According to reports #Iran's #IRGC have conducted an unannounced exercise including drones and ballistic missiles, surface to surface. The BM tests included Zolfaghar and Dezful, potentially more.
The "First Phase" of the 15th Prophet exercise was completed successfully.
I assume this means there is more to come...
New generations of missiles were used, a new Zolfaghar, Dezful, and Zelzal. They are reportedly now equipable with detachable warheads according to state media.
Initial footage of the 15th Great Prophet exercise, including missile launches from underground missile cities, mobile TEL's and RQ-170 drones.
Zolfaghar or Dezful missile?
Shape looks like a Zelzal in this one
The footage I am waiting for is of the reports that the Zolfagher/Dezful is now capable of being "guided outside the Earth's atmosphere"
correction on underground missile cities, it was a misreport it seems, so just mobile TEL's
sdhsadsaj just realized I typed RQ and not Shahed-191., nevermind, same thing, right?
Additional footage continues to be released.
Drone specific footage.
Closer view of the Dezful Missile and mobile TEL.
The message of accuracy, demonstrated.
Some HQ footage of the first phase of the exercise.
two shots from the above video just for reference when I continue to look for the locations later, or for others that already are :).
Close up stills from @imamedia_org footage showing the Mobile TEL's of the Zolfagher and Dezful rockets. Two launch rows observed, one per missile type.
Red fin's, the odd one out it seems?
Shahed's now reportedly controlled by AI, hence the close formations observed in the videos today, along with the suicide drones.
In response to a sniper attack (4 shots) against an #IDF bulldozer the #IDF have struck a #Hamas observation post with tank fire near Khan Younis, #Gaza. The activates of the D9 are in the tweet included.
Imagery courtesy of @DeirEzzor24 of the warehouses struck in last nights reported airstrike near Ayyash. The warehouses reportedly belonged to #IRGC affiliated Fatemiyoun Brigades.
I’ll do a full report on the air strikes in the coming day(s) when satellite imagery is available. But from what I can tell, it was an extensive operation against #IRGC assets in #Syria
As it stands from my initial thoughts and theories (this will evolve over time) this is my AOI's with some more pinpointed than others.
As for satellite imagery, today is looking unlikely do to thick cloud coverage, but maybe @ImageSatIntl could capture something through a cloud break :D.
To address these tweet, this isn’t intended to mock @Intel_Sky in the slightest, actually I respect the work they do when monitoring aircraft movement around the region. But we all had an inclination something was “up” with the intense movement over the last several days.
Often these prediction have been made, and have been wrong and tweets have been deleted by not just them but other accounts too. The issue with public predictions as accounts grow is their speculation is quickly turned to fact, by no fault of their own when they are wrong
Looks like an F-16i Sufa captured over #Lebanon today. Looks like two drop tanks and Derby Air to Air Missiles on the wings. Assuming she was also running a Rafael Litening II as well.
The reason for assuming the Rafael Litening II is due to there also being risk from Lebanon, of course, as we know several threats have been made from #Hezbollah. But, maybe it's not on there and it's purely what looks like the Derby Air-to-air missiles.
