what in the world!!!!   my eye balls fell out of my head when i saw this. i dono if this is for real fake or what but truly this proves one thing "az irani haft khat tar nadarim" iran has one crazy poker face man.

Iran builds S-300-style anti-aircraft
Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:23:06 GMT

The production of Iran's S-300 style aircraft comes amid wild talks of an Israeli go-it-alone air strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Iran's Defense Ministry says it has built a long-range anti-aircraft system capable of simultaneously striking multiple enemy targets.

Iran's Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar said Wednesday that the new anti-aircraft missile defense system has been domestically produced.

The system is capable of intercepting multiple missiles and aircraft at once, at high altitude and long range.

"This long-range anti-aircraft system can identify and track multiple targets and is capable of simultaneously destroying them from a long distance," Brigadier General Mohammad-Najjar said at the Islamic Revolution's military achievements exhibition.

The Iranian minister added that the country's defense experts have also been successful in the domestic production of basic material for building surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles.

The cited capacities of the newly-built Iranian missile calls to mind the Russian S-300 surface-to-air missile defense system.

The advance version of the controversial S-300 system, the S-300PMU1 (SA-20 Gargoyle), can intercept 100 ballistic missiles and aircraft at once, at low and high altitudes within a range of over 150 km.

According to earlier reports, Iran has been negotiating a deal with Russia to obtain the sophisticated defense system. However, neither side has so far issued an official confirmation on the delivery of the S-300 to Iran.

Iran's increased mastery of missile technology comes amid widespread speculation about an Israeli military strike on Iran.

The New York Times cited one of the newly-installed US administration officials speaking on condition of anonymity, as saying last week that "the first big foreign crisis of the Obama presidency is a really nasty confrontation, either because the Israelis strike or because we won't let them."

Earlier in January The Times reported that the Israeli government had sought bunker-busting bombs from former president George W. Bush, and demanded refueling capability and overflight rights over Iraq to take out Iran's main nuclear enrichment plant at Natanz.

The former president, however, deflected the secret Israeli request and revealed that -- as an alternative -- new covert actions intended to sabotage Iran's nuclear program had been authorized.

The West has confronted Iran over its enrichment program, saying it is ultimately meant to build nuclear weapons.

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) signatory Tehran insists that its nuclear program is aimed at generating electricity.

The UN nuclear watchdog responsible for investigating Iran's nuclear program said in its most recent report that there is no link between the use of nuclear material and the “alleged studies” of weaponization attributed to Iran by the West.

people are saying on forushvatandefence.net that this is a mockup and has no hydrolics well what is the black thing protruding on that back below the tubes then?

Lur even if it is a mockup, it doesn't prove anything. The Missiles being paraded are also mockups. The I-300s that we have or are building would be protecting our airspace and wouldn't be on parades.

but the vehicle should not be mockup. should it??

Indeed from studying images of S-300 and HQ-9 Launcher this Iranian Launcher seems to lack alot of machinary at the rear and underside of the vehicle and to me the launcher just doesnt look beefy enough to be able to carry such weight and be very mobile but thats just my opinion from looking at S-300 launchers. The Tubes do seem real though (or very well made mockups)..But the lack of corresponding Radar TELs does make one wonder (which are equally important)...So overall I think this is a Mockup but indeed there is great value in such mockups. I honestly don't believe Iran has the missile tech just yet to build an S-300 missile (unless the Russians directly aided them) but I believe Iran could be planning on building its own launchers to quicken deployment of the S-300 system. And even if this is just propaganda, its a great example of the kind of propaganda you want. It makes the enemy wonder and while they may doubt its validity, they will still be a bit worried. Just my thoughts..

Lol I tend to overstudy things at times..but for example, when you look at the Picture on Page1 comparing the Iran S300, HQ-9 and S-300 you see something subtle but likely very important..Wheel spacing. Look how much closer the two sets of Axles are in Iran's Launcher compared to the Russian Chinese systems. It would indicate to me it has a different center of gravity that is more forward than its counterparts and would seem fairly unsafe to me. I think this launcher could carry such missiles but such a weight distribution to me would make it unstable going cross country. Than again perhaps it isn't meant for that (much like early S-300 launchers which were Semi-Trucks). Also the "Command Box" behind the cabin seems pretty plain without much detail at all (which would also indicate a mockup) but again this could be nothing, these are just my observations and as Ayyash can testify I do tend to over-analyize things sometimes lol...

Look at the Iranian and the Chinese S-300, the body is quite similar, don't you think? One more thing remains, the Iranian made is 80% of the actual height of S-300! Which makes me think that they either made it or had some help from the Chinese.

Where exactly did you get that 80% figure? And do you mean the TEL itself or just the tubes? The tubes are fairly similar to the S-300, they even have the same number of bands but the arrangement on this Iranian TEL is slightly different.

My God , im truly surprised...

how on earth did they manage to get them?


In the words of a wiseman : Holy shit !!

i think it is iranian home-made sytem like the chinese HQ9, i dont think russia delivered their s-300

but they must of had atleast 1 functioning unit to be able to reverse engineer it i think.

There was a story a while back of iran purchasing a few S-300 units from libya and croatia , it was only a rumour at the time.

but its confirmed now , iran does have them.

possibly, anyways im really glad they have them and im more glad that iran is producing them themselves instead of relying on those russian fagots. russians(like all slavs) cant be trusted, they act like they are iran's friend but they are ANTI-islam. i know this from personal experience

Iran do make those vehicle same as s-300 vehicle in Iran.
so from my point of view these vehicles are not a mockup, but the tube and the Command Box should be mockup, cause if Iran have them they should be in very limited number, so they better to be in position rather be in paraded.
