Trafic israélien vers l'Iran découvert en Grèce
Des Israéliens vendaient des pièces détachées d'avions F-4 à Téhéran via une société fantôme en Grèce
Une enquête américano-grecque a révélé que des marchands d'armes israéliens ont tenté de vendre à l'Iran des pièces détachées pour des avions F-4 par l'intermédiaire d'une société fantôme en Grèce, en contravention avec les sanctions internationales à l'encontre de la république islamique, rapporte le quotidien grec Ekathimerini.
L'Iran dispose d'un nombre important d'avions F-4. Il s'agit de l'appareil de combat le plus produit depuis la guerre de Corée.
Une enquête secrète a tout d'abord été diligentée par l'agence gouvernementale américaine Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) qui a ensuite coopéré avec le département des Drogues et Armes de l'agence grecque de lutte contre les crimes financiers (SDOE).
Selon les éléments de l'enquête auxquels le journal grec a eu accès, l'opération s'est déroulée en deux phases: la première en décembre 2012 et la seconde en avril 2013.
Dans les deux cas, les enquêteurs ont repéré des chargements contenant des pièces de F-4 en partie emballées sur le territoire grec.
Ces pièces ont été envoyées à partir de la localité israélienne de Binyamina (à l'est de Césarée) et étaient destinées à l'Iran, par l'intermédiaire d'une société grecque Tassos Karras à Votanikos (quartier d'Athènes). Le SDOE grec a établi que cette compagnie était une société fantôme qui appartiendrait à un ressortissant britannique résidant à Thessalonique dont on a perdu la trace.
Selon les rapports du HSI américain, la cargaison aurait été envoyée par des trafiquants d'armes basés en Israël tentant de fournir l'Iran en contravention avec l'embargo d'armements à l'égard de l'Iran, en utilisant le territoire grec comme pays tiers.
En novembre dernier, un tribunal d'Athènes a ordonné la confiscation des marchandises et son transfert aux autorités américaines.
Les rapports, tant américains que grecs, ne mentionnent pas l'identité des trafiquants israéliens. Les autorités israéliennes n'ont pas encore réagi à cette information.
Les Etats-Unis ont imposé un embargo sur les armements et les pièces détachées à destination de l'Iran depuis 1979 après la révolution qui a renversé le Shah et l'ont étendu en 1995 à toutes les sociétés ayant des relations avec les autorités de la république islamique.

Iranian Army Overhauls C-130 Military Plane
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian experts repaired and overhauled a C-130 military plane used for transporting equipment and military forces.
The Maintenance and Logistics experts at the Martyr Major General Abbas Doran 7th Base in the Western city of Shiraz managed to overhaul the C-130 plane.
The overhauling operations of the plane took 23,000 man/hours of work.
The C-130 plane joined the Iranian Air Force fleet after making its maiden flight.
In October, Russian Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Viktor Bondarev said he was surprised to see the Iranian Air Force’s capabilities in overhauling different types of airplanes.
“I witnessed the efforts made by the Iranian technicians in overhauling fighter jets and cargo planes and as an air force expert I was happy and surprised to see such progress,” Bondarev said after visiting Iran’s Shahid Babayee Air Base in Isfahan province.
“The Iranian Air Force’s capabilities in building parts and equipment and overhauling different types of planes and helicopters indicate that the international sanctions have not affected the activities of the Force,” he added.
The Iranian Air Force announced in August that the Iranian experts in Shahid Nasser Habibi air base in Northeastern Iran managed to overhaul two mirage F-1 fighter jets.
The overhauling operations of the two fighter jets took 45,000 man/hours of work. The two aircraft joined the Iranian Air Force fleet after making their maiden flights.
Iran also announced in June that its experts in Shaheed Fakouri air base in Iran's Northwestern city of Tabriz are overhauling different types of aircraft, including the strategic Mig-29 and F-5 fighter jet.
"The (country's) second air base is in a high state of preparedness by overhauling its Mig-29 and F-5 fighter jets highly effectively and manufacturing different plane parts," General Massoud Rouzkhosh said.
"Considering Iran and the region's strategic and sensitive geographical situation, the armed forces should always remain in a state of full operational readiness," the pilot added.
In August 2012, a Mig-29 fighter jet of the Iranian Army conducted its test flight successfully after being overhauled by local experts.
The aircraft which was down for 12 years could experience its first flight after it was overhauled at Shaheed Fakouri air base, which took 21,000 man/hour of work.
The Iranian experts spent 24 months to overhaul the strategic fighter jet and mounted three types of modern electronic systems onto the aircraft in a bid to increase its technical and backup capabilities.

