This was probably the first kill by the Qaem-118 in its operational debut.

Supposed launcher vehicle


I think the whole category of air defense weapons that don't look like air defense have been quite successful.

Yes,I`d certainly agree.
The rapid and often surprising development of drone tech has allowed for the development of new classes of anti drone weapons such as jet powered loitering sams and others that might be more correctly thought of as interceptor drones.
Who knows what directions this might have gone in 20 years from now.

Yeah, well the cat is now out of the bag and the Israelis know what to look for now.

Destruction of a 358 missile launcher. Can be distinguished from 359 via its short snoot.
Difficult to detect.

A rather Mickey-Mouse looking SAM.

On another note has Iran made unlicensed copies of the MIM-23 Hawk?

Something a bit off about it though, or is that just my imagination?

Which are you referring to? I'm guessing the photo of the "358" sam?

The footage of the attack on the Talaash/Sayyad launcher.

Iranian AD-08 Majid Shorads spotted in Armenia during the may 28th republic day parade rehearsals.

Looks to be mounted on an iveco 4x4 chassis.

Evidently the Armenians have renamed this as the "Karich".

They added some sort of small radar array. Interesting.

Thats something we`ve seen previously on the ones in iranian service,it first showed up late in 2025.
Theres also a new separate vehicle mounted search radar as well.

Interesting view on radar under the fairing.
