Burdened by decades of Western restrictions on arms imports in the wake of the 1979 revolution, the Islamic Republic has created a powerful homegrown defense sector, ranging from radar and missile systems to satellites and defense electronics.
Iranian engineers have created technologies capable of detecting the “fingerprints” of enemy equipment – including the radar signature identifying individual Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets, Iran Electronics Industries (IEI) chief Brig. Gen. Amir Rastegari has revealed.

“We have the fingerprints of the enemy’s electronic equipment. Just as fingerprints are unique to humans, this is also the case in regard to electromagnetic systems, and we have achieved the technology [to detect them] for several years,” the official said in an interview with local media.
“For example, if the radar of an F-35 fighter begins operations and surveillance, it emits radar waves which are different from those of another’s F-35’s radar waves. Today, we are capable of recognizing them, that is, we can receive and analyze the telecommunication, radio and magnetic signals and find out the warplane they belong to. If the same fighter jet starts operating later, we will immediately find out about it,” Rastegari explained.
This capability to monitor “all dimensions” of the electromagnetic waves projected by enemy aircraft allows Iran to plan its defensive operations accordingly, the official said.
Iran has also gained the ability to bombard the radar and communications systems of enemy aircraft with radio waves to disrupt their operations, and has successfully tested its systems out against real-world adversaries, Rastegari said.
“Some time ago, an enemy aircraft approached to within our airspace boundaries and began emitting radar waves to collect information. We jammed this aircraft, but the enemy pilot thought his system was malfunctioning and called back to base, saying ‘my systems have encountered a problem, I will return.’ We have records of this exchange. The next day, two more enemy planes approached…This time we disrupted both of them,” the official noted. “As soon as we began to disrupt them, the two planes realized that our ground systems were jamming them, so they radioed to base that a ‘jammer is operating here and we can no longer operate.’ This capability exists in our Armed Forces today. We can disrupt [the enemy] if we see a threat at distances of several hundred kilometers away.”
Rastegari, a veteran of fierce skirmishes between Iranian and US forces operating in the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq War, recalled that as a young officer on board an Iranian warship which engaged the powerful US 5th Fleet, he had to observe with “bitterness” how Iran’s military was forced to rely on WWII-era flak cannons to engage American A-6 Intruder jet aircraft, allowing the US planes to effectively act with impunity.
“But that is not the case today,” the brigadier general emphasized, pointing to dramatic advances in radar and missile technology which allowed Iran’s defenses to down a stealthy US Global Hawk spy drone in 2019 after it intruded into Iranian airspace over the Strait of Hormuz with a single shot.
The official characterized the current era as the era of a “sixth generation” of warfare consisting of hybrid and network-oriented war, smart weapons, unmanned weapons systems and artificial intelligence. To remain a step ahead of the enemy, Iran’s radar and electronic warfare systems must be able to see the enemy before they see Iran, he stressed.
Iran is already engaged in an “electronic war” against its adversaries, Rastegari noted, with enemies testing the nation’s airspace defenses on a regular basis. Iran’s air and border defense forces are also forced to engage in a constant battle against micro-drones, with the military using electronic warfare tools to bring them down before they can reach their targets.
Iran Electronic Industries (IEI) is a state-owned company and is the largest electronics company in the Islamic Republic. Its products have provided the Middle Eastern nation with a panoply of homegrown equipment ranging from radar and electro-optics to electronic warfare systems and encrypted telecommunications, satellites, sonar and network-based warfare systems. The defense electronics sector has also shared some of its know-how with the civilian economy, helping Iran to solve problems stemming from Western sanctions
NEWS FROM LONDONISTAN
hot from the trenches
THE GOVERNMENT IS PLAYING THE RACE CARD
” What is the two card trick” ?
The two card trick works like this,
you vote say Labour, they work against the people so next time to get them out
you vote Tory, then labour then Tory again then Labour etc
In angry desperation to be rid of them.
Each time the PTB laugh their heads off at you, as politicians are not there for you
or your families benefit.
While we have our folk living on the streets, many cannot afford to heat their homes
and the food banks cannot cope, that Criminal Boris Johnston gave £300 million
of our money to Ukraine, rubbing salt into the deep economic wounds of English people.
To cap it all Foreign migrants, all young fit men are being put up in posh UK hotels.
Tony Blair is known across the world as the “Arsole of UK politics” but is Boris Johnston any better ?
For the sake of your children and grand children, do not fall for the two card trick
do not vote for more of the same, its time to be rid of the criminal racists,
who people traffic in migrants and allowed them to terrorise the whole Rochdale area
with the serial rape of up to 1700 mostly underage girls.
Time now to sweep the stables clean of those who would play the two card trick.
I’ve said this in the past, and quite some time ago. I’ve no doubt that Russia has been helping Iran, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Iran can not only identify F35s, but jam them, so they can’t operate, and this could extend to jamming a US carrier, if it were within range, but then again, just one very fast stealth boat, and a US carrier could be open to attack.
This is an advance on what America could do with electronic signatures twenty or thirty years ago. The Russians had built two nuclear submarines and the Americans who had sensors on the sea floor around the world could tell which sub was which by the electronic signatures given off by their freezers. One sub was operating around the world and had a much larger freezer than the second sub which operated close to Russia’s shores. This sub docked more frequently and so only needed a smaller freezer.
What the Iranians say they can do with electronic warfare may make manned military aircraft obsolete and turn war into battles between UAVs, missiles and AI weapons. Then because hypersonic missiles are unstoppable and AI weapons will become near-peer maybe hot wars will become pointless and rare.
