian engineers to reverse engineer it.

RD-33 has been successfully installed and tested on both MIG-21 (F-7) and Mirage F-1 in other countries. Also, as discussed above, Al-21F is a modern copy of J-79 with the same dimensions and higher performance in every aspects. So, following EvilWesteners’ terminology of Standardization, these...

Al-21F is basically a modern copy of J-79 engine based on the samples captured by Soviets from the crashed Phantoms during the Vietnam war. It is an excellent choice to replace J-79s, as well as supporting the grounded fleet of Fencers. It is superior to J-79 almost in all aspects.

As of now, due to the grounded Fencer fleet the priority should be AL-21F3.

Apparently changing your mind is a mission-impossible for you. I don’t know how to explain to you! I know the guy very well. More than you can imagine. He doesn’t believe in most of the things you think he does, because he knows how his father lost his life. He is a real patriot like his father.

http://www.ensafnews.com/183423/سقوط-پهپاد-آمریکا-با-سامانه-اس-۳%DB%B0%DB%B0-اجر/ As I said, he is not a phony guy like most of the military folks you refer to. I know him very well and I worked with him in the past. He doesn’t lie (he does not need to).

Even if they wasted the budget, even if the idea is silly, even if there are legit reasons other countries did not go for this route; yet experiencing new things is better than treading water like most other sectors.

Dr. Sourena Sattari clearly mentioned S-300 could not lock on it. I know the guy very well, and I do believe he doesn’t lie.
