Sevome Khordad vs UAV. Poor thing never had a chance.

Any opinions why they placed the 3rd Khordad on a vessel?

interesting article that offers some answers

https://www.mashreghnews.ir/news/1085399/چرا-آمریکایی-ها-۲-بار-به-شناور-شهید-سیاوشی-نزدیک-شدند

in this article some interesting news, it is not in English, I used an automatic translator for the part of the article that can answer the user question "Draco.IMF"

"...............However, in the first place, the shipment of the 3rd of Khordad system with its marine vessel, which is a small-scale vessel that is more affected by the sea waves, shows that the preparations for the full development of the 3rd of Khordad naval model are being prepared. .

Creating the ability to operate from the sea and navigating the sea requires observing certain points in the system. Aside from the requirements for the operation of a radar and missile system in harsh sea environments, which are characterized by high and constant humidity, radar performance in tracking targets while the platform is constantly fluctuating due to sea waves with different ranges and frequencies. It is very important. This requires modifications to the system software in addition to hardware improvements.

On the other hand, the firing of the missile from the 3rd of Khordad system installed on the vessel also shows the necessary software and hardware changes in the missile, especially its searcher, so that the unstable conditions of the platform do not prevent the correct firing of the missile.

According to this hot test of the 3rd of Khordad system, the IRGC experts have done their job in complete news silence, and after making sure that it is correct, they have shown pictures of this important achievement.

Also, from the images published from the 3rd of Khordad system on the vessel of Shahid Siavashi, it can be understood that this system has been tested and tested several times and can be distinguished by the difference between the missiles (in the first photo and the photo from the moment of firing).

As mentioned, the main part of the 3rd of Khordad system is a radar carrier, crew chamber and three defense missiles. As a result, the system is small enough to fit in a marine vessel that, if the floating model is developed, becomes even smaller by removing the vehicle.

The use of air defense missiles on the 3rd of Khordad with a range of more than 100 km on IRGC naval vessels has on the one hand created a risk factor for enemy birds to better protect IRGC vessels in offensive operations and on the other hand a mobile naval platform for This system creates an advanced and valuable way to expand its performance beyond the coast.

In fact, if the naval vessel carrying the June 3 system in most parts of the Persian Gulf is about 80 to 110 kilometers from the coast of Iran, this system will be able to engage with targets on the southern shores of the Persian Gulf.

Due to the very high range of Iranian radar surveillance systems and early warning, it is possible to move missile defense systems farther from the shore by sea vessels; The Navy is also pursuing the Dena, which is scheduled to be operational in the South Fleet in the near future.

Increased air defense capability in medium to long range and high altitude by missiles such as Sayad-2 and 3 and missiles of the 3rd of Khordad system, an important event in the country's defense field both in the present to increase deterrence and in times of conflict A potential military is crucial to the ability to strike at an enemy air fleet.

Increasing the number of naval air defense systems and completing its various links from short to long range is a complementary factor in the above efforts to achieve a reliable naval defense, which is hoped to be developed by developing a marine model of other air defense systems. It will be realized soon.

Very interesting, in a part of the clip you can see the missile diving at target from the top. This system in which the missile is at a higher angle relative to the target increases the likelihood of the low RCS targets to be detected due to their relatively higher RCS from these differing angles:

It wouldn't be a surprise if this missile could launch from submarines off shores from Gulf of Oman as long as you have illumination target from the Iranian coast!

also top attack capability means your missile due to higher altitude, always has energy to counter maneuverable targets. also the missile due to it's position is immune to +9g maneuvers that in most of the times pilots do to dodge the incoming missile.

"Fake weapons" believers must be rejoicing at this. smh.

There is a chance the 3rd of Khordad system was placed on the vessel to test it in sea conditions. That means that the system might be used on future warships. Isnt the IRGC building a new vessel? It might be equipped with a VLS launched version of the 3rd of Khordad.

So this was true, the IRGC tested the 3rd of Khordad's naval variant, as well as a test for firing while moving. This test shows that the 3rd of Khordad can be used on warships as well as used on the ground while moving, but I think that the vehicle itself would need some changes.

Also the IRGC said that they are entering the long range naval air defence field.

Seems IRGC is working on their own very long range air defence! Hopefully we will see the "super Sevome Khordad" with 200km range that I wished for.

IRGC Commander: Iran to Build Long-Range Air Defense Systems

TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Air Defense Force Brigadier General Reza Shaban announced IRGC plans to manufacture long-range high-altitude air defense systems.
"We are in possession of home-made low-altitude air defense systems and they have passed the tests very successfully, and there are now very good plans to build long-range high-altitude air defense shields and God willing, we will witness manufacturing different such systems in the near future," General Shaban told FNA on Saturday.

"Today, we have high capabilities in building radars, including Bashir, Qadir and other radars and they will enter the operational stage of the IRGC Air Defense Force gradually," he added.

"Actually, we are able to design any needed radar and we have gained self-sufficiency in this field," General Shaban said.

Iran has produced different powerful missile defense shields in recent years, including Third of Khordad.

A year after a US intruding drone was shot down over the Southern coasts of Iran by the IRGC Aerospace Force, new images of the naval version of the missile system were released for the first time.

The system has been stationed on the IRGC Shahid Siavoshi frigate and is capable of target lock and missile fire with the frigate on the move.

Third of Khordad missile system, that has been 100% mass produced by the experts of the IRGC Aerospace Force, is the same system which shot down on June 20, 2019 the highly advanced MQ-4C Triton drone of the American terrorists in Iran’s territorial waters South of the country near Kouh-e Mobarak region at an altitude of 50 thousand feet.

This system was unveiled for the first time during the visit of Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei. It is capable of engaging and intercepting 4 active targets at each round and has been assigned for countering tactical and strategic aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and drones and can also shoot down its targets under electronic warfare conditions.

Last year, IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh had informed of designing and making a missile system that, unlike the existing systems in the world, can trace, lock, engage and intercept targets on a moving platform.

The Third of Khordad Air Defense Shield fires Taer-2 Missiles which have also been developed and mass produced at the IRGC Aerospace Force. Third of Khordad defense shield is also capable of launching Sayyad-2 missiles with a range of 75 kilometers.

These images have for the first time shown the production phases and production line of the system at the industrial sections of the IRGC Aerospace in which there are young men and women working to this end.

Shahid Siavoshi frigate of the IRGC Naval Force, which carries the Third of Khordad missile system, has been domestically made and it is the same frigate which had an encounter with the USS Vella Gulf warship of the US Fifth Fleet on March 7, 2020 while patrolling the Persian Gulf and forced it to move away.

On June 20 last year, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force announced that it used the Iran-made short-range and mid-altitude 'Third of Khordad' missile defense shield to bring down the US spy drone over the country's Southern coasts, releasing videos that showed the flight path of the plane as well as the moment it was brought down.

The incident marked the first direct Iranian attack on US assets and came amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. The downing of the $220mln drone was also the latest in an escalating series of incidents in the Persian Gulf since mid-May, including suspected attacks on six tankers that the US blamed on Iran. Tehran has denied any involvement in the incidents.
