Zitat:Iran’s Response to Saudi War Game—Show Off All the Weapons

Just two weeks after Saudi Arabia’s biggest-ever military drill, Iran unveiled an impressive range of new weapons as part of a special, private arms expo.

The expo had just one main guest—Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The highest-ranking officers in Iranian armed forces were present to explain to their leader the capabilities of new sensors, missiles and unmanned vehicles.

Zitat:TEHRAN — Iran said Sunday it has succeeded in copying a US drone it captured in December 2011, with state television broadcasting images apparently showing the replicated aircraft.

Tehran captured the US RQ-170 Sentinel in 2011 while it was in its airspace, apparently on a mission to spy on the country’s nuclear sites, media in the United States reported.

“Our engineers succeeded in breaking the drone’s secrets and copying them. It will soon take a test flight,” an officer said in the footage.

The broadcast showed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s visit to an exhibition organized by the powerful Revolutionary Guard’s air wing about Iran’s military advances, particularly regarding ballistic missiles and drones.

Footage showed two nearly identical drones.

Zitat:IRGC unveils new tactical ballistic missiles developments

The unveiling of an Iranian copy of the Lockheed Martin RQ-170 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) overshadowed other, potentially more significant, revelations that emerged when Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei visited the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force on 11 May.

Arguably the most important weapons displayed for Khamenei were new variants of the Fateh-110 tactical ballistic missile called the Hormuz-1 and Hormuz-2.

IRGC Aerospace Force commander Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said the Hormuz-1 was an anti-radiation variant and Iranian television showed the supreme leader watching a video of a test in which a missile destroyed a target with a radar antenna.

"The missile destroyed a 20 ft [6 m] container at a distance of 300 km during test fire," Brig Gen Hajizadeh was quoted as saying.

An operational anti-radiation version of the Fateh-110 would in theory allow Iran to suppress the radars essential to the ballistic missile defence systems deployed in the Persian Gulf states.

It could also be used to target naval vessels by locking on to the energy emitted by their radars. Iran already has an anti-ship version of the Fateh-110 called the Khalij Fars, but this uses electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) terminal guidance.

Brig Gen Hajizadeh said the Hormuz-2 was an anti-ship missile, but the photographs of the event showed that, like the Hormuz-1, it had what appeared to be a radio frequency-transparent radome and not a window on its nose for EO/IR guidance. This raises the possibility that it uses active or passive radar terminal guidance. The latter is more likely as the missile would be less vulnerable to electronic countermeasures, but that would make it essentially the same as the Hormuz-1.
