But they used “organic” AND “in-house”. So assuming they knew what they were saying, they think they mean somewhat different things…

I’m obviously not all over the technical requirements of Blitz. Why is it necessary to post ‘bump’?

Apparently, you can post a maximum of 3 consecutive posts. After that you get blocked from posting until someone else has posted. Benny often has more than 3 ready to provide to us. The ‘bump’ opens the door in case Benny has more.

Greatly appreciated. Also adds a lot of pressure when I don’t have another interesting thing to post.

Funny, conversation just turned to talking about Iranian weapons as I was about to post this. Found some information on Iranian weapons being supplied to russia:
Russian forces began utilizing Geran-1 kamikaze drones. These are Shahed-131 loitering munitions that look very similar to Geran-2 (Shared-136), but are significantly smaller. They can be differentiated by its engine, which is a lot smaller in Shahed-131, and by some elements of the frame – Shahed-136’s warhead (around 50 kg) extends past the triangle-shaped hull.
Western intelligence came to a conclusion that Iran is preparing to give Russia two types of ballistic missiles: Fateh-110 (range of 300 km) and Zolfaghar (range of 700 km).
In terms of their specifications, these missiles are similar to Russia’s Iskanders (including the weight of the warhead) and have circular error probables (CEP) of around 15 m. We consider the shipment of these Iranian ballistic missiles to be another evidence that the supply of Iskanders is running out (except for the emergency reserves). It should also be noted that it’s been a long time since we have seen any use of Tochka-U missiles by separatists or Russian forces.
Distinguished arms control expert (nuclear weapons included) Jeffrey Lewis believes that it makes no sense not to arm Ukraine with ATACMS missiles.
Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs Nachman Shai upon receiving the news about Iranian intention to supply Russia with ballistic missiles noted that it is time for Israel to join Ukraine’s most active allies and start aiding the country’s efforts along with the US and NATO countries.
We believe Israel could theoretically provide Ukraine with IAI Harop loitering munitions, but we find this unlikely as Russia still has leverage over Israel. For example, there are Israeli non-profit organizations still operating in Russia, which can be closed. There is also behind-the-scenes diplomacy and tacit deals ensuring that geographical influence of the Iranians in Syria will not spread anywhere near the Golan Heights, guaranteed by Russia.
So, since the supply of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia does not threaten the security of Israel, we do not expect it to answer with supply of any modern powerful weapons to Ukraine.
