No engine recovery.

deliberately wasn't shown to public.

No engine recovery.

Impossible to do that . the missile hit exactly the area that engine was housed.
Even if its recovered its damaged far more than that to be worthy of showcasing.

Not likely. 3rd of Khordad missiles explode in the vicinity of the target in order to increase likelihood of a score. Hence the notion of direct hit on engine is not very likely.

Iran recovered everything including the navy seals that were sent to recover some critical RQ4 parts

any evidence to point to your statement or is this just some rumor.

I think its just some light humour

The shrapnels covering the body of global Hawk if you look close to it shows that the fuse was activated in proximity.

Before the famous Stena Impero, Iran sized a ship that had a Panama flag on it, later Panama said that the ship wasn't used for the purpose it was intended for therefore Panama won't assume any responsabily on the matter.

After that, Iran released the sailors that were on the ship (They were from India if I remember correctly) except for 6 navy seals that were on board disguised as sailors.

it was on twitter at the time, but it didn't get much attention.

That could explain why US is taking Iranians as hostage for a possible exchange .the latest was the iranian analyst..

the video suggested a direct hit or a very close explosion and the explosion and derbies hitting engine resulted in high spped protating part of engine become out of alignment and resulted in destruction of the engine

Theory doesn’t hold much water (no pun intended). It’s hilarious you think 6 navy seals could locate the engine with no support equipment and sonar ship in the dark.

Iran would need to recover the engine very quickly as possible to prevent further damage to critical parts of the engine as well as a wider debris field from water carrying parts away from impact location.

Thus the search and recovery effort was probably launched as soon as confirmation of it being hit. I remember analysts doubting Iran could launch an Search and recovery effort fast enough or have the tools to pull the drones heavy structure out of the depths. But they managed too.

Is your Khordad SAM is radar guided or IR guided SAM, if this SAM system is IR guided than most probably it could directly hit engine compartment or adjacent it, hence upon impact the engine could be destroyed as a result

its both, IR and radar guided

 

[WudangMaster]

I think the Sayyad 2 that was used by the 3rd Khordad in bringing down the drone is radar guided. The Taers might also be rdar based; in a war game a few years ago, one can see a Taer exploding near the target as seen from the camera mounted on the target drone.

The Army and the IRGC establish a joint DCA operations center

On this 4th day of the Decad of Dawn, marking the days from the arrival in the country of the founder of the Islamic Revolution of 1979 until his victory, the first Iranian site for intelligent management and supervision of small aircraft was unveiled in the presence of political and military officials, reports the Tasnim news agency citing the public relations department of the RII army.

"Sepehr" is the name of this first advanced and mostly indigenous Iranian site for intelligent supervision of small aircraft which has just been unveiled this Wednesday (February 3rd) in the area of the DCA of the North-West, adds the source.

"The Sepehr site is capable of performing information management and real-time supervision of all kinds of small aircraft, whether balloons or gliders, or any other object flying across the country," said the sub -Brigadier Azimi, commander of the North West DCA zone.

Iran inaugurates MANPAD Missiles and Solid Fuel production line

See link for the video

Tehran (IP) - Iran Defence Ministry on Saturday inaugurates the mass production line of advanced shoulder-launched missiles and centres for producing solid fuel for ground forces’ missiles.

Iran Press/Iran News: In a ceremony on Saturday in attendance of Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces Major General Mohamad Bagheri and Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami, concurrent with the 42nd Islamic Revolution anniversary, these two strategic projects inaugurated.

First-generation of the shoulder-launched missiles were being imported to the country, but today, the advanced generation of them is being manufactured in Iran, Major General Bagheri said, noting that the missiles have different varieties with a range of around 5 kilometers that can counter various targets.
“This is actually one of the unique product lines of short-range air defense missiles in the region and can fulfill the armed forces' operational needs using advanced technologies in the fields of optics, guidance, and control,” Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces added.

Only three or four countries in the world are equipped with the know-how of producing them. However, today Iran has completely attained the technology, and all the parts are being mass-produced inside the country.
Major General Mohamad Bagheri, about the combined solid fuel production center, said: Increasing the range and speed of missiles used in ground operations was one of the armed forces' needs and aim of manufacturing solid fuel.
Produced Solid Fuel will be used in different tactical surface-to-surface missiles, anti-tank, low altitude air defense missiles, among others.
