Soheil, I take the NO for the last question. What is the origin of this picture? Original work? Iranian space agency / MOD?
There is a HUGE difference between a cluster of 4 No Dong engines, Each with its own turbo pump, and the Soviet (Russian now...) designs of a single engine with 4 combustion chambers and a common turbo pump assembly.Iran has a long way to validate the crude cluster design, let alone move forward to more advance one.

separate design is safer ...

A Defense Intelligence Agency spokesman declined to comment on the test.

This comparison is not allowed because the Safir-0 mock-up is not standing on the same level as the Simorgh show model.
