Iran to produce new cruise missiles
Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi says the country will inaugurate the production line of new domestically-manufactured cruise missiles in the near future.
“Iran's Defense Ministry will unveil important arms, marine, aerospace and electro-optic achievements in the new Iranian calendar year (started on March 21),” Fars news agency quoted General Vahidi as saying in the western Iranian city of Kermanshah on Thursday.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.
In January, Iran successfully test-fired surface-to-air mid-range Hawk missile and the Iranian Defense Ministry delivered new naval cruise missile systems to the Navy.
The systems, designed and manufactured by Iranian experts, are capable of spotting and destroying different targets at sea.
The Navy has successfully test-fired a range of powerful missiles mounted with laser technology, which display high precision and have a range of 45 km (28 miles) to 300 km (186 miles).

Un ami iranien m'avait expliquer qu'au collège et au lycée, les jeunes avaient des cours lié à l'armée, ce sont des cours de guerre asymétrique, guérilla, de tir, de combat, de nettoyer une arme, etc.. Ce type d'entrainement à l'école est obligatoire pour les hommes.
Alors que je me disais, qu'on était (Turcs) un peuple d'armée... Les Perses ont pu garder leur tradition.

Iran mounts missiles on hovercrafts
An amphibious hovercraft of the Iranian Army Navy Force, (File photo) A senior Iranian naval commander says the country's Army has for the first time equipped the Navy's hovercrafts with long-range missiles.
“Iran is the only country in the world that has fitted its navy's hovercrafts with surface-to-surface missiles,” IRNA quoted Rear Admiral Seyyed Mahmoud Moussavi, a top Navy commander, as saying on Saturday.
Rear Admiral Moussavi attached special importance to the installation of such missile systems on the amphibious craft and pointed out, “Regarding the hovercraft's special qualities, including high velocity and versatility..., they can operate in various coastal and naval areas.”
The senior naval commander also referred to the 'comprehensive' researches in the country for the mass production of hovercrafts.
“The deployment of these hovercrafts has boosted the deterrence power of the Islamic Republic's Navy and substantially increased our capacities due to their high speeds,” Rear Admiral Moussavi concluded.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.
In January, Iran successfully test-fired the mid-range, surface-to-air Hawk missile, and the Iranian Defense Ministry delivered new cruise missile systems to the Navy.

Iran Boosts Combat Capability of Strategic Aircraft
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian Air Force commander announced on Monday that the Iranian experts have successfully revived the capabilities of the country's strategic Sukhoi-24 aircraft, including its laser missile capabilities.
"Our experts have revived important capabilities of Sukhoi-24, including its laser missiles, radar-guided air-to-ground missiles and long-range missiles," Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Air Force for Operations General Seyed Mohammad Alavi told FNA.
"Recently, the aircraft's laser missiles in a successful test-fire hit the target with zero-zero error," Alavi added.
He further said that the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) plans to test-fire the aircraft's long-range, radar-guided high-precision missiles in the near future.
"A number of high-precision television guided missiles of the fighter jet have already been tested and yielded good results," the commander noted.
Last week, IRIAF displayed a wide range of its operational fleet, including its strategic fighter jets, in an air show to be held during the annual military parades.
In August 2010, the Iranian Army equipped its fleet of Sukhoi SU-24s with newly developed night operations systems enabling the fighter jets to accomplish missions at nights.
"Sukhoi fighter jet has been optimized by the Army Air Force experts and now has the capability to hit and destroy targets with high precision in absolute darkness," Alavi told FNA at the time.
Also in August, a senior Iranian commander announced that the country's Air Force had equipped all its fighter jets with new radar systems and electronic devices to improve their performance in night operations.
"New electronic and radar systems have been used by the Air Force for night flights," General Amir Hossein Chitforoush told FNA at the time.
"These systems were upgraded and optimized during the last year and we are using them now," he added.
Chitforoush further explained that night flights, combats and bombardments are carried out in absolute darkness and merely with the help of highly advanced radar systems, thus, to conduct night flights and bombardment, the country's fighter jets should still be equipped with more upgraded equipment and systems.

Iranian Air Force Equips F-14 Fighter Jets with Hi-Tech Radars
TEHRAN (FNA)- The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force has equipped all its F-14 fighter jets with highly advanced radars, Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Army Rear Admiral Farhad Amiri announced on Sunday.
"The radar system of these fighters are highly complicated because it consists of a set of separated parts which should be linked to each other when they are mounted on the fighter jet, and this is a very complex scientific and technological process," Amiri told FNA.
"Our radars used to be mainly American and British in the past and these were the Americans and the British who determined the place for mounting our radar systems and they were, thus, fully informed of their blind spots," he said.
"But today that we produce all our radar systems domestically, we ourselves specify the place where these systems should be mounted and installed," the senior Army official said, and added, "And we cover the blind spots with other systems."
Iranian officials have announced that the country has now reached self-sufficiency in producing radar systems in different frequencies and for various ranges.
Also, Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Ahmad Miqani announced in November that the country's experts are boosting the range of home-made air defense radar systems to 3000km.
"Iran is working on a radar system that can cover areas within a range of 3,000 km," Miqani said, adding that the system will enable the country to identify all flying objects around the country.
A senior Iranian Air Defense commander also said in October that Iran's radar systems can detect all flying objects in the entire region, even in the Persian Gulf littoral states.
"In addition to the Southern borders and waters, all Persian Gulf littoral states are under the cover of the radars of the Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base," Commander of the Air Defense Unit of Southeastern Iran General Habibollah Alizadeh told FNA at the time.
Referring to the production of radar equipment and instruments inside the country, he said that Iran has gained self-sufficiency in producing radar systems and it is no more dependant on any foreign country in this ground.

