Made in Iran

[sahureka2]

It is gas refinary that collects all unused gas that used to be burnt as flair day and night for years..so basically making 1.5 billion dollars every year from something that was going to waist..not bad if u ask me.

Great news but what engine....who's engine..engine has always been the bottel neck for any iranian helo.

I also asked myself the same question.
when the prototype was presented it was stated that this is powered by two Turbomeca Arrius engines with a power of 640 hp at take-off, and the transmission was provided by an Austrian company therefore I also ask: will the series production SABA-248s have engines and transmission made abroad (import) or will they be produced in Iran?

PS:
it would be interesting to develop an ASW version of this helicopter as well, is there information on that?

thanks

The farsi text say that the gearbox and hydrolics are already built in iran...engine imported from Agusta-westland (a surprise to me )..working on an Iranian engine...6 helos per year production.

Ps. ASW version would be great but it mentions military version can not use that engine as per contract.

Imagine this with an automated turret. 1 x 30mm autocannon and 2 x Toophan ATGMs, 1 on each side.

These would be great with an automated turret with an autocannon and Toophan ATGM.

with some IR cameras, yes that would be perfection

Toofans looks like American MRAP?

 

[sha ah]

I believe it's based on the Typhoon MRAP by Streit group. Iran reverse engineered it. According to Wikipedia, the following countries use them

noooooo idea

 

[Bahram Esfandiari]

when we will see it in Iran !?

When either the Artesh, IRGC or the Law Enforcement Forces purchase it from the DIO.

Very true...I know they have few in Eastern border..This is one of the best looking MRAPs I have seen..to be honest way ahead of any Ground vehicle Iran has done for Military...

Yes, we need to see the mass production of Toofan and this beauty, Raad MRAP:

No doubt budget restrain are slowing the production process but we need to see these systems enter true mass production for Iran's armour industry to take off.