Iran to Unveil New Home-Made Fateh 500 tons Submarine Soon
According to Fars News quoting Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, Iran's new home-made submarine, Fateh, will be unveiled in the next few months. “Following the construction of Qadir (class) submarine by the Iranian Navy experts, Fateh submarine will be unveiled early next (Iranian) year (to start on March 20),” Sayyari said in the Southern city of Bushehr on Sunday. According to Fars News quoting Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, Iran's new home-made submarine, Fateh, will be unveiled in the next few months. “Following the construction of Qadir (class) submarine by the Iranian Navy experts, Fateh submarine will be unveiled early next (Iranian) year (to start on March 20),” Sayyari said in the Southern city of Bushehr on Sunday. Iran's Fateh class submarine
Fateh (Conqueror) is an Iranian designed class of semi-heavy submarines. The Iranian media reported that Fateh class subs can operate more than 200 meters below the sea surface for nearly five weeks. According to satellite imagery first boat of the class was launched in 2013 and a second one is under construction at the Bandar Anzali Naval Base on the Caspian Sea. The Fateh could be an improved version of the existing 29-meter Ghadir class that the Iranians have been building for years.

Iranian Navy to Send 30th Flotilla on African Mission
March 18, 2014 - 17:13 TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iran’s Navy plans to deploy its 30th fleet of warships to Africa in the next Iranian year (to start on March 21), a Navy commander announced.
Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari announced on Tuesday that the country’s 30th naval fleet is planned to be deployed to Africa next Iranian year in order to voyage around that continent.
He made the comments during a visit to an exhibition in Iran’s northern port city of Nowshahr, held to put the latest achievements of the country’s naval forces on display.
The commander noted that such missions are part of a broader plan to increase the presence of Iranian naval forces in the international waters, both on board ships and submarines.
Sayyari further unveiled plans for a joint rescue and relief naval drill in cooperation with the Omani navy in the coming Iranian year.
The upcoming joint exercise will be held on April 7, the commander noted, adding that it will extend over three days.
The Islamic Republic of Iran and the Sultanate of Oman have already staged a number of other joint maritime drills in the past to raise the level of preparedness to handle a range of naval events.

