Cutting edge Technology generated by the Islamic nations in the middle east

Part 5): Iran Auto industry (Production techniques and Auto makers).

Iran has two large auto manufacturers and several smaller ones.
The two Big guys are IKCO and Iran Saipa. both have in-house design and development teams and strong R&D budgets.
The smaller auto makers are mostly "assembly" houses for various foreign made brands (Europeans, Koreans and China recently).

Iran Auto production at its peak was at 1.5 million cars a year which is a respectable figure compared to big guys. US sanctions have reduced the production to one million. The two big auto makers now use Robotic production methods combined with the traditional man in the loop production. So here are some photos.
Iran has set up auto assembly lines in Venezuela, Azerbaijan and Syria

Kuwait has started an indigenous space program and they are testing their first in-house developed solid fuel rocket. The aim is to puncture through 100 km and reach the space. Here are some photos. This is a good approach to be able to actually launch in-country..with the Sat sizes going smaller even a modest SLV can place sats in orbit.

The Kuwait Space Rocket ( KSR ) is a suborbital launch vehicle to be developed and launched in Kuwait. The project will be the first step towards starting a space industry in the country and a launch service provider in the GCC region.

In a time period of two years we aim to test and successfully launch KSR up to 100 km in the atmosphere, This launch will be a historical first for the GCC. Our plan is to develop KSR to be a suborbital research platform, and then afterwards use it as a stepping stone to develop a smallsat launch provider..

Indonesian is not an islamic country. It places itself as secular. Malaysia who is islamic has great hostility against shia follower. I do know the small number of shia believer in Malaysia are under constant prosecution.

Tell me how many collaboration between Iran and many sunni majority islamic countries? Zero.

You cannot deny Saudi weld great influence in sunni sect. Even Mecca is in Saudi.
lets move away from sect issue
you both make valid points but lets focus on glass half full.

my request to all respected members please share good stories.

Fully agree...enough of shouting at each other.
 
Iran's regular military force finally decides on the selection of a "Standard" issue rifle to replace (G-3) for the regular troops...Rifle is called Masaf-2 and fully designed and built in Iran by the DIO armament factories.

Video shows the tests this weapon has to pass including full immersion in the mud..

It only took 60 years to replace the G-3..:undecided:
IRGC "standard " issue remain AK-103 s for now.

As I mentioned in some other post When Yemen war is over the Yemen National Army will be one of the most battle hardened and Technologically advanced Arab armies in the middle east..

This is an exhibition of military hardware built in Yemen. NO it is not shipped from Iran (there is a full air and sea blockade).. Yemen used to produce some in-house military hardware before the war . After the war started some Yemen Engineers and scientists came to Iran (6 years ago) for some training . These engineers and their colleagues are now producing these sophisticated hardware under constant bombardment...I suspect some parts such as guidance systems or optical components may be from Iran or external sources but they will make those also when the war is over. My respect goes to these Engineers and Technicians.

Mind blowing that Yemen is now the most engineering advanced country on the Arab peninsula! Imagine where they are in 10 years!
 
Iran's two floating Forward Base Ships are now competing with the US.
These ships were briefly described in the previous pages in this thread.
