Iranian Missiles | News and Discussions

falmes prove that it's solid fuel.......if anybody admits or denies ;please explain

No, it's standart liquid fuel for this family of missiles. Specific orange plume in smoke, etc.
Simply, they are not so clearly visible, as usually, due to filming late in the evening or early in the morning.

Iran new Qader _ F missile with guided warhead, until the moment when it hits the target.

It is liquid missile and from Emad family something we can call Emad_2.

This missile is a game changer.

It is actually a strategic retreat. They have given up on the idea of freely navigating their naval units inside the Persian Gulf as they know if war starts none of them will get out in one piece. Now they are sufficing to having a base outside the Persian Gulf. I bet they will reduce the presence of their naval units in Bahrain. Good for Iran.

Please explains our missiles can easily reach Oman. Why is this a strategic retreat ?

because they are leaving Persian gulf.
Oman has good sight on Arabian sea, Indian ocean and east Africa coasts.

they need more space to maneuver against Iran.
Persian gulf become to shallow and narrow for them.

But they are not leaving. They are just adding one base outside the gulf.

Technically speaking that new missile is just a upgraded Ghadr/Shahab-3. In fact it is a warhead upgrade that can be applied on existing missiles by just mounting a new re-entry vehicle on it.
This is hence a great upgrade for the arsenal as the missile remains as is.
The missile is launched like a normal Ghadr/Shahab-3.
The difference is that the RV section is feed with the exact target coordinates via a cable connection. The directional allignment is probably done automatically.

Due to the slower speeds of earlier Ghadr/Shahab-3 variants, the thermal stress is a smaller problem than with the Emad/Khorramshahr RV.

In total the Ghadr/Shahab-3 arsenal can now be easily upgraded to point strike missiles, with the rest of the arsenal being submunition variants for areal targets.
It can be expected that all terminally unguided Ghadr/Shahab-3 variants with HE or distance fused frag warheads will be replaced by guided variants. In that way, kill cost-effectiveness is increased significantly.
Maybe oldest Shahab-3 variants can't be upgraded with this RV, but the rest can certainly be.
Variants with comparatively high precision of old guidance can use submunition warheads now, while older guidance packages can use the new warhead.

The threat of Iran's BM arsenal will significantly increase when a sufficient number of these RVs become available.

Btw. It was shown already openly elsewhere a while ago, but I keep quiet about it ;)

It is not rational to have two naval bases so close to each other. They are maybe 500 - 600 miles apart. It only means one is going to be abandoned in case of war which is the one in Bahrain. So my prediction is that it is gradually going to be abandoned anyways.

as far as i know;US wants to move all their naval baises to east of Asia. so the importance of other naval bases is decreasing as time goes by..........even making new naval base is something to complete their presence in arabian see;indian ocean and at the end south china sea(connecting all these seas together as their new patrolling route between west and east of the world)

Generalizing naval Bases like that is a bit absurd! Countries build various different types of Naval bases based on their own specific needs and requirements. And the U.S. is already constructing a new Naval base in Oman near Duqm (+500km from Iranian Soil) so by no means is the need for naval bases decreasing and very clearly the U.S. plans on building a Naval base that they can better defend in case of a conflict with Iran in Oman.

In terms of Iran's needs we are clearly short and we need 1 major Naval base near Chabahar for Iran's Navy and yes the Base is there but it clearly requires a major expansion of the Konarak Naval Base and increase of Air Assets at Konarak Airbase.

Iran's Jask Naval base and Airport also require further expansion and there are also a lot of empty areas between Busher and Bandar Abbas and between Jask and Chabahar that require smaller Naval bases equipped with missile boats, patrol boats & FAC and ability to refuel and provide some support to larger ships

For the first time, the type of anti ship missiles which Hezbollah used back in 2006 discussed.
Though indirectly and through calling them as Israeli findings:
first one was Korean made Silkworm (range extended by Iran to 120km) and the second one was Kowsar.
