Iranian media claimed that an automatic remote control machine gun shot at Fahrizad from a Nissan car. According to CCTV News
on the evening of November 29, local time, the Iranian Fars News Agency disclosed in its report that Iran’s important nuclear Details of the assassination of physicist Fahrizad. According to CCTV News, the agency reported that the entire assassination operation lasted three minutes, and there was no human factor at the assassination scene, and the shooting was done by remote-controlled automatic weapons.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Shamhani said on November 30 that this was a very complex assassination operation and was carried out by electronic equipment. There was no human factor at the scene (that is, no murderer or assailant appeared at the scene, but electronic weapons were used), but Iran found some clues.
But one wave has not settled and another wave has risen. Two days after Fahrizad was attacked and killed, according to CCTV News, a number of media recently quoted sources from Iraq as saying that on November 29, a senior Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Commander and three entourages were in Iraq with The Syrian border area was hit by a drone and died. In this regard, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the 1st that it has not received a report on the relevant content, and the news seems to be a media hype. The truth of the
Fahrizad assassination case is still "Rashomon". Although no organization or individual has declared responsibility for the incident, the Iranian side believes that the attack was planned and carried out by Israel; on the other hand, some people also put forward different views on the "remote remote control assassination".
Expert: The risk of remote remote control assassination is high, and the equipment must be secretly stored. The details of the
Fahrizad assassination incident are still "Rashomon": It is reported that 12 people assassinated the team with the assistance of a logistics team of about 50 people. Sniping was carried out at the scene; there were also reports that no killer was present, and all remote-controlled machine guns fired, which ended in 3 minutes and left.
However, intelligence and security experts told CNN that although such remote-controlled machine gun technology is not out of reach, they question whether such a sharp and precise attack can be achieved through remote control. Because remote control will bring many risk factors to an operation with a low fault tolerance rate. The
expert pointed out that whether it is a remote control assassination from another country or several kilometers away, it is a very complicated matter, and there are many risks before the assassination. The master behind the scenes had to sneak into expensive high-tech equipment, including communication relays, satellite receivers, and remote control weapons. To avoid detection, these devices had to be disassembled and smuggled into Iran in the form of parts, and then assembled in the country. During the entire process, these devices must be stored secretly somewhere.
The scene of the attack. According to the above report by Twitter
Iran’s Fars News Agency, when Fahrizad got out of the bulletproof car, an automatic remote control machine gun came from a Nissan car parked 150 meters away. He started shooting, and three bullets hit him on the spot. Moments later, the Nissan car exploded. The above-mentioned experts pointed out that, therefore, an explosive device that can be activated remotely is needed in this operation. This is also something that needs to be secretly stored. During the assassination process of
, all equipment must not fail because no one was there to solve the problem temporarily. In the event of a communication failure, a stuck gun or an automatic destruction device that fails to detonate, any situation may fail the entire assassination plan and leave equipment on the scene that can be hacked by Iranian security forces.
remote control attacks are not new, has Israeli companies with very mature targeting technology
, does Israel have such remote control assassination weapons?
remotely control weapons from a car to launch attacks on targets, this technology is not new. A Samson 30 long-range weapon system of Rafael, an Israeli military and defense product company that specializes in weapons manufacturing, has been sold to 25 countries. However, this weapon system was too large to fit into the Nissan vehicle at the scene of the assassination. However, many countries including Germany, Spain, the United States and Australia are producing similar systems.
In addition, according to the American technology, evaluation and design website The Drive, Israel’s Smart Shooter’s Lightweight Remote Controlled Weapon Station (LRCWS) allows untrained users to achieve "one hit and hit" accuracy. The company's SMASH 200The 0 system can attack moving targets, including drones, and its targeting technology has been very mature. The US military uses this system in Syria. Now, the company combines its gun sighting technology with light remote-controlled weapon station technology, and its smash hopper remote-controlled machine gun weighs only 25KG and can be packed and moved quickly.
In addition, according to Nitzan Nuriel, former Israeli counter-terrorism chief, Israel “has already used remote-controlled machine guns in the military”, but this does not mean that Israel is responsible for the assassination.
British think tank Royal United Service Institute (Royal United Service Institute) defense expert Jack Vautrin said that using an automatic weapon to aim at a target "in theory is possible, but it may also be aimed at targets you don't want to aim at. "This technology is not an effective way to deal with a single-target precision attack, so it "will not work in this assassination attack." Its main application is to use in those "no entry areas", such as destroying all targets in a controlled area where an attacker should not be present.
In addition, Jack Vautrin also pointed out that it takes a lot of planning and a lot of intelligence to grasp the activities of the vehicle in which the target is being attacked and know when it can approach. However, the previous series of attacks have been using very, very simple Assassination technique. When an assassination organization executes an assassination, it tends to be the most reliable plan. For example, in 2010, Iranian nuclear scientist Majid Shariari was assassinated when a killer on a motorcycle dropped a bomb into a car.
Iran: With professional weapons and brand-new methods, the assassination can only be successful.
Iranian media claimed that the weapons collected at the scene "have the signs of the Israeli military industry", which is evidence of the Israeli assassination of Fahrizad. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declined to comment on the death of Fahrizad.
has another detail worth paying attention to-Fahrizad was riding in a bulletproof car. The Fars News Agency and other Iranian media claimed that Fahrizad got out of the car and was shot later and eventually died. A complex assassination operation requires years of intelligence gathering and months of planning. The success or failure depends on whether Fahrizad gets off the car? If he stays in the car, the assassination will fail completely.
On the evening of November 29, the Public Relations Office of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence issued a statement on the assassination. The statement stated that Iran has obtained some clues about the terrorist attack through related actions by the staff of the Ministry of Intelligence and will announce more information to the public later. In addition, CCTV News quoted local media reports that Shamhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, stated on November 30 that this was a very complex assassination operation and was carried out by electronic equipment. There was no human factor at the scene (that is, no murderer or assailant appeared at the scene, but electronic weapons were used), but Iran found some clues. It is quite certain that the terrorist organization MKO (Iranian People’s Mujahideen) in Iran was involved, and the assassination was inextricably linked to the Israeli regime and intelligence organization Mossad.
In addition, Shamhani stated that Iranian intelligence agencies believe that Fakrizad has always been a target of the enemy, so Iran has taken necessary measures to protect his safety. But this time the enemy used completely professional weapons and brand-new methods to make the assassination successful.