New ballistic missile delivered to IRGC
Iran test fired Qiam ballistic missile on August 20, 2010. An Iranian commander announces the mass delivery of the Qiam (uprising) ballistic missile system to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
"The mass production of the Qiam missile, the country's first missile sans stabilizer fins, shows the Islamic Republic of Iran's self-sufficiency in producing various types of missiles," IRNA quoted Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi as saying on Sunday.
He added that Qiam's design reduces the possibility of being detected by enemy anti-missile systems and the omission of its fins has increased the missile's speed.
"The missile is able to hit its targets with high precision," he said.
Iran successfully test fired the Qiam surface-to-surface missile on August 20.
Qiam is part of a new generation of domestically-manufactured surface-to-surface missiles with liquid fuel.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and achieved self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.
In January, Iran successfully test-fired mid-range, surface-to-air Hawk missile and the Iranian Defense Ministry delivered new cruise missile systems to the Navy.

Iran plans to build advanced submarines
The 120-ton Ghadir submarine Commander of Iran's Navy Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari says the country's naval forces plan to build “modern submarines" for a stronger Iranian presence in international waters.
“The construction of modern submarines is underway according to the needs of the country's naval forces for a stronger presence in international waters,” Sayyari told IRNA on Wednesday.
Sayyari noted that the naval forces are using new military equipments to “defend our country, interests and maritime borders.”
In April, the Navy announced plans to manufacture and deploy a new 500-ton submarine that is larger than Iran's current Ghadir submarine.
The 120-ton Ghadir submarines joined the Iranian naval fleet in 2007. The Islamic Republic navy is believed to be operating more than ten of the light-weight subsurface vessels, primarily in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
In recent years, Iran has made important breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems.
The Islamic Republic has repeatedly declared that its military might poses no threat to other countries, stating that Tehran's defense doctrine is based merely on deterrence.

Iran helicopter crash kills two
A military helicopter belonging to Iran's Air Force has crashed near the central city of Isfahan, killing the pilot and co-pilot, a senior Iranian official says.
“The Cobra 209 helicopter belonged to the Shahid Vatanpour training base,” Deputy Governor of Isfahan Mohammad Mehdi Esmaili said on Monday.
Esmaili said the crash was caused by technical problems in the helicopter.
No further details have been reported about the incident.
Iran has suffered a number of aviation disasters over the past decade due to its aging air fleet.
In April, an Iranian Army aircraft crashed near the southern city of Sarvestan in Fars Province while on a training mission, killing the pilot and injuring the co-pilot.
The sanctions imposed against the country by the UN Security Council and the US prevent Iran from updating its aerial fleet, and make it difficult to obtain European spare parts for planes.
In January, at least 77 people were killed and 27 others were injured when an Iranian passenger plane crashed near the northwestern city of Orumiyeh.

Iran Unveils Underground Missile Silo: State TV
TEHRAN - Iran's Revolutionary Guards on June 27 unveiled an "underground missile silo," which the elite force said will allow them to launch the country's long-range ballistic missiles, state television reported.
The broadcaster showed footage of a facility at an unknown location, with an "underground missile silo" holding a projectile described as a Shahab-3. The unveiling came as the Guards began a military exercise on June 27, codenamed Great Prophet-6, which was to include the launching of different range ballistic missiles. "The technology to build these silos is completely indigenous," the state television website quoted the exercise's spokesman, Col. Asghar Ghelichkhani, as saying. State television also showed a missile launch, without specifying its type or when the firing took place. With a range of nearly 1,240 miles (2,000 kilometers), the Shahab-3 is a liquid-fuelled missile that can theoretically reach Israeli territory as well as U.S. bases in the Middle East. In recent years, Iran has tested a dozen of these missiles, which are believed to have been derived from the North Korean No-Dong missile. The Islamic republic says the latest exercise would carry "a message of peace and friendship to the countries of the region." In late May, Iran said it had equipped the Revolutionary Guards with a new surface-to-surface missile, the Qiam-1, which it said was built locally and test-fired last August. Iran says it has a wide range of missiles in its arsenal, and regularly boasts about developing projectiles with substantial range and capabilities. Western military experts cast doubt over its claims, however. The country's missile program, which is under the control of the powerful Guards, along with its space projects, has been a source of concern in the West. World powers fear that Tehran is developing a ballistic capability to enable it to launch nuclear warheads, which they suspect Iran is seeking to acquire under the guise of its civilian atomic program. But Iran has steadfastly denied the Western allegations, insisting that its nuclear and space programs have no military objectives.
