Iran says new missiles can strike US ships in 435-mile radius

[Roybot]

More than weapons system, Iran needs to bolster its alliances and foreign policies. Next 10 years will be very crucial for Iran. If the Arabs and Israelis are able to strike a deal under Trump, they will be coming after Iran with everything they got.

Hopefully somewhere in future Iran will revealed their own Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile like Chinese
DF-21

Agreed,the problem at those ranges tho is one of real time detection and accurate targeting.To realistically be able to do this out to 2000km+ range iran would need a constellation of surveillance satellites to keep a constant watch over the Mediterranean/suez canal/red sea/horn of africa and indian ocean approaches to the persian gulf,so we can see that this is a big area and would require a few satellites in order to have constant real time monitoring.This would take a pretty big effort on irans part,but in theory is certainly not an insurmountable challenge by any means.

We should have something that could repel them in the air too for that distance ...



Don't you think they are responses to American policy towards Iran? for example we didn't occupy Canada and Mexico as the US neighbors while saying all options are on table from our military bases in the region.. we don''t have our fifth fleet of navy docked in Gulf of Mexico sending our drones inside of the US airspace... we have never supported a dictator in the US .. we never committed a military coup in the US against its elected democratic government ... we never supported Canada to invade the US ... we never supported Canadian dictator to use CW against American ... we never put sanctions on American so it become harder and harder for Americans to have access to medicine and job ... it ain't Iran that has used nukes against Japan and has 1000s of them and meanwhile scare people around the world from The US peaceful nuclear program ...

Tell them get out of this region .. u'd see nothing from us:

No more bases in Pakistan

I've always viewed Irans BM weaponry as more strategically rather than tactical. Iran doesn't have enough to use them like regular artillery/air strike but has enough to inflict heavy damage to crucial enemy facilities. So they play a decent deterrence role mainly.

The token attacks using the Fateh and the numerous variants of it against ISIS positions is always nice but their true purpose is much more deadly.

Not really. Most long range standoff weapons are 500 to 1000km so the aircraft launch from carriers can fire without being endangered from any SAMs. Not to mention future longe range missiles launch from aircraft like F-18s have almost 2000km range. And I haven’t mentioned bombers.

First of all, who says we let you get out of Persian Gulf?

Secondly, you're the best friend of Saudi beheaders. whats does that have to do with the discussion? nothing. i just want to make sure that you'll be reminded of your shit morality every time we speak

DF-21 is also designed to carry a tactical nuclear warhead. So pinpoint accuracy is not really that important as long as the missile lands within the general location of the carrier group, the destruction would be fatal.

Why Pakistan should consider it as threat @Mrc

[LOL!]Yes,that would certainly do it too.

Opportunity to develop same

Its must have for next few decades

Anti ship Ballistic missile will quite easily intercept by Long range high altitude SAMs, but we need to develop hyper-sonic Cruise missile or Maneuverable reentry warhead or boost glide warheads @Mrc

Just goes to show you have no idea what you are talking about.

On one hand you say ASBM are easily intercepted (wrong! Wrong!) but then you say you need a maneuverable re-entry warhead which is PART OF any modern ASBM!

Supersonic CM’s while valuable have much more limited range due to the amount of fuel needed to consume to reach such speeds.

A hypersonic is still in R&D and requires fairly advanced level of technology that Pakistan simply doesn’t possess, not to mention the costs associated with such a program at a time that Pakistan is struggling with finances.

Anyway a ASBM especially one on a quasi ballistic trajectory can be launched and hit its target in several mins. The reaction time for a carrier group is very short. The Fateh-110 reaches speeds of Mach 6+ in terminal phase.

Furthermore, firing an Anti-radiation or radar seeking ASBM alongside the traditional Fateh-110 will increase chances of hit.

This is not even assuming the carrier group is being attacked by a salvo or combination of CM and ASBM.

AsBM.are maneuverable .. they have to be to hit a moving target...

Its pretty much impossible to take down a maneuverable warhead coming at u with magnitude of mac speed

BMs are easy to detect, but hard to intercept. Their separating warheads are small targets, manoeuvre at high Gs, and travel at a high rate of Mach. Just a single hit is enough to cripple a ship.

You contradicting yourself, as speed increases,maneuverability/agility decreases @AmirPatriot