Iranian UAS are Worthy of Serious Consideration
Observers of formal Iranian reports dealing with the development of various weapon systems have been familiar, for years now, with the ritual where various weapons are presented to senior officials, normally in the presence of the Iranian Defence Minister, who has the honour of unveiling “the world’s best and most advanced” weapon systems, as they are normally introduced.
Knowledgeable authorities in the field of ordnance, platforms and weapon systems, upon carefully examining the images distributed by the various Iranian news agencies, often find themselves chuckling in the face of non-operational systems. Do the armed forces of Iran rely on weapon systems made of fiberglass and sheet-metal? Apparently, various journalistic sources (worldwide as well as in Israel) tend to dismiss the Iranian presentations as a capricious whim of the Iranian regime or as a spectacle put on for the benefit of the masses of the Iranian people, who are not fully familiar with the intricacies and secrets of the trade. Over the years, we have become accustomed to seeing tanks mobilized on trailers, old missiles repainted over and over again, and various other outdated items or mock-ups. It would seem, however, that with regard to very few categories, the Iranian presentations are not misrepresentations. This applies, for example, to Iran’s heavy missiles and satellite launchers. Recently, another category of Iranian products has joined the realm of “real stuff” rather than just a spectacle – Unmanned Airborne Vehicles. In July 2006, during the second Lebanon war, UAVs operated by Hezbollah in Lebanon entered Israel’s airspace. These UAVs, shot down over Israeli territory, were identified by the media as Ababil (“swallow”) UAVs and their technical quality was rather poor. Over the years, Iran presented an extensive range of UAVs at exhibitions, military exercises and through various official publications. Some of the Iranian developments make one wonder. One example that comes to mind is the Unmanned Combat Airborne Vehicle designated Karrar (“striker”): this turbojet UAV carries unguided GP bombs but does not have even a rudimentary surveillance system. Another example was the public introduction of a UAV fitted with an oversized canopy designed to accommodate a satellite communication system (like similar western vehicles) – while Iran has no communication satellites of its own, and relying on commercial communication satellites for communicating with an operational vehicle of this type appears questionable at best. Many of the experts who evaluated the Iranian capabilities in the field of UAVs tended to remain unimpressed. Apparently, however, the Iranian manufacturing capabilities in the field of UAVs have undergone a substantial change recently, and some of the vehicles unveiled by the Islamic Republic seem fairly advanced, although they tend to resemble western vehicles generally and Israel-made UAVs in particular. Iran’s latest developments in the field of UAVs are based in part on direct copying of foreign UAVs that had crashed in Iranian territory and were subsequently salvaged, as in the case of the small, tactical ScanEagle UAV built by Boeing (through its subsidiary Insitu), which evolved in Iran into the Yassir UAV. An analysis of various images and video clips distributed by the Iranians has shown that an Iranian facility manufactures copies of the original UAV, and many dozens of UAVs were seen at the facility in various assembly stages. A close examination of the materials released by Iran revealed that the actual building of the Iranian UAV conforms to much higher quality standards than the cruder and more familiar UAVs, including those employed in the skies over Syria – a fact that signifies an improvement in the work and assembly procedures of aerial platforms made from composite materials. One bit of information that has not been clarified until now involves the source supplying the engines for these UAVs – that and the quality characteristics of the payload. It may be assumed, with a high degree of probability, that external resemblance, regardless of how high the quality of the copying has been, cannot necessarily indicate equally high quality standards of the avionics and surveillance systems. This UAV has two configurations that differ in their tail sections. In October 2013, a Yassir UAV was presented to a Russian military delegation visiting Tehran as a gesture of goodwill, and possibly as an act of defiance toward the USA. In November 2013, clips filmed in Syria began to crop up on the web, showing an airborne Yassir UAV in the service of the Assad regime. Photographs of such vehicles that had crashed or were shot down and subsequently presented to the media by rebel organizations indicate with certainty that the vehicle in question is the Iranian-made UAV. Another interesting UAV presented by Iran is the Shahed-129 (“eye witness”) UAV, defined as a Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MALE) UAV. This UAV was introduced to the world in 2012, and resembles the Elbit System Hermes-450 UAV made in Israel. The vehicle was unveiled initially through a series of rather blurred clips, with no breakdown of its capabilities. In September 2013, during the visit of senior Iranian officials at the plant that manufactures this UAV, additional information was made available. Of particular interest was the fact that this UAV is armed. The ordnance it carries looks like TOW antitank missiles, probably with a laser guidance head. The configuration in which the missiles were presented – carried under the wings of the UAV – was a departure from standard operational installation (which requires canisters), but it was obvious that the two armament suspension points under the wings of the UAV carried four missiles. Photographs enable a close examination of the payload carried by this UAV, which appears to be an industry standard product containing a stabilized camera with day and night channels, and possibly also a system for guiding precision guided munitions. A relatively advanced airborne vehicle, possessing a reasonable carrying capacity and an endurance of twenty hours or more constitutes a major breakthrough as far as Iran’s UAV capabilities are concerned. The operational implication for Israel is fairly obvious and presents a challenge to the Israeli air defense systems. Penetration by a single UAV from Lebanon during peacetime, against which IAF fighters may be scrambled to engage and shoot down the enemy UAV is not the same as the ‘trickling’ of numerous vehicles during an all-out confrontation, during which massive amounts of rockets are also launched into Israel. The status picture of the sky that Israel should assemble, as well as the advance identification required, present complex challenges. It should be stressed, however, that the damage sustained by the State of Israel thus far as a result of penetrating enemy UAVs was mainly a damage to morale, and the Israeli public perceives such incidents as serious and even as “failures”. The latest innovation presented by Iran, for now (November 2013), is the Fotros UAV, defined by Iranian spokesmen as a “strategic” vehicle. It is a large UAV with a central fuselage and twin-boom configuration and a wingspan of about 15 meters. Its endurance is up to 30 hours, its official service ceiling is up to 25,000 feet and its range is 2,000 kilometers. If these performance characteristics, officially presented by Iran, are reliable, then for the first time, Iran possesses an indigenous UAV capable of flying from Iran to Israel. The UAV was presented in an armed configuration, carrying missiles that resemble the US-made AGM-114 Hellfire antitank missiles. It is unknown whether Iran actually possesses real missiles of the type described above. The resemblance between the Iranian Fotros UAV and the IAI Heron UAV made in Israel was clearly visible, and there is no doubt that the Iranian engineers were “inspired” by the Israeli UAV. One should not rule out the possibility that in their configuration selection considerations the Iranians did not just want to rely on successful and proven designs, but also attempted to reach a high degree of visual resemblance that would make it difficult to identify their UAVs as hostile, thereby improving their survivability should they be employed over Israel. In conclusion, it appears that the Iranian UAV industry has undergone a substantial transformation in recent years, as it currently presents products that are more advanced than those presented in the past. The UAVs we currently see in Iran are employed, in part, in various areas of conflict (Syria, Sudan) and are also being delivered to Hezbollah.

