Today in 2017: First orbital attempt of Iran's Simorgh satellite launch vehicle. It failed (and later failed at least 4 more times).
Iran's Nahid-2 satellite onboad Soyuz 2.1 launcher. The launch is planned for July 25th from Vostochny.
First launch of a missile by Iran's IRGC since the 12 days war with Israel: a suborbital test of its Qased satellite launcher - aiming to evaluate "new technologies" under development in the country's space program. Well....
"Motivation poster" at the massive Alabuga drone mega factory: "Kurchatov (the mastermind of Soviet atomic bomb) Korolev (Chief designer of spaceflight) and Stalin - live in your DNA!" Russia 2025.
Today marks the fifth anniversary of the "Hope" space mission, a pivotal moment in space exploration history of the Arab countries. Launched towards Mars, this mission stands as a significant achievement as the inaugural space research endeavor from the The UAE. @MBRSpaceCentre
The US has unveiled the LUCAS UAV. The vehicle is almost identical clone of the Iranian Shahed 136 - or in other words - if Iran were to produce vehicles of American quality - this is what its vehicle would look like.
Abdulrahim Mousavi, chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces visits an IRGC production facility of cruise missiles. Interestingly, Iranian medial described the site as "IRGC Aerospace Force headquarters".
Excited to be part of @MENA_2050! Thrilled to join a unique initiative uniting thinkers, leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and influencers from the Middle East and North Africa. Thanks to @eli_bar_on, CEO of MENA2050, for his vision and work!
One week after the ceasefire - No high quality of Iranian missile launches was shown, nor more relics of destroyed TELS of missiles - except one that was published during the war.
Another external fuel tank was found in Mazandaran province (Iran) at the shores of the Caspian Sea.
This is new: pictures of KJU with coffins of fallen NK troops killed in Ukraine.
Last night, at a grand event (do NK has any other type?...) commemorating the first anniversary of the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty with Russia, North Korean soldiers sent to Russia with where shown.
Iran is accelerating engineering work to reopen access to the Fordow facility, a week after the US dropped the bombs on the site. (Image via MAXAR)
With the extensive database of names created - what will we see in the future? A ballistic missile named "Amir"? "Salami"? Additional suggestions?....
A short video purporting to document the destruction of one of the centrifuge halls at the Fordow uranium enrichment site. If it's real - and even if not - I wonder why it hasn't gone viral. Who made it? Why? The centrifuges structures looks legit, though. AI generated?
A short video is spreading in the last hour - allegedly showing the final moments of Iranian "Qassem Basir" BM, equipped with an optical seeker. Well, other than several issues with the video itself, it is HIGHLY unlikely that the seeker transmitted it to Iran. Caveat emptor.
Official IDF rendering of Iran's Fordow underground uranium enrichment facility.
This is beyond amazing that we get this type of information officialy and so soon.
Despite the extensive damage to Iran's missile production infrastructure, it will be able to resume activities. The "space launchers" track will be very significant in the future - especially those of the Revolutionary Guards.
