THREAD: A new video by IMA Media means a new set of interesting high quality imagery to look at! In this one we get to see images taken by Iran's Nour-1 Satellite, new missile launchers, new smart bombs, and possibly new missiles... 1/

First we see what looks like a satellite tracking station, then a graphic of "IRAN_SAT" sending signals to Tehran. Next, imagery of Al-Udeid Airbase, which seem to be taken at different times. You can see changes in positions of KC-135s. "Changes in targets" written underneath 2/

There's also this... what looks like infrared view, but I'm no expert in satellite imaging signatures so I hope someone else can chime in. But for example in the first image, you can clearly see the aircraft. 3/

A lot of the video focuses on the recent wargames centred around the mockup "aircraft carrier" used as a target. Enter participant one: the newest variant of the Shahed-129, carrying a pair of small Sadid guided bombs. 4/

The Shahed-129 has the carrier in its sights and later drops a Sadid on an unsuspecting "F-18" mockup. 5/

Shahed-181 and -191 UCAVs also participate in the exercise. S-181 uses a propellor, while S-191 is jet-powered. Both are subscale Iranian versions of the RQ-170 UAV that Iran captured in 2011. 6/

The Yasin guided glide bomb, which was previously only shown as a mockup, was also used in the exercise. The symbology gives some detail:

Weight: 300kg
Guidance: GPS/Glonass/INS

Note: once fully released, the wings are *not* swept.

Yasin is dropped from an IRGC-ASF Su-22M4, which has a targeting pod and additional cockpit screens for weapons employment. For reference, 4th image shows standard Su-22M4 cockpit.

Now. There were a whole host of ballistic missiles, including new launchers. 9/

This is a dual launcher for what look like Fateh-110 missiles. Quite rare for Iran to have multiple BM launchers. 10/

One of the most interesting shots is the AN/TPY-2 mockup being hit by a ballistic missile. AN/TPY-2 is the the main radar for the THAAD ABM system, which is operated by the US and UAE (among others), and has been purchased by Saudi Arabia. 11/

Due to its large size, the AN/TPY-2 is deployed statically, and targeting it wouldn't even require anti-radiation missiles. It could be done with the standard GPS/INS guided missiles Iran operates. 12/

In a separate video, there are new "missile farms", with TBM-class missiles in silos. They are unique for not being VLS, and are very well hidden in the terrain. It also seems like there is a new, finless missile being used. 13/

Another thing I should note from the IMA Media video; assuming video speed isn't sped up (doesn't seem so), the containerised missile - which looks like a Dezful - is REALLY fast to launch. I'd wager it's faster than any of Iran's existing Fateh class missiles... 14/

Which is really odd considering it looks to be closer to Dezful size than the original Fatehs. It's comparable to a SAM launch. 15/