Iranian Ship, in Plain View but Shrouded in Mystery, Looks Very Familiar to U.S.
WASHINGTON — Iran is building a nonworking mock-up of an American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that United States officials say may be intended to be blown up for propaganda value.
Intelligence analysts studying satellite photos of Iranian military installations first noticed the vessel rising from the Gachin shipyard, near Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf, last summer. The ship has the same distinctive shape and style of the Navy’s Nimitz-class carriers, as well as the Nimitz’s number 68 neatly painted in white near the bow. Mock aircraft can be seen on the flight deck.
The Iranian mock-up, which American officials described as more like a barge than a warship, has no nuclear propulsion system and is only about two-thirds the length of a typical 1,100-foot-long Navy carrier. Intelligence officials do not believe that Iran is capable of building an actual aircraft carrier.
“Based on our observations, this is not a functioning aircraft carrier; it’s a large barge built to look like an aircraft carrier,” said Cmdr. Jason Salata, a spokesman for the Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, across the Persian Gulf from Iran. “We’re not sure what Iran hopes to gain by building this. If it is a big propaganda piece, to what end?”
Whatever the purpose, American officials acknowledged on Thursday that they wanted to reveal the existence of the vessel to get out ahead of the Iranians.
Navy and other American intelligence analysts surmise that the vessel, which Fifth Fleet wags have nicknamed the Target Barge, is something that Iran could tow to sea, anchor and blow up — while filming the whole thing to make a propaganda point, if, say, the talks with the Western powers over Iran’s nuclear program go south.
Iran has previously used barges as targets for missile firings during training exercises, filmed the episodes and then televised them on the state-run news media, Navy officials said.
“It is not surprising that Iranian military forces might use a variety of tactics — including military deception tactics — to strategically communicate and possibly demonstrate their resolve in the region,” said an American official who has closely followed the construction of the mock-up.
But while Iran has tried to conceal its underground nuclear-related sites, the Iranian Navy has taken no steps to cloak from prying Western satellites what it is building pierside at the busy shipyard. “The system is often too opaque to understand who hatched this idea, and whether it was endorsed at the highest levels,” said Karim Sadjadpour, an Iran expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Iran has sought to exploit captured or pirated American military technology in the past. Last year, Iran’s political and military elite boasted that their forces had shot down an American intelligence-gathering drone, a remotely piloted Navy vehicle called ScanEagle that they quickly put on display for the Iranian news media.
Navy officials responded that no drones had been shot down by enemy fire, although the Pentagon acknowledged at the time that it had lost a small number of ScanEagles, likely to engine malfunction.
Iranian Navy officials could not be immediately reached for comment as the country prepared to celebrate its New Year festivities on Friday. American intelligence officials cited a photograph taken on Feb. 22 in Bandar Abbas and a brief description in Persian of the vessel on a website for Iran’s Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade.