Sarah Nutenyahu ( the basis for the TV miss piggy ) is a loudmouth who says to much to the wrong people so much gets out from israel via her
Israel has been pushing to the USA to deal with Iran the same way it did to iraq and 6 other countries in the area, but at home the poofstering agenda foisted onto american men means they are more interested in nobbing each other
Alas the USA under obama and Biden have become a laughing stock
when Nutenyahu said ” Palestine today tomorrow America ” he was not joking
Could a ‘stealth’ jet be tracked by its heat signature and/or by the tutbulence created when it flies? Asking for a friend…And, who made some of the important software.
It would appear from the information available that the MIC may have created the aeronautical equivalent of an automobile ‘lemon’!
People in the UK do not want to pay for charles coronation
(1) the murder of princess Diana
( 2) the forcible circumcison of his boys
( 3) the closeness of Jimmy Savile and other sex offenders
(4) The knighthood of that bstrd Tony Blair
(6) the aquiescence to the migrant swamping of the UK

The twin engine F-22 Raptor in the photo is actually still one of the best fighters in the world as one would expect considering how outrageously expensive it is to buy and operate. (Which btw not even Israhell is allowed to “buy” from the long suffering Yankee taxpayers).
Unlike the equally outrageously expensive,but incredibly useless F-35 Lightning POS that the Yanks are forcing all of their “allies and friends” to buy instead of far better European/Russian aircraft for a fraction of the cost.
CORONATION
The Queen is on her deathbed:
“Charles come closer, I want you to know I’ve decided to abdicate the Monarchy”…
“i want some changes, “When I die all our wealth, power and privilege will be given back to the people, to see them through the storm”…
“No child on my Island will go to bed cold and hungry”…
our homeless will be housed, food banks will be a thing of the past
and all the filthy migrant scroungers sent home along with the Rochdale child shaggers
and that murderous bastard Tony Blair will be hung from lamp post outside parliament.
“This is my final request and I want you to adhere to it”.
Charles replies, “No Mummy, really ? surely you can’t be serious.”
The Queen says with a rye smile and a wink,
Na – Na “Got ya ya fuckin daft pillock !!.”
Being a mainstream Russian Source – it is a dam sight more reliable than the Western MSM (which has been reporting on Iran’s impending nuclear capability for the last several decades) or most Intelligence co-opted ‘Alternative’ sites at that –
Or, as Wikipedia puts it, as if to underline its essential trustworthiness –
‘Sputnik is frequently described by academics and journalists as a Russian propaganda outlet.[2] In 2016, Neil MacFarquhar of The New York Times wrote: “The fundamental purpose of dezinformatsiya, or Russian disinformation, experts said, is to undermine the official version of events—even the very idea that there is a true version of events—and foster a kind of policy paralysis.” ‘
You can trust Neil Farki-harss (Kenneth Williams played him in 1972’s ‘Carry on Abroad’) – he knows the Russian for ‘Disinformation’!
He knows a lot of things!!
Ok shown in the image is not a f35 no that is a f22 an second the only way this detection is even possible is if one of our own spied in the specifications for said aircraft so ya one of our own don sold us out ..probably joe biden na that fuck tard can’t even remember what he ate for breakfast but he is a communist sympathizer that is provable….
l suppose most of these F35 ‘radar signatures’ will still be stuck on the runway…inoperative..waiting for the tranny’s and black female ‘engineers’…
or more likely..
crashed in a field next to one…
FUBAR…
I doubt enough F-35s will get off the ground, anyway.
In the late 60s and 70s
when russian submarines would lay in one of the deep trenches in the english channel
and soak up all the radio transmissions, we always knew which sub it was because when running on silent the noise and vibration of the ventilation fans
we could run on total silence because one old man in an east london factory would hand build 16 bladed fans and work them until they spun perfectly with no sound
the government in its wisdom decided to close the little factory
in order to stay open they asked for an export licence to supply the russian navy
“Uegene Ivanov said “even for the british this was the height of stupidity”
So shortly after we could no longer trace Russian subs by ventilation fan noise in the worlds busiest shipping lanes the engish channel
Dr. pete: you can’t buy the F22 Raptor. Probably because it’s a pile of dog shit. In fact, it’s so bad, I don’t think it’s even deployed outside the US. Maybe Israel were given some, which were supposedly storm damaged.
It’s boring because it’s relative, a tit-for-tat forever. I heard a military man say that for every weapon there is a counter-weapon
Actually the Chinese & Russians have been using long wavelength as in meter wavelength and as opposed to millimeter wave radar for years now to detect Stealth. There are others ways such as Wake Disturbance i.e. the atmospheric changes produced by the jet exhaust used to detect stealth. They are definitely hard to detect but their main use is to increase geometrically the price because the ultimate target, slated for destruction, is the US taxpayer.
Tim Williams, who’s “us”? What do you mean when you say “one of our own don sold us out”?
Unless you’re one of the communist elite in the U.S. or unless you identify with them for some bizarre reason, *we* have no military. The F-22s and the F-35s and all the other military hardware under the control of the U.S. “government” is being indirectly used against the people of the U.S.
Every time “Biden” does another reckless provocation against Russia and/or China and/or Iran, it is an indirect provocation against the people of the U.S. The Satanic U.S. “government” is the deadly, implacable enemy of every decent person on earth. The whole world including of course the people of the U.S. would be far better off if the U.S. “government” had no functional or useful military hardware at all.
