Toofan-7 new Iranian anti-armor missile

[Aramagedon]

Iran unveiled two homegrown anti-armor missiles on Wednesday.



The missiles, named Toofan-3M and Toofan-7, were put on display at an exhibition of achievements of the Iranian Armed Forces.

Both missiles are top attack projectiles, which strike armored vehicles from above. They detect the target with electromagnetic and laser sensors from above and detonate their warhead at the top of the target.

Toofan-3M, is a new generation of Toofan-3 missiles, while Toofan-7 is considered the newest homegrown anti-armor missile.

Iranian military technicians have in recent years made great headways in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient in the arms sphere.

Tehran has always assured other nations that its military might poses no threat to regional countries, saying that the Islamic Republic’s defense doctrine is entirely based on deterrence.

Congratulations. Is it something like Javelin?

Toofan-7 is not an Anti-tank Missile. It has a thermobaric warhead designed to destroy fortifications.

Toofan-7

Like the name. Hope it lives upto it.

Can't be anti armor, I don't see any penetrator in there, nor the nose con seems aerodynamically designed to facilitate in air movement.
Unless it was HE only and that would be useless against modern day armor.

The Toofan-3m is a top attack Anti tank missile. Its warhead is actually behind the nose. It does not have a conventional Shaped charged warhead like most ATGMs. Instead it has a down facing Explosively Formed Projectile EFP warhead that detonates above its target and shoots down through the top Armour of its target.

Shape of the ATGM only is good against ERA , its not that important against other things. (to be honest the missile can still defeat ERA it depends all on when the shaped charge inside the missile explode.)
a good example is Brimstone or Eryx or HJ-12, they are very good Anti tank missile and just look at their shape

it work very well in Iraq and Syria for years now. You can see its videos on youtube.

you need a penetrator to penetrate the armor. ERA or no ERA doesn't matter in there.
The pictures in the Op post hardly resembled anything that is supposed to "penetrate" a well armored vehicle.
Unless the only aim is to hunt suicide cars with HE...

so , you don't consider Hj-12 with 1100mm armor penetration as an Anti armor missile. or brimstone one of the best Anti Armor missile as an Anti armor missile.
what you say as a penetrator will penetrate nothing , it just detonate era before shaped charge reach the thank

Dude, once again, I'm saying there seems to be no penetrator involved in the missile that can be seen in the OP post.
There has to be a penetrator that will penetrator the armor after dealing with the ERA right? or is it supposed to spawn out of nowhere and penetrate the tank after the missile has defeated ERA?

Here is what is on the Internet about the missile in question.
"Unclear warhead, perhaps fragmentation thermobaric"

Tell me how is that supposed to penetrate or beat an armored vehicle and not aimed at defeating hardened bunkers instead?

the penetration is done by molten metal formed after explosion of warhead.
just look at HJ-12 do you see any of what you call perpetrator .

The HJ-12 is a modern, third generation anti-tank missile developed by China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO)
The warhead uses a tandem shaped charge design with an estimated penetration capability of up to 1,100 mm (43 in) of rolled homogeneous armour (RHA) after penetrating explosive reactive armor.[2] When facing non-armored point targets

nobody knew about the warhead , the wiki is added by a fanboy not the designers of the missile

I believe War Thunder is referring only to Toofan-7 saying that it is not an Anti tank missile which it is not on the account of it having a thermo baric warhead.

that's not important if toophan 7 can be modification of toophan 4 and 6 . but he's he argue about the shape of the missile instead of the actual warhead.
The shape of the missile is not that important .

Tell me what's a penetrator?