For now, Navy analysts and American intelligence officials say they are not unduly concerned about the mock ship. But the fact that the Iranians are building it, presumably for some mysteriously bellicose purposes, contrasts with the fact that the Iranians stepped back from their typically heavy anti-American posture during a recent naval exercise in the gulf.
Until recently, Iranian fast-attack boats have harassed American warships, and the government in Tehran has deployed remotely piloted aircraft that carry surveillance pods and that may someday carry rockets.
With Iran’s multiple political bases of power, the government’s purposes can be hard to decipher. After the temporary nuclear agreement was reached in November between the world powers and the moderate government of Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, it was unclear to American officials whether Iran’s hard-line Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps might try to provoke a conflict with the United States Navy to undercut the accord.
The navy of the Revolutionary Guards consists of fast-attack speedboats with high-powered machine guns and torpedoes, and crews that in the past employed guerrilla tactics, including swarming perilously close to American warships.
When the mock-up will take its maiden voyage — if it ever does — is anyone’s guess, analysts said. The vessel is nearing completion, they said, and will presumably be shipped by rail on tracks that run through the shipyard, to its destiny in the Persian Gulf just a few hundred yards away.

Les capacités de cyberguerre de l’Iran
Au sein de la communauté américaine du renseignement, l’Iran est devenu un des 10 premiers pays disposant des meilleures capacités de cyberattaque dans le monde. Alors que les discussions sur le nucléaire iranien se sont intensifiées depuis l’automne dernier, Téhéran a développé de réels outils lui permettant de mener des cyberopérations de qualité.
Les experts du renseignement américain ont effectivement noté que les cyberattaques sur les systèmes bancaires de Wall Street à propose desquelles les iraniens étaient soupçonnés d’être les instigateurs ont diminué depuis un an voire quasiment disparues. Selon les analystes, les autorités iraniennes ont souhaité envoyé un signal fort à Washington pour marquer l’importance des négociations menées sur son programme nucléaire.
Pour autant, les centres de contrôle américains ont remarqué une hausse des cyberattaques iraniennes à l’encontre des systèmes informatiques militaires et énergétiques. Des cyberattaques sur lesquelles les soupçons des agences de renseignement US se portent sur Téhéran. En 2013, des pirates iraniens ont notamment tenté d’infiltrer l’intranet des Marines. Il a également fallu quatre mois aux informaticiens américains pour réparer les dégâts causés par une cyberattaque sur un réseau de l’US Navy.
A contrario des russes qui piratent les réseaux à des fins de marché noir ou les chinois pour des vols de masse de propriété intellectuelle, les iraniens se spécialisent dans des opérations de pointe ciblées essentiellement à des fins militaires ou se portant sur des secteurs économiques clefs. L’Iran consacrerait chaque année un budget d’un milliard de dollars au développement de ses capacités de cyberguerre. En réponse au virus Stuxnet, les cyberespions iraniens ont déjà répondu en piratant 30 000 ordinateurs de la société Saudi Aramco et en visant également la société qatarie RasGas.

