Moreover I think Majid missile is not the same of Misagh2. The body rocket is thicker and IR seeker seems to be bigger also.

Babak likes to play "expert" but does not know what he is talking about!

He is very good at numerical details like serial numbers of aircrafts and detailed variants and airbases etc but not with actual technical details.

Left: Killer of Iranian deterrence. Refused to weaponize NPT, stuck on chimp level Fatwa that made IRI toothless in front of nuclear armed enemies, put limitations on enrichment, put limitations on ICBMs, did not punish corrupt commander who presented fake projects decades ago, let MODAFL kill IRIAF through budget cuts.

Right: F-5 obsessed air-defence commander who did not understand the importance of air-superiority MRCAs that won IRIAF the air war against Baathist AF (11 countries allied+ EU+USSR) and saved Iran. Tried putting local F-5 derivatives into a MRCA role, something still has not been done, wasted decades and millions of USD.

It could be a Su-22 judging by the hardpoint and gear position, but not sure.

Not a good month for Russian garbage, first getting shot down by a boat drone and now this. But somehow I think people on this forum will still advocate for trash that Russia doesn't even deliver over getting JF-17 and J-10CE.
