Iranian Air Defence Systems | News and Discussions

Fixed, once the list is complete then we can start the scrutinization process to make it more accurate based upon (1) Which systems are just upgrades of one family (2) which are deployed or ended as prototypes only (3) Integrate it with IRIAF interception capabilities.

Greetings

Pertaining to the AD C&C systems, do you want these to go all the way to mobile systems? Such as Fakour for instance.

I scratched the installation below from somewhere on my rather crowded hard drives.

I thinks it is an (or the) ADOC about ~18km or so outside Tehran. Just have to figure out if its still under the same management, and try to hunt down the others also.

I know you are a technical and balanced poster but I have a hard time understanding what you write, are you using a translator?

Apologies

No, I am not using a translator. My first language is Afrikaans, my second being English.

Thank you really for bringing this to my attention. I will be minding this moving forward. Are there some on my posts that I can perhaps help with.

No issue, just write in plain English, so we can actually communicate.
 
Sighting of a possible noble Samavat platform:

 
What's with them and those barrel covers
The picture itself is just click bait unfortunately. Partisan does this occasionally which isn't good. The video itself has imagery that seems different from the thumbnail.

As for the barrel cover, I see these becoming a norm by different manufacturers (eg Rheinmetall).

I believe these are heat sinks to cool down the barrel. Similar attachments are used on rifle platforms. You also see this cover on the Soleimani tank platform.

Metal is a far better heat conductor than air. My question is since this is a simple concept why haven’t we seen this before until relatively recently.

that is a box filled with air , not a good heat conductor at all , in fact i say its a somehow usable insulation chamber , remind me of cheap water flask that do shitty work of keeping water cold or hot

No no. The cover has conductive attachment points to the barrel making it an effective heatsink. There's no way it's for show.
