About the new Ukrainian kamikaze drone. Its origin from the Ukrainian RZ60 drone is very obvious. There coincide the wing, shape of the fuselage and even details like wingtips, bulges at the base of the vertical stabilizer etc. Moreover, there combat drone as option was initialy
Iranian TV showed the remains of small drones that were used to attack one of the workshops of the Ministry of Defense in Isfahan. As we can see, the building really didn't receive serious damage, and it was indeed covered with a special mesh to protect against such small drones
New footages of use the upgraded version of Russian "Lancet-3" kamikaze drone against Ukrainian forces.
This version has been tested in Syria for the first time since at least the 2020 and features a large front X-shaped wing, a larger warhead etc ().
It seems not one two-seat Su-25UB, as in many places have written, but two Ukrainian single-seat Su-25s were shot down by Russian forces on 26th Feb 2022 near Kherson. There two dead pilots and two different tails from Su-25..
Close-up photos of corpses I will not upload
@RALee85
Full nonsense.. Judging by the video with one Mi-8, it was clearly hit by a missile much more powerful than any MANPADS. In the video with the falling Su-34, we also see that the aircraft has lost almost the entire nose. It is also significant that none of the crews survived.

It seems against ukranian forces on "Azovstal" there use this 240mm guided mortar round "Smelchak". Such accuracy is needed if known where the weak points of the shelters at Azovstal are or to destroy the entrances\exists from these shelters.
New Iranian top-attack ATGM - Sadid 365. Project of the Research and Self-Sufficiency Jihad Organization of the IRGC Ground Forces for their armored vehicles. Range up to 8 km. Further this ATGM will be modified with folded wings.
The first confirmation of the purchase of Su-35 by Iran from officials. Member of the National Security Commission of the Iranian Parliament told that the ordered Su-35 should arrive from Russia at the beginning of the next Iranian year. Iranian New Year is just two months away.
Some interesting photos from the beginning of the exercises of the ground forces of the IRGC in Iran near the border with Azerbaijan.
Launchers of the Fath missile systems
Judging by the footage of the naval parade in Venezuela on July 24, 2023, Iranian-made Zolfaghar-type missile boats armed with Nasr-1 anti-ship missiles entered in service of the Venezuelian Navy (Armada Bolivariana).
New Iranian forward base ship "Shahid Mahdavi" officialy entered in service of the IRGC Navy. In addition, IRGC-N received about a hundred different motor boats and boats, including missile boats.
The Chief of General Staff of Iranian Armed Forces general Bagheri and the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Army general Mousavi visited the underground UAV Base 313 of the Army.
IMHO this is first officially unveiled big undeground base, that belonge to Army, not IRGC.

Landing of the BMP-2 and T-72S (upgraded with the Iranian electro-optical protection system )
About kamikaze drone in Eilat. Judging by wreckage it must be Shahed-101. Which, by the way, most likely means that the drone flew from Iraq or Syria, since such a drone is unlikely to be able to fly from Yemen.
Some screens from military parade of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Taliban) celebrate first anniversary of the withdrawal of US-coalition from Afghanistan on August 31 2022.
MD-530F and UH-60A helicopters
Acc to source, this is moment as Russian fighter jet shot down Ukrainian Mi-14 with commander of the Ukrainian naval aviation. This episode was on May 7 in Odessa region. It seems the Russian fighter jet used gun for final hit.
It seems that some missiles were launched from the Israeli side after all. In neighboring Iraq, the remains of at least two unknown missiles have already been found this morning. One in the Latifiya area near Baghdad
Wow, Talibs found in central Panjshir the old missiles for Luna-M (Frog-7) and Elbrus (Scud-B) missile systems. For many years I wondered what happened to them in Afganistan..

I compared the sat.images from Planet Labs that showed before and after the Iranian strike at the al-Assad base that used by US. IMHO there are 8 hit points and another 1 of which I am not sure+not all base showed. Overall impressive accuracy for ballistic missile.
Thread on appeared commercials for export versions of the almost all Iranian missiles from the Fateh family under names BM-X (ballistic missile and x - range).
Under name BM-700 it seems Zolfaghar missile with range 700 km and with detachable Blast or Frag warheads
This Mi-35 (export Mi-24V) that was captured by Taliban in Kunduz airport, was one of these helicopters that India bought and repaired in Belarus and gifted to Afghanistan in 2019.

