Iran Military Video Collection

[Ayyash]

This potentially a very valuable section, but unfortunately, it hasn't been updated since 2007. So here is my collection of videos i have on my hard drive.

First a disclaimer. None of these videos, unless otherwise noted, are mine. I take no credit for producing, capturing, original uploading, etc. All of the videos i will upload to this thread were found on either places like Youtube, or other forums. If one of these videos belongs to you and you wish me to remove it, contact me and i will be obliged to do so.

While these videos might all be available elsewhere like on youtube or rapidshare, i'm uploading them here to create an easy-to-use database complete with short descriptions, as well as offering them up for download. But most importantly, youtube videos get taken down and rapidshare links expire, here they'll forever have a stable, watchable source.
