I am really wondering which missiles will iran fit on the ship. It's current cruise missiles will need a redesign for them to be launched by a VLS. It's because of the engine underneath the cruise missiles, which would require more room to carry and that means less missiles can be equipped.
I was thinking of the Noor or Qader missiles and whether it's possible to use them in such a system. If the missiles have an algorithm that allows them to attack land based targets then they are not a very bad option although they are smaller in diameter and have much less range.
There is the Quds 1 cruise missile which the Houthis use, which has a range of approximately 600km. The missiles diameter is estimated at 34cm, and the engine is 27cm. It's much smaller than bigger missiles like the Soumar which has a diameter of 54cm. So if iran can alter its design and change the position of the engine so that its behind the missile and that has 1 or 2 air inlets similar to the Noor missile, then it's a very good option to carry on the ship.
The Ya Ali missile isnt bad either if a similar change is done to the engine, but its heavier and thicker, so it will take more space.
Also what about ballistic missiles? Does anyone think they can be fitted on the ship? I think the Raad 500 isnt a bad option if iran is really after ballistic missiles on its ships, as it's made out of composite materials and is much lighter.
Also regarding air defence missiles, I think that the ship will be equipped with a mix of Sayyad 2/3 missiles with TVC for the medium to long range coverage and the iranian Oghab system for the short range coverage.