Thread on some interesting photos from recent demonstrative maneuvers of Islamic Resistance in Lebanon (military wing of Lebanese Hezbollah).
ATGW Kornet-E and TOW\Toophan.
As stated, Russian UAV tracked Ukrainian MLRS to its ammo depot, after which it was destroyed by missile. The video clearly shows the spontaneous launches of rockets after the explosion.
I was able to see Iranian helmets and body armor Ruyin 3. I couldn't test them for shooting, but helmet is light and comfortable to wear. Body armor with ceramic armor plates is also quite comfortable, if spend some time for adjusting. Everything looks to be of good quality.
Fottages from Russian recc UAV (looks like Orlan-10) that tracked postion of the Ukrainian "Grad" MLRS that covered in parking of the Retroville Mall in Kiev. After that, a missile strike was carried out, that was also filmed from recc UAV.
Looks like Yemeni Houthis again used Iranian loitering AA missile known as "358", in this case against Scan Eagle UAV..
Not very fast speed, big X-wing, non-contact detonation - everything matches
Thread on the IRGC Great Prophet 17 drills that started on Dec 20, in the Iran in Bushehr, Hormozgan, Khuzestan provinces, waters of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
Multiple of launches of the different Iranian ballistic and cruise misisles
Geography of strikes by Shahed-136 aka "Герань-2" kamikaze drones on Ukraine continues to expand. Today morning, Shahed-136 strikes Ladyzhynska thermal power plant in Vinnitsa oblast.
On video flight of drone.
It seems new batch with M5xx serial.. At least early known Shahed-136 aka "Герань-2" on Ukraine were with M2xx serials.
"Rescuers and police experts examine the remains of a drone after a strike on an administrative building in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv"
Iranian IRGC performed first suborbital test launch of the Ghaem-100 SLV. As stated, this is fully solid-propellant, three-stage rocket that capable of placing an 80 kg satellite into an orbit of 500 km.
The armed wing of Hezbollah - released footage of the strike against Israeli Hermes 450 UAV. It seems that the UAV was hit by the Iranian loitering anti-aircraft missile "358", but warhead there didn't work, so the missile hit and damage the drone, but didn't completely destroy.
Strike by Russian Lancet-series kamikaze drone against Ukrainian TELAR of the Buk-M1 SAM system.
The hit caused the ignition and explosion of missiles with destruction of the TELAR.
New Iranian kamikaze drone "Meraj 532" for IRGC Ground forces. Claimed range - 450 km at altitude up to 12000 feets (3.66 km) for 3 hours. Warhead - 50 kg.
In a fresh video from the armed wing of the Lebanese Hezbollah with claimed strike on Israeli radar in the area of Mount Meron, it seems that for the first time was shown the launch of a heavy and longer-range version of the Almas ATGM - Almas-3.
It seems the fighter jet (F-5) of Yemeni Houthis fly over Sanna in first case since 2015. Some of F-5 were in service with the Yemeni Air Force when the Houthis took power.
Strike by Russian Lancet-series kamikaze drone against Ukrainian tank. Judging by the detonation of ammunition in the tank, apparently this is a variant of drone with HEAT warhead.
The visit of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to Iran continues. Today he visited an exhibition of the achievements of the Aerospace Forces of the IRGC and a number of very interesting photos were published from there.
New variant of launcher for Shahed-136
New generation of the MRBM Khorramshahr - Khorramshahr 4 aka Khaibar unveiled in Iran. As I understand, this version are distinguished by the new guidance and control system during mid phase of flight (out of the atmosphere) and ampoule storage system for hypergolic propellants
I agree with my colleagues, this is almost certainly one of variants the Iranian Almas ATGMs. Even this green crosshair with a red dot (1) is similar to what was shown in Iran in the video with the Almas-1 ATGM (2).
Hezbollah’s media warfare publishes a video recorded from a missile with a built in camera showing an attack on what it described as a spying dome overseeing Naqoura. This is the first time such documentation is published by Hezbollah.
Thread on new UAVs drill of the Iranian Army that started on 5 Jan 2021
At first, I'll pay special attention to this UAV with new ATGM.
Judging by the serial - "AB4-1-10", this is tenth drone from new upgraded armed version of Ababil-3, perhaps this variant was named Ababil-4?
IMHO Houthis shot down over Yemen another UAV of Saudi coalition (Wing Loong II as claimed) again with Iranian loitering AA missile known as "358".. Slow speed, big X-wing etc as in previous cases.
In Iranian documentary"Parchamdar" for the first time showed the archive footage wuth launch and strike of the famous Iranian-made anti-aircraft loitering missile "358" against Predator UAV. Apparently this video is from Yemen, where the Houthis used them very actively.

Kvadrat - 21 hit 11
S-200 - 8 hit 0
Yemeni Houthis intercepted Saudi F-15 by Fatter-1 missile ( it's SA-6 SAM that were restored or supposedly modernized with Iranian assistance). Judging by how close the missile exploded it was quite likely that F-15 could have been damaged, but still managed to fly away.
According to report, only in the zone of the Ukrainian 92nd brigade, Russian forces with the help of Iranian Shahed-136 aka "Герaнь-2" kamikaze drones have destroyed 2 152-mm SPH, 2 122-mm SPH, 2 BTR-type APC in last days and 155mm M777 before it.
Russian "Inokhodets" UCAV observed one of strikes against objects on "Azovstal" plant in Mariupol.
Possible by this 240mm guided mortar round "Smelchak"
@200_zoka
It seems against ukranian forces on "Azovstal" there use this 240mm guided mortar round "Smelchak". Such accuracy is needed if known where the weak points of the shelters at Azovstal are or to destroy the entrances\exists from these shelters.
Thread on some interesting moments of the Yemeni Houthi's parade in Hodeidah.
New anti-ship missile "Faleq-1" it's probably a variant of the Iranian Fajr-4 guided rockets\missiles, known as Fajr-4CL (F4CL) and equipped in addition to the INS also an optoelectronic homing.
Remnants of the IRIAF F-5F fighter jet, that crashed today in Iranian Tabriz due tech malfunction. RIP to the two pilots who sacrificed their lives trying to pull the plane to where there are fewer people. Unfortunately, one civilian died anyway.
Interesting video with as claimed, base of Sudanian army captured by RSF.
Looks like there rare BTR-3E1 (AFAIK there only 10 were purchased from Ukraine) and mortar carrier on Iranian Boragh chassis (Sudan assembled it from Iranian parts as Khatim-2).
Strike by Iranian Ababil-2 kamikaze drone against sea target during exercize of Iranian Army. Note that this variant of the Ababil-2 is equipped with a camera.
