Just a small point..IMO Fakour is out dated heavy missiles .... its capabilitay can't be compared to modern BVR long range missiles ... at best Fakour just a replace for our F14 lost fangs ( Phoneix missiles ) ....
if Phoneix was that damn Overpowered and awesome , USA wouldn't retired it ....
in contrast to most of Iranian members who think USA and their military decision maker are idiots , I have respect for them and I think they have some valid reason to retired both F14 and Phonix missiles ...
USA and their military decision maker are corrupt to the core. The real decision makers for the US military armaments needs work in companies like Lockheed Martin, TRW ,General Dynamics, etc.. active US military and Defence department officials all end up as the employees of these companies with very high salaries for the sole purpose of writing the requirements for the new weapon system and using their contacts (e.g. retiring perfectly good weapon systems so that more contracts can be awarded to these companies.. that is why they need $700 billion dollar defence budget ). Retirement of F-14 or the Phonix missile is in that category. Corruption is so wide spread that in the case of F-35 after spending $200 billion dollar development $$$s they are now admitting that this aircraft is not combat worthy!!!. This story is being repeated on the new aircraft carriers and so on..(a look at Russian planning strategies or the Iranian planning strategies tells you how smart thinkers plan!). By the way US ordered the destruction all existing F-14s for the fear of Iran (the only other operator of F-14) getting their hands on their part.... (what a waste of US tax payers money ).Sorry I went off topic!.
