Have they shown any pictures of obviously fake units yet like they did a couple of years ago with their fake fighter jet?

The most popular type of paper airplane in 1979 at the USAF Aircraft Weapons School was one set on fire. It was called the Iranian plane.

I hear their subs have state of the art screen doors as well.

I don’t believe it, but with Ted Cruz’s $150 BILLION Iranian cash infusion, these sorts of claims could start to become true.

As CIWS go, that’s actually a relatively slow rate of fire. The 50 cal, while a great round, doesn’t go as far or hit as hard as a 20mm or 30mm as is common in other CIWS. That’s been the big criticism of CIWS - by the time it actually hits an inbound (particularly a supersonic inbound) the ship is still going to take a hit from high velocity flaming debris. With all the relatively delicate sensors, radars, and comm gear topside, even a shotgun hit like that could be a mission kill. I’d bet the Iranian system suffers from these shortcomings even more - to a higher degree.

Perhaps they’ll be ready in time for our rail-tests.
