Engine seems to be missing

NOT missing,
not been shown, that was one of first part we recoverd

Nothing special about that engine anyways! The most sophisticated things on that platform is one of the most sophisticated SAR radars in the world and a compact portable supercomputer with sensor fusing technology.

And in terms of Air Frame a light and highly sophisticated light airframe design with radar scattering tech, engine noise reduction tech & heat reduction tech.... so a gold mine in terms of composites

Listen to what he is saying at 20:55 regarding the Bavar-373 version in 2 years time:

Seems next gen Bavar is already in the work? @yavar

Once you create a system like this development and upgrades never stop,theres always some improvement to be made when new technology becomes available or new enemy weapons are developed that have to be matched.A good example of this would be the soviets/russians upgrading of their various sam systems,hell even the old sa1/s25 berkut which was arguably the first sam system ever deployed was still being upgraded right up until the beginning of the 80s by which time it was a quarter of a century old.
A more up to date example would be the upgrades to the s300 where virtually no part of it was left untouched.

It will be very interesting to see just how the b373 develops in the future.

Yes, he seems very confident it will be more advanced than S-400! They must be working on something special

Whats rather bizarre in light of this is that the old rumor of iran wanting to purchase the s400,supposedly as well as other russian sams ie buk[LOL!],still seems to be alive and well and doing the rounds.

Well our Russian friends have offered Iran S-400 already. I don't see it happening. Any new purchases from Iran will most certainly involved airforce+TOT.

One of my "wishes" was always for Iran to develop cheap and easy to manufacture surface to air systems and proliferate them amongst the resistance groups. That would be almost as game changing as the ballistic missile proliferation. Our enemies rely almost entirely on their air dominance when it comes to potential conflicts with our allies. The more we can neutralise that, the better.

@VEVAK

Your wish has come true, Iran has developed micro-jet powered missiles.

Your analysis was not far from reality! Great work!

Yup and it started with the Akhgar!

I truly believe that this is not only the low cost type of cruise missile system we will need in the battlefield but it will also allow relatively slow MALE UAV's to respond more quickly and at a safer distance then ever before!.

And against fortified bases and or ships because it's cheap it will allow cheaper swarm attacks before the far more expensive systems come in to finish the job and is a far more sound option against softer targets

Now we know what those small artillery rockets/stretched manpads were for,these were the boosters for the missile.What we thought was a rear mounted laser seeker was actually a small commercial turbojet.

This is basically a small cruise missile not a sam,probably with a range of many tens of kilometers.I wonder if it has a fiber optic link like a lot of these non line of sight type missiles have.Another advantage of these is their potential to loiter looking for targets of opportunity such as sam systems,armored vehicles,helicopters etc..
Whats surprising is how long it is,it could be getting close to 3m,which is probably why the designers went for a separate under mounted booster rather than a tail mounted booster,its also odd that we havent seen a more compact purely rocket powered version with a range of 10-20kms.

^ It looks similar to the ALAS missile developed by the Serbian company EDePro
