Can anyone tell me if there is any operational history on an Oerlikon twin 35mm autocannon in the CIWS role ? since it seems to be the only credible defensive element fitted to iranian frigates, it'd better be good... is it even radar guided or is it manned like the other lighter cannons ?

Indeed, IRAN has all those 'KNOW-HOW' technologies concerning military hardwares and warfares. It is only time, the most mattered.

Hello my Iranian friends (you too comrade mat!), It is I MR Putin!!! I think it is long overdue for your country to upgrade its meager weapons systems......currently I have decided to have a New Years sale on many of my countries best armaments and weapons systems!!! You will need to provide 75% COD and also sign long term maintenance contracts with my countrymen!!!
Talk to your friends in India, China & Iraq.....you will see how much they like our weapons systems....the best in the world.....you can have major military drills and invite the world press to watch you fire our weapons.....you will be the envy of your neighborhood!!! BTW.....thanks for all you've done for my comrades & myself $$$$$....see you soon!!!

ummm...so referencing history, in the Qajar dynasty, how much land did the russians take? and in the iraq war, what was casualty count on our side? You are trying to say that fighting losing wars with high number of casualties some how translate into winning?

SHAME ON YOU!!-the Russians have nothing to show in the UAV world, despite being a reputed arms producer!!.AND IRAN IS QUICKLY CATCHING UP WITH THE LEADING ARMS MANUFACTURES especially in radars AND THIS IS ONE AMONG THE REASONS RUSSIA IS RELUCTANT TO OFFER THE S/300 KNOWING WELL THAT IRAN WILL COME UP with A SIMILAR OR BETTER VARIETY ! so then your tantrums have no grounds 'CAUSE YOU ARE TREATING IRANIANS AS THOUGH THEY ARE SUCH ILLITERATE.

Any idea what make the trucks are carrying the missiles on the first photo? Any chance they're European?
