WOW!!For those on this board naive enough to believe Iran can build 5th gen fighter all by itself.
This is mock-ups Sukhoi was doing in 1980’s on 5th gen design
You mean something a bit like this......guys is it only me or you want to see this missile:
loaded on this plane too:
or as a replacement for old sejjils:

well i also believe that the shalamcheh-2 missile is the same rocket engine of MIM-23 with mersad/upgraded mersad avionics and new controlling surfaces. the interesting part is Iranian modified AIM-23 sejjil had almost 55 km range while our hawks had models had 35 km range, considering that MOD promised that new shalamcheh missile will have 60 km range by doing some math air launched shalamcheh will have 90 km range. (it's not scientifically true but if you compare air launched vs ground launched missile you will notice they have twice the max range compared to SAM versions, in sum air launched missiles have more range i maybe wrong about shalamcheh range but surely it will be more than 70 k).You mean something a bit like this......
The us Seekbat,tho interestingly this was supposedly based on the AGM-78 which was an arm,not the RIM66 sam.
Iran did play around with the rim66 back in the 80s[?] both as a land based sam and an a2a weapon,but without much success evidently.
However I`m inclined to agree with Amir that the kamin/mersad sam is actually hawk air frame based not rim66 based,so it would be longer and slightly lighter than the rim66.

also about the RIM-66 missiles, i red an article not long time ago. they said Iran first employed those missiles to it's phantom fleet to hunt down Iraqi mig-25s but it was not successful but the interesting part is according to that article IRIAF tested those RIMs as anti ship missiles and in couple of tests it did hit it's target.
not strange , in praying mantis it was RIM-66 and AGM-123 that sank our ships , the harpoons on both side missed their target . and that's one of the reason why we never tried to reverse engineer or do anything with harpoon, even in Morvarid operation we didn't have good experience from Harpoonwell i also believe that the shalamcheh-2 missile is the same rocket engine of MIM-23 with mersad/upgraded mersad avionics and new controlling surfaces. the interesting part is Iranian modified AIM-23 sejjil had almost 55 km range while our hawks had models had 35 km range, considering that MOD promised that new shalamcheh missile will have 60 km range by doing some math air launched shalamcheh will have 90 km range.

But there is no point in investing on new shalamche as we have talash air defence......well i also believe that the shalamcheh-2 missile is the same rocket engine of MIM-23 with mersad/upgraded mersad avionics and new controlling surfaces. the interesting part is Iranian modified AIM-23 sejjil had almost 55 km range while our hawks had models had 35 km range, considering that MOD promised that new shalamcheh missile will have 60 km range by doing some math air launched shalamcheh will have 90 km range.

well i'm not an expert but mersad has a radar specified for targeting low flying objects. and about shalamcheh-2 missile, you know i am kinda into it. if it's range can be some thing near 90 km (as an AIM) with the same 75 kg warhead, i would like to see an f-18 dodging it.But there is no point in investing on new shalamche as we have talash air defence......
