Looks like it was 'borrowed' from one of their Cobra gunships.

Looks like it's mounted on a Plant-stand.

They've developed cloaking technology for weapon mounts -- just the mounts, though, not the weapons.

LOL. When you shoot it, it goes Allidakka-allidakka-allidakka
Such fruitful minds these Iranian weapons developers.

I would assume that "PhotoShop Technician" is an actual military occupational specialty in the Revolutionary Guards by now.

Supposedly 23mm, not 20, but when you have a good number of Cobras to reverse-engineer from, it is probably almost identical to the M197 20mm.

Unbeliever! For your sins, you will pay when the Revolutionary Government comes into power!

Anyone else notice this thing lacks even the most rudimentary sights?

Even the matchlock musket below has more advance sights than this Iranian weapon:

I suspect that like most of these Iranian weapons, it's a story designed for local consumption.

They believe it too – go to any English language Iranian defence forum and you get a really good laugh.
