Iranian Zulfiqar missile revealed

Interesting concept... Tactical ballistic missile with multiple warheads. Better than Iskander...

Any live demo planned ? Some refinery in distant deserts ? ;)

These ones are MRV not MIRV all the 3 projectile are meant to go towards a single target the reason for this is to reduce interception upon final stage and also increasing destructive power by repeated pounding of a single area!!!

Iran also has a cluster version that spreads to 10-15 projectile to destroy softer targets over a wider area

And Iran shouldn't show a video of it because you don't want your enemy to know at approximately what altitude they disperse because then they can devise a defense for it and they'll attempt interception prior to separation.....

they are only for show not for live demo :p:

Are you guys still crying about Iran's increasing relations with India??? Stop crying we're not going to ignore you in fact our Navy is over there today showing support!!! Or is it that the 2 Pakistani Terrorists we arrested yesterday were your friends????

@ raptor 22:

->Why did they unveil it after 3 years?

Soumar missile was, afaik, also unveiled earlier than planned, the reason was political, i think it was an "answer" to an threat from Saudi arabia, so unveiling of Zulfaiqar could be politically motivated, maybe also a warning againt USA/Israel.

Also please dont forget the missile was produced 3 years ago, this means it was massproduced at least from 1392
we dont know when project itself started (R&D....)



-> We live in Iran and have our own calendar , right now it's 1395 .... so at most it's been 3 years ...

thanks, already registred :)


->So what makes Iskandar so special? low CEP , solid fuel or specific type of warhead?

maybe the "path" it flies to its destination
it is not flying an "calculated" ballistic route, it flies "zick zack", an mathematically unpredictable route to its destination, it means no air defence can shoot it down afaik

Zolfaghar production lines officially goes into operation this week.... The Missile has been around for longer... It's going from serial production to mass production and Iran's defense minister will inaugurate the production line this week

Why do you think the Soumar Missile was released earlier than planned?

easy . because we have much much much superior systems and these system are no longer has any importance to us

he is Indian and was Indian Naval officer . he never worked for Iran or never passed Iran any information . so i don't know what you talkin about
but if you mean your monkey is with us i understand .

we had some latest catch

he was operating from chahbahar .

Pinpoint accuracy and its evasive maneuver capacity in the terminal phase. It was Russian's solution to surgical precision attacks. US still likes to use its fighter/bombers for this purpose putting the pilot and aircraft at risk in a war against a strong opponent. Russia, will just fire those missiles and achieve the same results and due to its high maneuverability during the terminal phase, they say, no one can intercept it.
Thanks a lot ...I think Americans have no technological barrier to make one but as you said they enjoy long range strategic bombers besides tactical nuclear weapons which has no problem with friendly forces in proximity ....
What about Zolfaqar ? is any information available on its maneuverability during the terminal phase? in comparsion with Iskandar ...

You mean Emad?
 
.
@VEVAK cluster warhead of shahab missiles have around 500 bomblet why you believe this one have around10-15 bomblet?
 
.
You mean Emad?
of course not . what is Emad ??
after leader gave the order to bring up to date all old obsolete equipments .the missile construction teams and designers made this upgrade on propellent and warhead for obsolete missile like Shahab 1 and 2 and 3 and Sejil 1 or 2 .
so Emad is upgrad only nothing important

he was operating from chahbahar .
Rigi and His brother they used to operate from Pakistan .

+ he did not operate from Chabahar . he has business visa from India and Dubai and Iran only issued business visa for him .
so he never operated from Chabahar he didn't have his headquarters or opration room in Chabahar . if your government show his passport fully you see his been all over place in persion gulf countries . he entered Pakistan Legally by using his passport true Pakistani border .
so he did not cross illegally from Iran to Pakistan and there is no headquarters or opration room in Chabahar . and Iran issues business visa for Pakistani businessman as well .

you got no case, your establishment just want to use it as propaganda piece

Have not seen anything about Zolfaqar abilities yet to help me infer anything about its maneuverability. But still the fact that it is carried in bundles of 2 and probably can attack both within short period can overwhelm the receiving party defenses.

I see no reason at all why Zulfiqar could not also deploy evasive manoeuvring in its flights.

I think the main power of Iran in defeating missile defence is simply the sheer number of missile Iran posses. All it takes is one missile hitting a power plant or oil facility in Persian gulf states and they're in a mess. But add to that the fact they are firing in bundles, have cluster/bomb-let warheads and certainly use evasive manoeuvring, I doubt any missile defence in these nations would stand a chance even without a saturation attack from Iran.

I was talking about Fatteh class (Zelzal e boreshi)

This is the MRV version of the Fatteh class

No 1st targets to go with our precision guided missiles like the Fatteh class missiles is their Air Defense systems, Radars, Naval & Air Bases!!! And we will overwhelm in numbers....

This will be their main mission for the most accurate missiles!!

Once that is done less accurate and cheaper Iranian missiles will go after soft targets with cluster warheads like their Oil facilities, Power plants, etc.

And Iran's Air Force will have to go after bunkers and carpet bombing of factories within their reach

In terms of Solid fueled missiles Zolfaghar is nothing compared to the Sejil-2