Iran's 2 Navies Bring Mixture of Threats
DUBAI — Despite limited capabilities and lacking in modernization, Iran has always been seen as the major naval threat in the Arabian Gulf region. Experts agree this is due to its ability for irregular warfare and to threaten, intimidate and conduct asymmetrical operations and wars of attrition. According to the January “Gulf Military Balance” report by Anthony Cordesman, with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Iran is sometimes described as the “Hegemon of the Gulf.” But it is a comparatively weak conventional military power with limited modernization since the Iran-Iraq War. “It depends heavily on weapons acquired by the shah. Most key equipment in its Army, Navy and Air Force are obsolete or relatively low-quality imports,” he wrote. Cordesman, however, highlighted that Iran is proficient at irregular warfare. “It has built up a powerful mix of capabilities for both regular and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps [IRGC] forces to defend territory, intimidate neighbors, threaten the flow of oil and shipping through the gulf, and attack gulf targets,” he wrote. “It has a dedicated force to train and equip non-state actors like Hezbollah, Hamas and Shiite extremists in Iraq — potential proxies that give Iran leverage over other states.” Matthew Hedges, a military analyst based here with the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, added that the Iranian support of non-state actors such as Hezbollah and the Houthi rebels in Yemen are some of the leading threats in the region. “The Iranian Revolutionary Guards [Corps] threaten every state in the region,” he said. “The IRGC possess mini-subs and are a constant menace to not only the UAE Navy, but to all naval trade passing through the Strait of Hormuz as they are particularly hard to trace. There have been numerous unconfirmed reports that Iranian midget subs have been spotted within a number of the regional ports, something which is particularly worrying for the entire [Gulf Cooperation Council] region.” In November, gulf naval commanders stated that the IRGC mini-subs are a major danger in the gulf’s littorals. “Anti-submarine operations are causing a real challenge to our units in the Arabian Gulf waters due to the small subs that are being used in shallow waters, which creates a challenge for sonar systems to detect them,” UAE Navy Chief Rear Adm. Ibrahim Musharrakh told the Gulf Naval Commanders Conference on Nov. 6. “Furthermore, the merchant traffic creates clutter and noise that diminishes the capability of submersible devices to spot and helps the mini-subs to operate without being spotted,” he said. The Iranian Navy and Revolutionary Guard Corps have launched three classes of submarines, two of which are small subs, since 2007. The programs, however, have been secretive, and limited information has been released by the Iranian naval command. According to the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), a nonprofit nuclear watchdog, three Kilo-class diesel-electric submarines were commissioned from 1992 to 1996. They are called Tareq-class subs in Iran. Iran reportedly paid US $600 million for each boat, and they are based at Bandar Abbas in the Strait of Hormuz. Two of the Kilo-class submarines are operational at any one time and are occasionally deployed in the eastern mouth of the strait, the Gulf of Oman or the Arabian Sea. However, the real threat is from the smaller submarines deployed in 2007. According to the NTI, that’s when a wave of deployments began of small Ghadir-class and Nahang-class midget submarines for use in shallow coastal waters. NTI reports that the number of operating Ghadir-class submarines ranges from 10 to 19. The Ghadir class also is referred to as a subclass of the Yono class, suggesting that the submarines may be based on North Korean technology, although the level of North Korean involvement is unknown, the organization said. The midget subs are operated by both the Iranian Navy and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN). Their operational capabilities include firing torpedoes (both the Ghadir and the Nahang class have two, 533mm tubes), laying mines for anti-shipping operations, as well as insertion of special forces into enemy territory. Iran also is experimenting with wet submersibles. The Sabehat-15 GPS-equipped two-seat submersible swimmer delivery vehicle (SDV), designed by the Esfahan Underwater Research Center, has undergone testing with both the Iranian Navy and the IRGCN. NTI’s report on “Iranian Submarine Capabilities,” released in July, states the SDVs, due to their limited endurance and payload, are primarily used for mining, reconnaissance and special operations, and are restricted to operating in coastal waters. Col. Yousif al-Mannaei, deputy commander of the Bahrain Naval Operations Center, explained the need for more intelligence collection. “As we all know that the sea is very vital for our well-being and the world economy, the air supremacy and surface supremacy has been achieved,” he said. “However, we have no subsurface superiority in the Arabian Gulf waters. “It is a real threat, and the [Gulf Cooperation Council] really understands that and are pursuing ways to counter that,” he said. “At this point, the exchange of information and intelligence sharing, as well as the formation of a database, is vital.” According to Michael Connell, director of Iranian Studies at the Center for Naval Analyses, Iran has two independent naval forces with parallel chains of command. “The two navies have overlapping functions and areas of responsibility, but they are distinct in terms of how they are trained and equipped — and more importantly, also in how they fight,” he wrote in an article for the United States Institute of Peace. “The backbone of the regular Navy’s inventory consists of larger surface ships, including frigates and corvettes and submarines.” The Islamic Republic of Iran Navy is generally considered to be a conventional “green water” Navy, he wrote, operating at a regional level, mainly in the Gulf of Oman but also as far out as the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. “The Revolutionary Guard’s naval force has a large inventory of small fast-attack craft, and specializes in asymmetrical, hit-and-run tactics; it is more akin to a guerrilla force at sea,” Connell wrote. “Both navies maintain large arsenals of coastal defense and anti-ship cruise missiles and mines.”

