The tweet itself announces
1.1. A "hybrid UAV" which is very close to Griflion M8 made by MMCAV. Looks like #NEDAJA bought this commercially available drone and copied it. The capabilities of the Iranian Pelican-2 is not clear.

1.2. It's interesting that Pelican-1 was also very close to a quadplane. Quadplanes are made with a very basic fixed-wing radio control aircraft kit and customizing it with off-the-shelf quadcopter components. Pics thanks to @Azematt

2. The #Soren project is an Inertial navigation system ( #INS) for deep water navigation of #Fateh class submarines. This is the first Inertial navigation system for an Iranian submarine. No claim on the accuracy of the system has been given.
3.The Jask-2 underwater missile which can be launched from all Iranian submarines including Ghadir midget submarines. It's launched like a torpedo(capsule has its own motor) which probably limits the mass & missile motor starts after getting out of water.
4.1. Another announcement (not in the @Iran_Military post) was a scaled mock-up of a trimaran frigate. Looks like they are trying to copy the #USNavy Independence-class littoral combat ship hull design. Claimed capabilities by @AmirIGM. https://twitter.com/AmirIGM/status/1200727201378918401?s=20
4.2. China also displayed a trimaran frigate design almost 3 yrs ago similar to this Iranian one. 2,450 tons; Speed probably 30 kn+. 76-100 mm gun; VLS behind the gun and forward of the superstructure; SSM in canister launchers amidships, CIWS and chaff. https://www.defensenews.com/digital-show-dailies/idex/2017/02/21/china-displays-trimaran-frigate-design/
