Wonder if it arrive empty or with some “goodies” for Iranian armed forces.

Strange that Iran is loading military cargo at a civilian airport tho. I used to land at Mehrabad back before IKA was built.

Does Iran not have any military airfields around Tehran region that can accommodate this size aircraft?

Mehrabad is dual use and there is even a Mig-29 squadron based there ( North/east corner).

Yes, there are a small airfield at the east of Tehran;

Google Maps

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

Velayat Park, at the south it is another airfield now reconverted into park, but it can be transformed in few days back to airfield.

And lastly you have Payam airport in Karaj at the west, where there are a pair of Fokker 50/60 operating and some aeronautical industries. For sure there must be any military utility for the IRIAF fleet.

Seems strange this day and age to not have an military airfield dedicated to the capital province.

there is one , the 1.7km runway is enough for fighters , its enough for our c-130s (they need 1,093 m at max weight) , its twice the length our il-76 need (900m)
it just small for an aircraft we don't operate

 

[Flotilla]

no there is no such field .

Partisan YT channel suggest that another 2 Yaks 130 are being transferred in such AN-124 flight...



But I cannot credit it until it is announced. IRIAF announced first two in semi-official news channels.

New loitering munition/attack drone

Cant really tell if its prop or jet powered,there are no visible air intakes at the rear and the section mounting the rocket booster looks quite thin so possibly prop?
