I wonder if these are built in Iran..one of them has optical ball for Search and rescue..

2 significant developments

1) the container launched Fateh will allow for civilian disguised launches which may or may not be against rules of war. However, the West is also doing this so it remains to be seen what the official ruling is.

2) the increased firepower on the Cobras is a refreshing change from the mere rockets it was carrying before.

We've talked over the years about Iran's prioritization of other fields such as rocket science, and air defense but this seems like a larger focus on ground equipment.

Those 6 canister trucks may not be Fatehs but a shorter range artillery rocket to support ground troops. Ground launched Almaz, improved ground support on Cobras, supporting artillery rockets, improving unit protection via MRAPs, and some more UAVs to support them.

To me it appears their is more emphasis on the ground these days, this is also in addition to exercise we saw earlier this year where IRGC units were properly outfitted with supplies at a squad level, including the use of AK-103s of which all of them had medium/short range scopes which is unprecedented in Iran.

I think that if you can build an airframe for a mohajer 6,then you can certainly build one of these,
In addition,it makes little to no sense from either a military or logistics standpoint to continue to risk purchasing items like this from unreliable western [or other] suppliers.

Heres a good close-up of the different seeker variants.

Looks like either 3 or 4 seeker types,plus I`d assume that theres very likely a millimetric one that we`ve still to see.

A pretty good collection of mines,including directional anti-personal type[on the left] and directional self-forging anti armor/anti-vehicle types on the right.

No,its based on the israeli spike atgm,hezbollah captured 2 of these systems back in the 2006 war,one of which was captured completely intact.
I wouldnt be surprised tho if iran also had access to captured examples of the javelin and possibly even the south korean raybolt,which the saudis had used in yemen.The down side to the new "fire and forget" imaging infrared guided systems like the javelin is that they are VERY expensive compared to the standard kornet type atgm.

Heres a side on comparison between the almaz and the spike.You can clearly see that the almaz launcher appears to be a bit more compact than its israeli counterpart.

I think these are new pictures of Karrar Tank during Trials?
If so could Anyone who’s knowledgeable about tanks could perhaps see any changes from the original design? Thanks!

this is not karrer, this is t72 upgraded

Looks very similar to what was unveiled as a "Karrar" a few years ago. It's not exact, but seems like elements of Karrar are installed on there for testing.

Unless you are referring to the specifications which is based on the T-72 Chassis.

See properly 2 tank are different

It’s T-72 upgraded, the turret has not been modified just new ERA package installed around it. The cannon also does not have the sheath installed and is original cannon. It has the remote gunner and commander sight. Has laser warning receiver, but different aerosol configuration. Still lacking any AP system still relying on passive system.
