No deaths yet? Surprised.

At this rate, it would take Iran more than a million years to make a dent in American military machine if a war were to occur. I reckon the Taliban, Iraqis, Vietnamese, North Koreans, Chinese and rag tag militias or fighters like Al Qaeda or whatever else existed performed better.

There was at least one suicide I think.

Shell shock can be pretty serious. Iran could have easily obliterated the place. The only reason there were no immediate casualties was because Iran warned the Iraqi government, the nation the US base was on, before the attack. It was a warning by Iran and I think it had pretty massive effect. The US had enough time to evacuate the base but the idiotic decision to dig in led to this result. The fact is the US did not expect the missiles to be that accurate to begin with. They were probably relying on it being similarly accurate to Saddam's Scud strikes.
The funny thing is most of the missiles Iran used aren't even the latest generation ones. They expended mostly prior generation missiles.

: D

In this fight the USA military was defeated, and Iran won without any losses.

The USA doesn't even considering now to start a war with IRan. Strategical objective fulfilled.

And from military perspective, the optimal target of an attack is not to kill the enemy soldiers, but seriously wound them, to not to be capable to conduct any more combat missions, and require care .

That means the wounded soldiers using up logistical and manpower resources, decreasing the given military warfighting capabilities.

If a soldier die, then only the dogtag needs to be collected.

Considering that North Korea is far more isolated, maligned, authoritarian, negatively portrayed, 1/3 of Iran in population about 1/15 in area, and 1/100 or less in natural resources, North Korean achievement so far has surpassed Iran in most definitive terms. North Koreans do not need to go to the West to sign JCPOA and hand over their nuclear materials, allow IAEA inspectors in and accede to other Western intrusive demands that transgress on their sovereign rights.

It is Iran that has done so.

Iran and North Korea comparisons are meaningless because they operate in very different environments with very different considerations. Iran can do anything North Korea can do, and better. But the two are subject to different goals and constraints.

For example, North Korea is a one man-led cult of autocratic leadership, Iran is the largest hybrid Islamic democracy in its region. Iranians will not accept living like North Koreans and Iranian civil society is far more advanced than virtually all of its regional peers, let alone North Korea.

FWIW, North Korea did agree to similar concessions under the 1994 Agreed Framework. And the vast majority of Iran's voluntary concessions (supposedly in exchange for economic integration with the West) are temporary (enrichment restrictions phased out after 10-15 years, UNSC sanctions lifted permanently in 2031, weapons embargo already lifted in 2020, etc) and provide time for Iran to complete work on IR-8/9 centrifuges that are not ready to be deployed yet (there are more theories about this that I don't want to go into).

10-15 years of restrictions (that allow Iran to continuously enrich uranium and are gradually lessened with time) in exchange for full lifting of UNSC sanctions (a major issue) and global acceptance of Iran's legal right to enrichment (immediate) and unlimited nuclear program (after 15 years - a blink of an eye in strategic terms), with economic integration during that period to incentivise all parties to maintain the deal, while Iran continues R&D on advanced centrifuges ready to be deployed at the end of this period. This was a solid decision at the time, albeit that it failed due to Trump being used by Netanyahu. But I believe it remains the best plausible path forward for Iran (if accompanied with suitable domestic policies and preparations).

Needed reminder of Iran's ballistic missile power

Can somebody tell me what this flame-baiting vitriolic obsessive hatred has to do with the thread or even the topic at hand? @Deino

Regardless, reference to "regime" automatically makes you not worth my time.

Yeah man, why so harsh, DPRK and Iran are cooperating, respecting each other and figuering together who to survive and fight back to the West's plague. Both countries are subjects of inhuman sanctions and embargoes. This is poor judjing, pointing out the problems these nations are facing as something abstract. They are "behing" the 1st world because they are Muslims or governed by crazy dictators. lol

Iran unveils 1st fully indigenous Iranian-made diesel marine engine (3600 hp)​

In a ceremony on Tuesday in the presence of Iran's Army-Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani and Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari, the first large Iranian-made diesel marine engine entitled "Makran" and largest marine industry innovation factory in Bushehr in the south of Iran and some other naval achievements were unveiled and inaugurated.

Iranian naval diesel engine with a power of 3600 hp is capable of increasing the speed of military vessels up to 30 knots. Previously, the speed of these vessels was 15 knots.

Stating that the diesel engine is fully designed and built by the young experts inside the country, Admiral Irani said that the parts of this engine are completely Iranian-made and will be installed on the Iranian warships.

He said that this engine has special features and is capable of coping with future naval missions.

There are only five countries in the world that can build marine diesel engines, and fortunately, Iran has made to be one of them, according to Army Navy commander.
