Iran would build a new nuclear site beyond the reach of the best conventional Western bombs

The development of Iran's nuclear program is a matter of great concern on the international scene, particularly for the neighbors of the Islamic Republic, but also for Western countries that depend on energy supplies from the Middle East, as well as for Israel, which has long been designated by Tehran as the country's major adversary. In recent years, the warning messages have continued to follow, while Iran has purified quantities of uranium in its centrifuges well beyond the limits authorized by the International Atomic Energy Agency, 10 times more even, according to the organization. Iran itself contributes to this concern, by announcing that it has reached…

Russian R-37M long-range air-to-air missile combined with Su-35s more effective than expected in Ukraine

Developed in the 80s on the basis of the R-33 (AA-9 Amos) heavy missile, the R-37 (AA-13 Axehead) was designed to give devices that did not have the very powerful radar of the MIG-31, the ability to engage air targets at long range. For this, the semi-active radar seeker of the R-33 was replaced by an active radar seeker coupled with inertial navigation as for the American AIM-54 Phoenix missile equipping the US Navy's F-14 Tomcat, this which was to make it possible to equip the missile with a range of 200 km on board air superiority fighters such as the Su-27 or the Su-30. However, economic difficulties...

Faced with the potential arrival of Su-35s and S-400s in Iran, Israel formalizes an order for 25 F-15EX from Boeing

The tensions between Jerusalem and Tehran are, today, at the heart of the structural instability of the Middle Eastern theater. These are notably the result of the recurring clashes between the Israeli armed forces and the Shiite Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as those with the Iranian militias in Syria. In recent years, however, these tensions have experienced a very noticeable hardening, around the ballistic missile, cruise missile and long-range drone programs developed by the Iranian defense industry, giving its armies effective strike capabilities against the Israeli territory and in particular its critical infrastructures. Above all, the progress made by the Iranian nuclear program is now…

The first Russian Su-35se should arrive at the end of winter in Iran

While Iranian defense industries have made immense progress in some areas in recent years, such as drones, but also Baltic and cruise missiles and anti-aircraft systems, Tehran's armies remain often, depending on the area, poorly equipped with obsolete equipment inherited from the Sha era of the late 70s. This is particularly the case for the air forces which, apart from Chinese and Russian fighters acquired in the 90s, use F5, F4 and F-14 aircraft almost 50 years old. In fact, the announcement made by the Iranian authorities this Sunday through…

After Iran, will Russia also modernize the North Korean armies?

Since the Panmunjeom ceasefire signed on July 27, 1953, the Korean peninsula has remained one of the most intense points of tension on the planet. The nuclearization of Pyongyang, starting from the first successful test of a North Korean nuclear weapon on October 9, 2006, then from a first hydrogen bomb in January 2016, considerably changed the status of this frozen but unfinished conflict in the absence of an official armistice. However, if the North Korean armies line up considerable forces, with nearly 1,3 million men under the flag, 600.000 reservists, more than 4000 tanks, 2500 armored vehicles, 8000 artillery systems or even 500 aircraft…

After the Su-35s, Iran would be interested in Russian combat ships

Reports of an extended defense agreement between Tehran and Moscow have been constantly appearing in recent days, in particular regarding the acquisition of no less than 20.000 Iranian-designed drones and ballistic missiles by Russia in order to strengthen strike capabilities against Ukraine and its infrastructure. At the same time, Tehran would have obtained from its now partner and ally, agreements concerning the acquisition of very advanced military equipment, such as the 24 Su-35s initially built for Egypt, but never delivered. The growing isolation of the two countries on the world stage is indeed a particularly favorable framework for a rapprochement between…

Iran should receive Russian Su-2023s fighters in 35 according to the Pentagon

At the beginning of the 70s, Iran was considered one of the most valuable allies of the United States in the Middle East in order to control the Soviet threat as well as the growing power of the Iraqi armed forces, which were largely supported and equipped by Moscow. In 1972, President R. Nixon authorized the sale to Tehran of one of the most advanced combat aircraft in the American arsenal, the F-14 Tomcat, as well as the brand new AIM-54 Phoenix missile with active radar guidance. capable of reaching aerial targets up to 130 km away, in order to counter the arrival of new Mig-25s in the Iraqi air force. When the Sha regime was overthrown...

Iran's acquisition of Russian Su-35s could set fire to the Middle East

While the Russian intervention in Ukraine profoundly changed European geopolitics and triggered a major energy crisis, its influence on global geopolitics had so far been relatively moderate. As time goes by, some countries seem inclined to take advantage of Russia's relative isolation on this international scene, to their own advantage. This is the case of North Korea, which has intensified its exchanges with Moscow in recent weeks, in particular by offering available and very cheap labor to support the Russian war effort, in particular for major works. infrastructure and agricultural needs. In exchange, Pyongyang intends that Moscow lifts the…

Today, it was 30 planes of…

Have we overestimated the Russian Armies?

Since the beginning of the Russian offensive against Ukraine, the armies of the Kremlin have been closely observed by military specialists. This is, in fact, the first massive deployment of these armies since the invasion of Georgia in 2008, an operation which revealed many serious shortcomings within them. However, as in 2008, it appears that the Russian Armies are the subject of significant difficulties, even though the reforms of 2008 and 2012 were designed specifically to correct them and bring the Russian Armies to a much higher operational standard than that observed in the field. Under these conditions, and in view of the observations made on...
