This is the problem with the west and its approach to North Korea. Always under estimate and then get shock after shock as NK hits milestones which the west thinks it cannot ever hit. I remember the days when they used to say NK would never have a ICBM, how did that turn out? They have...
LOL. You meant roar with laughter right? That pea shooter called safir that works 40% of the time and joke SLV Simorgh that excels at deploying satelites to the bottom of the indian ocean aint making nobody "squeal". If anything Iranian economy will be "squealing" big time in coming years when...
The Unha only had 4 launches of which 2 were successful and 2 were not, im not sure what 8 failures you are referring to. The pukguksong series of missiles has not had a failure since 2015 and since then not a single pukguksong series missile has failed. I wont deny that North Korea's...
You can blame Rouhani and his moderates all you want but the fact is under his government there was at least some progress on irans space program. It is not as though space program was frozen for 8 years.
Iranian space program under Rouhani admin:
- Successful launch of Fajr in February 2015...
ISA is no doubt a world class space agency which has never failed a launch in history:-). All Safir and Simorgh launches are successful and all reports of failure are western propaganda! :rofl:
The below picture of safir failing before launch must be fake! It must be because ISA is perfect!
Simorgh falls short of orbit
Launch confirmed as FAILURE. 4th failure in a row for Simorgh SLV.
Iran should seek help from north korea to get simorgh working. They have flown a more advanced version of this same rocket (Unha-3) twice successfully 10 years ago! Liquid fuel is not irans strong...
I will believe it when the satellites are tracked in orbit. So far nothing has entered orbit. Chances are the payloads are laying at the bottom of the indian ocean right now instead of in orbit.
Launch highly likely failed. Final velocity achieved by Simorgh was only 7.35 km/s. For 470km circular LEO at least 7.65 km/s of injection velocity is needed.
Not to nitpick but Simorgh cannot launch anywhere near 350kg in its current config. Even with kick stage maximum payload capability is...
Very arrogant thing to say given recent history. With the way that things currently stand north korea is indeed superior to iran in most areas of missile/nulcear and space technology.
Nuclear tech:
NK: Several operation nuclear reactors and a functional 280 kiloton nuclear warhead tested in...
Mao was not a perfect leader but he was far from 'bad'. China would not be a superpower or even exist in its current form if it were not for the ~25 years of Maoist rule which built a strong foundation needed for china to succeed in the 21st century.
Both are canceled projects. DRDO chief has publicly said they have no plans to build missile with more than 5000 km range in order to avoid sanctions from west.
Surya is the sun deity in hinduism and agni means "fire" in sanskrit
Good job NK on developing powerful ICBM Hwasong-16 under such difficult circumstances. Compared to NK indian missile force is a joke with high failure rate and joke "icbm" agni-v with only 33% of the range of a hwasong-16. 2.8 trillion indian economy is getting beat by a $28 billion backwards...
Rahul Gandhi will become PM at next election. Not because he is suited for the role but because the only alternative will be another 5 years of BJP which to many is simply not acceptable.
