Good pics of Iran's new Harop style suicide drone, first displayed earlier this year at the army day parade
New pod shown off. Perhaps for electronic warfare and countermeasures? Seen mounted on both Kaman-12 and Mohajer-6
Mohajer-6. Notable pics:

1: Seen for the first time with quad Hydra 70mm/Fadak 80mm rocket launcher
2: 2 Ghaem-9 under each wing, but without the wings for them attached weirdly
3: 2 Almas ATGM launchers under each wing
Accidentally deleted this: Better pic of Fotros. Appears those are not Ghaem-114, but Almas ATGM launchers
Balaban glide bombs were seen twice.

Pic 1: Karrar drone with Balaban glide bomb, and Azarakhsh dual purpose missile (can be used for A-G & A-A). Others in the back can be seen with Shafaq-3/4 missiles.

Pic-2: Balaban present underneath a Kaman-22
Karrar jet powered drones with Shafaq-3/4 missiles
Kian-2 (aka Arash) long range suicide drone, with 1000km. Can carry out anti radiation missions
Higher quality Kaman-22 picture. Balaban PGM and Shafaq missile can also bee seen here (another close up angle was posted earlier)
Here's the other side of that drone, showing it's carrying Shafaq-3/4 missiles
Seems that alongside the launcher for Hydra 70mm or Fadak 80mm rockets another munition can be carried beside. A Ghaem-5 can be carried alongside

Hopefully the launcher carries Fadak rockets, as Iran produces a guided version of them (second picture)
Sorry triple not quad

Iran & Oman held joint military drills, including ground maneuvers for the first time, under the name "Saqoor Al Jabal 1" (Mountain Falcon)

Omani & Iranian (65th NOHED brigade) soldiers used MILES laser training gear, or at a copy of it, as well as KLS & Steyr AUG rifles Image

Video footage showing use of laser training gear, assumably MILES. Note the KLT rifles with what seem to be EOTECH HOLO optics

The exercise was held at a training ground in Saiq

More images from the exercise. Note the Omani NH-90TTH helicopter

Fun fact, the 65th NOHED brigade previously fought in Oman during the Dhofar war in the 1960-70s, under the previous name of the 23rd brigade Image

It's time for my favourite thread of the year, here's everything we've seen at the Holy Defense parades throughout the country

Thread:
The star of the highlight of the day was a new kamikaze drone by the name of Shahed-136B, successor of the famous Shahed-136. 4000km range supposedly

A new medium range ballistic missile by the name of "Jihad" was unveiled with 1000km range

NEZAJA's cursed M60 upgrade "Soleiman-402" has been officially unveiled

It seems that the tank is aimed more for fire support & urban conflict against non state/weaker actors rather than facing other AFVs



Image
With the white covers removed on the 2 boxes, we finally see what's under them. Look to be some kind of sensors, still unclear as to what for



Image
Image
Something I certainly didn't expect was for an M2 Browning to be mounted in the RWS, as opposed to usual NSV, W85/DShKM, or even the M85 HMG already mounted on M60s. M2 Brownings are quite rare in service use

The Holy Defense parades to commemorate the start of the Iran Iraq war have been held. Here's what we've seen so far

Thread:
Paveh-04 cruise missile unveiled

These were seen at Shoigu's visit to Iran the other day, & have been used by the Houthis for years under the name Quds


Image
Image
Image
Shahed-136 box launchers, first time at a parade. These drones have been seen in Yemen under the named Waeed-2 & Russia under the name Geranium-2

These launchers can be disguised as a container truck, making it harder to target them in wartime
