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

Thread: Everything we saw at the new Iranian underground drone base
Kaman-12 with Ghaem-5 and unknown pod
Big news. Fotros finally in service. On the visible wing, it is carrying a Ghaem-114 (Hellfire copy) and Ghaem-5.

More notably, new cruise missile! Heidar-1 with 200km range

Pictures from the gathering of various IRGC and Basij units in Tehran.

Pic 3 gives a rare look at Nasr anti material rifles in service. As well as a side by side comparison of all of Iran's desert digital camo patterns

Thread: Iranian army day parade. We saw some new drone types, older types, and some new SAM TELs
The latest member of the Ababil UAV family, Ababil-5 UCAV. Can carry 6 20km+ Ghaem series PGMs or 8km Almas ATGMs. Most likely new engine. Sadly no pics or the FLIR. Has a slightly angled downward facing camera like Ababil-3/4
New Iranian Harop copy. Iran previously shot down Azeri ones that crossed the border. Note the one with a grey and white pattern. Also note the engine intake is quite different than that of Harop

Iranian Panha-2091 and standard non-tow AH-1J armed with the new generation of Shafaq missiles. ImageImageImageImage
For those wondering how the Cobra that lack FLIR balls or TOW TSUs guide their Shafaqs, I'd assume they use TV guidance and view from the HUD. Image
We also saw a Chinook helicopter with new digital camo, serial number 5-4096. Also more Bell-214s and AH-1Js with digital camo. You can differentiate the TOW cobras due to the TSU for guiding TOW/Toophans on the front ImageImageImage