Iran Unveils 1st Home-Made Simulator for Mirage Fighters
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran on Tuesday unveiled and launched its first home-made Mirage fighter jet simulator in a ceremony attended by Commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) Brigadier General Hassan Shahsafi.
The Mirage simulator system has been designed and built by Iranian engineers and all its parts have been produced domestically.
Military officials said the machine enjoys the capability to simulate flights in different weather conditions.
The officials also said that the simulator has been built to enhance pilots' preciseness and skills as well as flight safety and reduce the costs.
Iranian experts have made huge progress in designing and developing various types of military simulators in recent years. Simulators help cadets receive better training and test their piloting and shooting skills in various weather conditions.
The product helps the country save millions of dollars.
In January, Iran’s Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base unveiled simulators for anti-aircraft Hawk and Skyguard missile systems.
Commander of Iran’s Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmayeeli pointed to the unique specifications of these two missile systems simulators, and said, “We can simulate targets in real-scales and in different classes of missiles, airplanes, helicopters and drones by using these simulators which are completely independent and needless of operating systems.”
He explained that the simulators have been designed fully similar to the main (missile) systems in terms of appearance, keys and panels, and said, “All training phases of these systems can be seen through closed-circuit cameras and computers by trainer and the trainer can evaluate operators’ reactions.”
Iran has recently renewed and upgraded the weapons and defense systems of its air defense units.
Earlier this year, General Esmayeeli announced that experts and engineers of Iran’s Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base have successfully designed and manufactured a simulator for anti-aircraft Hawk missile system.
“Production of this simulator enabled us to teach all the officers need about Hawk anti-aircraft missile system,” he said at the time.
Brigadier General Esmayeeli hailed Iranian experts' unsparing efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in producing the needed equipment for the country's air defense systems.
Senior Iranian military officials announced in September 2010 that Iran gained self-sufficiency in manufacturing simulators, adding that the country possessed more than 800 home-made simulators then.
In August 2010, the Iranian Army started using two home-made Cobra Chopper simulators in an airborne base in n Iran's western city of Kermanshah.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in manufacturing essential military hardware and defense systems.

IRGC up-arms Tondar FACs
Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy (IRGCN) has refitted its Tondar fast attack craft (FACs) with Ghader anti-ship missiles, local media quoted Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, the IRGCN's deputy commander, as saying on 7 April. Iran imported 10 Tondar FACs from China in the mid-1990s. These were originally armed with Chinese C-802 anti-ship missiles and remain the largest combat vessels in the IRGCN's fleet. IRGCN Chief General Ali Fadavi announced in April 2012 that the Tondars had been rearmed with Iranian missiles and fire-control systems. While he did not identify the missile, it could have been either the Noor - which is the Iranian version of the C-802 - or the stretched version known as the Ghader. Iranian officials announced that the Ghader went into production in 2011 and has a range of 200 km. The rearming of the Tondar FACs is part of a wider trend that has seen Iran integrate the Ghader, which was first produced for shore-based launchers, with a growing number of platforms, including Kaman (Combattante II)-class FACs, Jamaran-class frigates, and F-4 fighters.

Iranian Navy Starts Manufacturing Training Destroyer
April 18, 2014 - 17:05 TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian Navy started to manufacture an indigenous destroyer for training purposes, dubbed ‘the Persian Gulf’, a top Navy commander announced. printPrint
Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari announced on Friday that his forces have embarked on implementing “one of the biggest projects” of the Navy to manufacture the Persian Gulf destroyer for training purposes.
He made the comments on the sidelines of massive military parades to mark Iran’s National Army Day.
The new project on the production of the home-made training destroyer follows other plans in the Navy for the development of its military equipment.
Earlier in February, Rear Admiral Sayyari has announced that his forces are working on three new destroyers, noting that they are the upgraded versions of Jamaran-class warships.
The new destroyers known as Jamaran-3, 4 and 5 are being manufactured by the Iranian experts, and will be unveiled respectively in the future, Sayyari told reporters at the time.
The Iranian Navy launched its first domestically-built destroyer, Jamaran, in the waters of the Persian Gulf in February 2010.
The 1,420-ton destroyer is equipped with modern radar systems and other electronic warfare capabilities and has a top speed of up to 30 knots and a helipad.

