If you meant Fallujah, that fell ...Iraq Falluza?!!! If you meant Fallujah, that fell because of Iraqi Army incompetence and so far there had been no campaign by Shia militias to reclaim it, but Shia militias did participate and lead the retaking of tikrit which was successful, also the city of Ramadi which was a very important city too have fell because the American trained and equipped Iraqi army fled in wake of ISIS attack and again no Shia militia there, so what battle you are refereeing to?<br /><br />even if any operation fails its not because ''poo ammunition fire power iranian weapons!!!'', it is because of many shortcomings of Iraqi armed forces(moral, air support, communication and etc), Shia militias are not armed with heavy artillery pieces and heavy armor, they mostly use 107mm MLR and mortars, iraqi army has access to heavy artillery and even Iranian made 122mm HM-20 MLRS were supplied to Army not the militias. <br /><br />And what do you see in these equipment shown at this event that makes you so critical? are there any thing out of place there? are they fake? or maybe you just don't like Iran and can't accept the new reality so you decide to base your criticism on unrelated stuff.<br /><br />If you have anything against the authenticity of these radars and air defense system shown here, please share them with us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603639167038872953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-63722636327095065752015-08-31T10:13:03.657-04:002015-08-31T10:13:03.657-04:00Well in that case one could say the same thing abo...Well in that case one could say the same thing about the USAF. They've been bombing ISIS positions for almost a year now with U.S advisers on the ground but with no tangible results in any battle that did not see direct, overwhelming participation of Iran-backed militias lead by IRGC general Qassem Soleimani, like in Tikrit.<br /><br />As a matter of fact, the Safeer Jeep, which is the most Iranian-made weapon to be deployed in Iraq, has proven to be a success in unconventional warfare. This is why production of the vehicle has increased back at home, where Iran is now producing thousands of these vehicles annually.<br /><br />Besides, the Iraqi theater isn't a place where Iran can field *every* and *any* weapon it produces, for multiple and obvious reasons. One is that Iraq also receives support from the U.S, and would not risk its relationship with Washington by allowing Iran to flood the ministry of defense with Iranian-made weapons. Two is that many of the weapons that are celebrated in and produced by Iran, like ballistic missiles, tanks, drones and anti-aircraft systems, are mostly useless in the war against ISIS, which is a non-conventional war.<br /><br />Yes, the Qaher-313 was a rushed unveiling of an uncompleted project. But that doesn't mean all Iranian weapons are incomplete! You mentioned the Shahed-129, but you forget that, unlike the Qaher-313, it was in fact tested and mass produced. It may be undergoing some upgrades to the firing systems, but it's obviously real.<br /><br />Plus, Iran doesn't use tax money to finance it's military but instead relies on oil revenues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487209897174949600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-21928054762663456572015-08-31T08:27:39.504-04:002015-08-31T08:27:39.504-04:00Iran has a hobby to display defense equipments reg...Iran has a hobby to display defense equipments regularly to show its military caliber, all shows never coincided with claims whenever contested in real battle ground. Proof is Iraq Falluza, months long offensive by Iranian backed militants with Iranian weapons do not make any breakthrough despite heavy causalities of Iran backed militants, 'WHY', its all about inferior quality and poor ammunition fire power Iranian weapons, with lack of proper real time targeting mechanism. In the same way Iranian much publicized Drone Shaheed 129 with missiles never seen offensive mode in real ground battle either in Syria or Iraq anywhere. Iran Qaher 313 fighter aircraft shameful ceremony by the then president Ahmadinejad, whole world laughed on Iran non operational model as fighter jet, which never seen after that, WHY all such foolish acts done at the expanse of Iran tax payers. It is quite necessary that Iran must self evaluate and not fool them selves nor others.

It is basically modernized mobile SA-2 and you are right, Iranian Air defense chief Gen. Farzad Esmaili said the Talash-3, or Endeavor-3, missile will enable Iranian forces to “shoot down any hostile target,” even at high altitudes. Speaking on state TV, he said the missile was successfully test-fired recently. He did not describe its range. <br /><br />However, since the Talash utilizes the Sayyad-2 missile, a modernized reverse-engineered hybrid of the American RIM-66 Standard missile and SA 2. The range of the Sayyad-2 missile is not known but is almost certainly at least 60km, which would make it a long range missile. It is unclear what radar(s) the Talash II utilizes, but an unknown multi-spectral sensor was displayed at a recent parade alongside the system. Iranian officials have previously described the Talash-2 SAM as being developed to serve as a medium-range component of the (very) long range SA-5 SAM system, but Iran will likely deploy the system as an independent long range SAM system along with the Bavar 373 or Russian S-300 as well.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-83367508303212487412015-08-30T13:37:50.896-04:002015-08-30T13:37:50.896-04:00That Talaash air defense system looks pretty compe...That Talaash air defense system looks pretty competent.
