It honestly looks more like a Loitering munitions than SAM's. It even has a Jet propulsion.
Yes,that is in fact exactly what it is.It honestly looks more like a Loitering munitions than SAM's. It even has a Jet propulsion.
Heres a recent vid of what looks very much like a "358" intercepting a scan eagle uav in yemen
This is at least the second time its been used to engage a uav,with a prior ch4 shoot down likely to its credit.
Alas poor Dr Bull,if only he had been as good at picking his business associates as he was at designing artillery,then I`m sure that he would likely still be in the artillery design business today........rather than the pushing up daises business.I wonder if it might have been cheaper to have outbid Iraq for Gerald Bull and had him build Uber high ack-ack
Yes,that was the first thought of a few people,however it doesnt really stack up.I would call it Rehosted rather than manufactured or cloned. as everything looks exactly like TOR. even the Gas turbine generator in the back of the truck.
Heres a comparison pic between the turrets of an original tor m1 in iranian service,and the new dezful.
It becomes obvious very quickly when you look at them,that these are not exactly alike,and that in fact there are lots of small physical differences in detail between the 2 systems,which I think is not something that you would expect to see if this were merely a rehousing of the original tor m1 onto a new vehicle,or a modernisation of its electronics.
