New images. Very recently an image came out from the internals. Use of INTEL chip as central processor.

The "INTEL chip" is a Intel Altera FPGA

The bad thing about FPGA is it can be impossible to read the "software" (at least with public known tools).
It can be disabled the read-back function by the manufacturer (and obviously Iran must did that).
But maybe the FPGA doesnt process the datalink (the useful part if there is some cheap way of shoot down those drones).
The chips of the bottom (AD9361) must be used to the datalink, to send/receive information wirelessly.
