What's new

Made in Iran

I don’t think Iran is stupid enough to give missiles to UAE who could easily turn them over to US for inspection.
I suppose the low end Iranian arms are being sold in the international arms market via arms dealers. Country of origin does not matter ...price and quality are the major deciding factors.. Arab petro dollars are buying arms from these markets and ship them to whoever they want.. And yes we are going off topic in this thread..
 
First of all, in my opinion this issue is not off topic since this thread is about anything made in Iran.

I agree with you. This is what I'm saying. When it comes to the proliferation of weapons, there is a UN arms embargo on Libya anyways so sending weapons to Libya is technically illegal under international law, no matter how you want to look at it. In such a "grey zone" conflict acquiring weapons from Iran, another "grey zone", makes sense. UAE and Iran are geographically very close which makes transactions extremely easy. The more you think about it the more it makes perfect sense for Iran and UAE to do this.

For Iran it's a dream come true, super convenient, much needed revenue. Just ship the weapons across the Persian Gulf, not much risk either, no smuggling necessary. Just pure profit and it provides Iran with much needed funds, new markets to sell weapons and at the same time it helps Iran blunt Turkish influence.

It seems as if there's only positives in this for Iran. Of course again, UAE has lots of options when it comes to purchasing such weapons but with Iran being so close and with Iran being a major missile producer that can match or outbid any potential rivals it makes sense.

Now what I'm wondering is specifically which weapons or parts Iran is selling to the LNA via the UAE.

I suppose the low end Iranian arms are being sold in the international arms market via arms dealers. Country of origin does not matter ...price and quality are the major deciding factors.. Arab petro dollars are buying arms from these markets and ship them to whoever they want.. And yes we are going off topic in this thread..
 
there was news that some UAE emirs are actually pro Iran... so UAE political environment is not that united (about Iran being enemy) as we might think.
 
Iranian Electric Bikes to Break into Market

Iran-made electric motorcycles will get into the market very soon in an effort to reduce air pollution and cut the gas subsidies currently paid by the government.

The CEO of Bana Sharif Electric Vehicle Development Group said the company has succeeded in carrying out all the processes of producing electric motorcycles, including designing, prototyping and manufacturing.

Bana Sharif is a joint venture between Sharif University of Technology and Jahanro Company. The company focuses on developing electric vehicles and its supporting infrastructure.

Pouyan Ahmadizadeh, the CEO, said the prototype of this electric bike has been fully prepared, and it has obtained the licences required to break into market.

“Obtaining a plate licence is one of the final steps. If approved, the last problems in the way of commercialising the product will be resolved,” stressed Ahmadizadeh.

With every charge, which costs about 1,000 Tomans (about 6 cents), the vehicle travels 65 kilometres. Considering the gas price hike, this increases the cost-efficiency of using the product.

Ahmadizadeh further mentioned that the battery of this motorcycle is guaranteed for two years by the company, as it is one of the key components in electric vehicles.

Due to the rise in the price of gasoline and the relatively inexpensive price of electricity in the country, the use of high-quality electric motorbikes can be a reasonable and environment-friendly option for the future of intercity transportation in Iran.

Currently, citizens in various countries, especially in Southeast Asia, use electric motorcycles on a daily basis. In Iran, sooner or later, vehicles with non-fossil fuels will be welcomed in the country’s transport sector.

and just like Iran selling low grade weapons to traitorous Sudan- it wasnt for ideological purposes- it was mostly financial, and both were sanctioned then, so who else could they trust while both under heavy sanctions and international scrutiny. yes, arms biz is lucrative for everyone who has arms that are in demand.

there was news that some UAE emirs are actually pro Iran... so UAE political environment is not that united (about Iran being enemy) as we might think.
If we go by one of my favorite logic (from Brian Tracy) - "Every choice has an implied rejection". based on this, UAE has often taken the least hurtful(and public) steps against Iran relative to other Sunni PGCC countries.
 
Package for manufacturing electric cars prepared: MAPNA

TEHRAN – Managing Director of Iran’s MAPNA Group, a group of Iranian companies involved in the development and execution of industrial projects, says the group has prepared a package to be used in the production line of electric cars or to turn regular cars into electric ones.

“This equipment can be utilized to electrify the cars being produced as well as the cars that have been produced and the owners request to electrify them,” Abbas Aliabadi told IRIB.

According to the official, manufacturing electric cars from scratch is a simpler process, however, turning regular cars into electric cars based on international standards is also possible.

Aliabadi further noted that European countries electrified the existing vehicles before launching the production line for manufacturing electric cars.

"We have made plans in coordination with domestic automakers and will follow up on them to electrify domestic cars," he said.

Emphasizing the importance of developing the infrastructure for manufacturing electric vehicles in the country, the official said: "We are installing the charging stations for this type of car across the country and we are ready to develop this equipment. Currently, these stations have been installed in Tehran and Mashhad and will be implemented in other cities in the near future."

MAPNA Group is a group of Iranian companies involved in the development and execution of thermal and renewable power plants, oil & gas, railway transportation, and other industrial projects as well as manufacturing main equipment including gas and steam turbines, electrical generator.

Imagine Tehran without pollution. Will be one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
 
5 cents to charge, 70km range. I could see these becoming popular in Tehran and other Iranian cities.
Wow, impressive. Iran's technological reach and ability is amazing, especially when considered in the context of sanctions...there are developing countries today with NO sanctions who cant do what Iran is doing under sanctions.
 
If only they had known about Coronavirus... that mall is most likely empty with businesses bleeding dry.