Iranian Army Ground Force Unveils 5 New Products April 20, 2014 - 20:06
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Commander of Iran’s Army Ground Force on Sunday unveiled five new defensive products which have been totally designed, manufactured or modified by the local experts.
The six-barrel weapon, dubbed “Moharram”, is a 50 caliber firearm with the high rate of fire of 2,000-2,500 rounds per minute.
The powerful machine gun can also be mounted on a broad range of military vehicles, choppers, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), warships and destroyers.
The advanced composite armor, which has been manufactured on the basis of shear-thickening fluid (STF) technology, enables the product to behave like a solid when it encounters mechanical stress.
The home-made armor is even resistant to armor-piercing projectiles with steel core, and also meets the global standards of the military equipment. Utilizing the new product in Iran’s military equipment will decrease by 76% the weight of the structures that are installed on the tanks, armored personnel carriers and other vehicles.
The Sabalan tank, a modified version of older Iranian tanks, is equipped with a 105mm cannon, an advanced fire-control system and the necessary communication and wireless systems. And another new achievement, namely the Zuljanah super-heavy tactical vehicle, has 5 axles (10 wheels), three of which are steerable.
The tactical vehicle has the suitable features to carry out missions on different terrains and in various weather conditions in the country.
The versatile vehicle weighs 21 tons and is capable of crossing rivers as deep as 1.5 meters. It can also carry loads up to 30 tons and goods as long as 10.5 meters and moves on surfaces with a slope of up to 25 degrees.
In recent years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and has attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.
Tehran has repeatedly assured other nations that its military might poses no threat to other countries, saying that the Islamic Republic’s defense doctrine is entirely based on deterrence.

Parce que tu l'as vu tirer avec le Manpad sur un batiment maritime ? Des fois ... Les petits embarcations comme tel, armée avec des lances roquettes multiples ainsi que des SPG, sont le cauchemar de toute les marines qui se respectent. Les iraniens en sont des experts et l'ont prouvé durant la guerre Irak-Iran, et les américains savent que de telles embarcations même sans grandes puissances de feu, peuvent les engager et les garder loin de la ou leurs commandent à besoin d'eux.

Iran unveils new 12.7 mm Gatling gun
Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
22 April 2014

The Iranian military unveiled various new weapons and platforms during and immediately after the annual Army Day Parade on 18 April, including a six-barrelled 12.7 mm gun called the Moharram.
Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan, the commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army Ground Forces, said it was an air defence weapon capable of firing 2,500 rounds per minute. A manually operated Moharram was displayed mounted on the back of the truck during the parade.
While it could be used against helicopters, it is unlikely to be developed into an effective close-in weapon system (CIWS) capable of destroying incoming missiles. All the CIWS currently in service with other militaries use guns with a calibre of at least 20 mm.
As promised by Gen Pourdastan a year ago, an upgraded version of the M47 tank was unveiled in the wake of the parade. This has a new turret with a 105 mm gun, rather than the 90 mm gun used with the M47s that Iran received in the 1950s.

The Iranian media cited Brigadier General Masud Reza Zavarei, the army's head of research and self-sufficiency, as saying it was a smoothbore 105 mm gun, which would mean it uses a unique type of ammunition. However, it appears to be based on the L7 rifled gun, versions of which are fitted to Iran's M60 tanks.
Two 155 mm Hoveyzeh howitzers were also displayed as new innovations, although the self-propelled guns appeared to be identical to the M109A1s delivered to Iran in the 1970s.
A new version of the Zoljanah 10x10 heavy tactical truck with a different cab featured in the parade. Gen Zavarei said the vehicle weighed 21 tonnes and could carry a maximum load of 30 tonnes: a capability that could significantly increase the mobility of Iran's heavier weapon systems. The vehicle is steered using the first two and last pairs of wheels, and can ford through water with a depth of 1.5 m, according to Gen Zavarei.
The new version of the Zoljanah heavy tactical truck carried a billboard showing the earlier version with its angular cab carrying the Bavar 373 long-range surface-to-air missiles that Iran says it is developing.

A new type of 'liquid armour' was displayed for the media on 20 April. "Using liquid armour, a bulletproof jacket has been built by experts, which has reduced the weight of the jacket to one-tenth of its predecessors," General Purdastan was quoted as saying.
A previously unseen missile was seen in the parade but did not feature in the official media coverage. The billboard next to the missile identified it as the Mushk 'cruise missile' and said it had a range of 100 km. It had an inlet for an air-breathing engine and a transparent nose for an electro-optical seeker, but did not have wings for aerodynamic lift.
