Since the early 1990s, and probably even before then, China has supplied Iran with anti-ship missile (AShM) know-how and hardware. The relationship between the two states has progressed to the point that Iran is now assembling and operating a complete family of AShMs that are tailored to its national needs

bro, the chilli part can be laughed off as a gaff, but my beef with this idiot in that report is opposition to legislation curbing child exploitation, especially of a sexual nature, not to mention prosecuting children who most often are abducted by terror groups, and forced to wear explosives after being drugged up, yet this guy wants to prosecute, these victims even those who've not commited any crimes nor were caught/prevented while commiting crimes, but perhaps might be forced into such situations to do so, and we're talking about kids under 12y/o!

as an Iranian and belonging to that particular generation that opened thier eyes during war .... i understand this situation better than anyone else .... We have our own antisocial children problem .... All those children who ran barefoot over land mines to clear way for Iranian armour and those who rolled thier bodies in carpets to roll over land mines so that thier bodies can later be buried in one piece .... we remember it all , all human wave attacks ... today Basij includes around 5-8 million youths ( US study ) ... all these children ready to sacrfice thierselves though we r 100 times more stronger than we were some 20 years ago ..
seeing Afghan and Pashtun suicide bomber children I sometimes think that thier is something seriously wrong with Iranic race ... either we r too brave or we just lack human sense ...
well back to Mr. Malik ... If i remember correctly when A Pakistani Naval compound was attacked this guy was claiming that the militants came in star trek clothes .

TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan on Wednesday underlined the army's high capability to produce different hi-tech military tools and weapons, including a modern fire-control system mounted on the home-made Zolfaqar Tanks.

"The (new) fire control system of Zolfaqar tank has been manufactured and unveiled and the laser telemetry devices have also been mounted onto the tanks. Zolfaqar can now vie with the world's most advanced tanks," Pourdastan told reporters on Wednesday.
Zolfaqar is a second generation of Iran's main battle tank (MBT). The test prototypes of the tank were evaluated in 1993. Six semi-industrial prototypes of the tank were produced and tested in 1997. The tank has a distinctive box-shaped, steel-welded turret of local design. Zolfaqar combat weight is reported to be 36 tons and has a 780 hp diesel engine; the tank has a 21.7 hp per ton ratio.
Zolfaqar is operated by a crew of three personnel. The automatic loader is believed to be the same one from the T-72 tank.
The Zolfaqar-1 uses a fire control system which enjoys a 'fire-on-the-move' technology. The Zolfaqar mounts a laser-warning pod on the turret. Its design enables the tank to use an Iranian-made package of reactive armor.
Zolfaqar-2 is a prototype tank used as a test bed. The Zolfaqar-3 also features considerable upgrades to the fire control system, chassis, engine and main gun, with a 125mm autoloader.
As regards other achievements, the Iranian Army commander said that Akhgar machineguns have been manufactured by Iran's Self-Sufficiency Jihad and have been supplied to military units.
Akhgar is a Gatling type machine gun. it has 7.62 caliber and an effective range of more than 2km and has a fire rate of 4000 to 6000 rounds per minute.
Pourdastan further announced that the army has also built and started using the country's first home-made Vertical Wind Tunnel, adding that the tunnel is a new and unprecedented project in Iran and even in the region.
A vertical wind tunnel (VWT) is a wind tunnel which moves air up in a vertical column. The wind tunnel, frequently advertised as "indoor skydiving" or "bodyflight" is also a popular training tool for skydivers.

2) plastic F 16s ( as pointed by Skull )
3) claiming iranian scientists work with NESCOM
4) false claims of iranian air force inventory ( fulcrum numbers )
5) claiming RPG 29s hits KO'ing M1s in iraq , while video evidence clearly showed otherwise
6) and now plastic Tanks

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – A senior Iranian commander says the country has reverse-engineered an American spy drone captured by Tehran's armed forces last year and has begun building a copy.
Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who is chief of the aerospace division of the powerful Revolutionary Guards, was quoted Sunday by the semi-official Mehr news agency as saying that experts are also recovering data from the U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel captured in December in eastern Iran.
U.S. officials have acknowledged losing the drone. They have said Iran will find it hard to exploit any data and technology aboard it because of measures taken to limit the intelligence value of drones operating over hostile territory.

This Tank looks great and it is interesting that it has 3 Guns, two are 12.7mm Dshk Guns and one is a 7.62mm Mg-3 why so much ? ( I would replace the one 12.7mm and MG-3 with a Strela-3 Manpad.

I wont say deliberate ... no military designer can be this fool that it would just go the copying route ... in Zolfighars case , iran has spent 13 years on research , Zolfighar 1 was created and saw some mass production upto 3 figures ... then Zolfighar 2 came which was merely a test bed for Zolfighar 3 ... now we have zolfighar 3 ...
Everything Iranian defence industries have created so far , is either reverse engineered copy or some version of US or Russian designs .

good point , incorporation of SA-14 or Misagh-2 (Iranian version of QW-1M and QW-18 ) would give the vehicle an additional duty .

My friends on our forums were calling it iranian version of Hermes 450 ...
This one is Sher dil ( probably ) they will be properly unvieled in next military excersizes i suppose
This was another ... we r keenly waiting for new addition of Aja magazine or next military press release or excersizes for names of these new Stuff ...
Karrar UCAV - not new but Recently took part in Great Prophet SAW 7 excserizies ... launched ground attacks along with Su-25 , video showed it dropping PGMs ..... It has a range of 1,000 kilometres and could carry two 250 lb bombs ( PGM load of 500lbs) . The Karrar can also carry four kowsar light anti-ship missiles or one Nasr-1 cruise missile. The Karrar unmanned combat air vehicle is 15-17 ft long and has a Locally designed turbojet engine (Tolue 4 ) which can reach the speed of 900 kph .....


Carrying 2 x AShM


Those who were following my thread before these forums changed ...... would already know Mohajer 3 ... recently supplied to Venezuela

Iran and China are the only two nations currently using Anti Ship Ballastic Missiles ... Itself Khalije fars is the only Ballastic missile in the world using Optical guidance , Other being the great Russian Iskander M .....israeli Military analysts described Khalije fars as "The game changer" in persian gulf ...
It is a quasi ballastic missile with a range of 300 km , speed is 3.7 -4 mach ... Propulsion is Solid feul single stage .... Terminal Guidance is Electro optical .... it can strike the target from above at high angles or sideways like conventional AShMs , It has a remarkable CEP of around 4-5 meters max ... recent missile excersizes showed it destroying a large Mobile target (an ex iraqi oil tanker ) ... literally ripping it apart from the middle ( 650 kg warhead ) ... great footage taken from Missiles Camera showed it approaching+steering towards mobile target at very high speed ....
i m having trouble posting the vids here ... please search it on youtube or visit iranian forums ....
at 60 degress

at 30 degrees
Images from Missiles Seeker targetting the mobile vessel before strike ......


Some innovation ... a triple mobile launcher for khalije fars ... One IRGC general mentioned that khailje fars will be used as salvos ... around time when british type 45 was dispatched for Persian gulf ... I hope zelzal are fired towards any vessel with chaff warheads in high numbers first .... they would increase the dead time in between the engagement event ...
Shahab 3 can be seen in background ....
