I am happy that they are satisfied with the quality of Masaf 2. I hope that the weapon will enter the regular forces of the army as soon as possible

For that, Iran is producing ak 103

honesty, Iran different armed force branches must sit and decide to a little consider the situation of guys at logistic .

while we see some improvements in equipment of the armed forces, there are still major issues of urgent improvement

- body armour
- night vision
- optical sights for rifles
- armoured tactical vehicles (we still see Toyota pick up trucks being used)

When you basically have two armed forces, both of them having personel numbering in the hundreds of thousands, it becomes very difficult and expernsive to arm them with the latest goodies. Not to mention a significant majority is made of conscripts, which does seem unneccesary.

Turkey went through a phase of reducing the personal, mainly conscript and focusing on contract soldiers for example. It started with around the same soldiers as Iran, but is now like half. Only then it was able to arm them properly. I simply don't see Iran doing that, especially the IRGC.

the equipment of the border guard

These are relatively normal equipment for border patrol guards in almost all countries. Even the US border patrol role with four by four trucks, maybe not pickups but still. With that said Iran should bring in larger and better armed vehicles because Iran's situation is different than most countries. Professionally armed insurgents and terrorist groups have to be fought with proper military equipment to protect the lives innocent people.

NLOS Almas-4 ATGM revealed (range likely 20km+)



Almas-1: 4km range
Almas-2: 8km range
Almas-3: 10km range (16km for air launched version)
Almas-4: 20km+ range (TBC)

if effective in testing, this should be mass produced in tens of thousands and deployed in all parts of Iran's ground forces and then shared with Ansarallah in Yemen then sold to PMU in Iraq.

Russia could be an export market too if cheap enough.

NB. For comparison with most advanced ATGMs in the world, the latest generation of Israel's Spike NLOS has 50km range with a 4 canister salvo launch variant and can be fired by UAVs. The UK's Brimstone-2 ATGM has 60km range for air-launched variant and is capable of supersonic speed (mach 1.3) with a sub 1m CEP. Cost is c. £150,000 ($200,000) per missile.
