Iran has successfully tested nuclear-capable Soumar cruise missile

[Arminkh]

Seems Ballistic Missile is it ? more details would be appreciated if you have any



I really Wished that Pakistan-Iran-Turkey to create a Joint Alliance , we can send our forces to get trained by each other , Full scale War exercises and Air Defense Shields .. together all three Countries can unite an army of around 300,000 and more and control strategic Sea lanes .. we just have to sit and talk and dissolve our issues .Pakistan and Turkey are two strong countries and with Iranians Modernizing their Military i am seeing a huge Turn over for Iran , Su-30/35's , more S-300 or s-400 for their Air defense , T-90's and more Frigates, Destroyers and Subs ..

That was in works before Iran Revolution in the face of USSR threat. Now, each country has its own agenda

US is trying to get Iran to negotiate a JCPOA version for our Missile Program!
Any Iranian politician that even hint towards negotiating about Iran's missile program in any way should be SHOT!

Easy Mate. Iran claims to be a true democracy and in democracy every idiot should have the right to speak without fearing of getting shot. It's up to people to cut through the crap and choose the right person make the decision.

But I agree. Iran's deterrence should not be up to negotiation.

Iran stated it had a range of 600 km..

Iran stated it had a range of 600 km..

That as a short range ballistic missile. This one is cruise

It has tested the cruise missile to a 600 km range.. it does not mean that it is the maximum range, that depends on the engine.. if the Iranian engine is equivalent to the KH-55 original engine, then it can have a range of 2000 to 3000 km..

Yea maybe getting shot is a step too far but Iran's media needs to do a better job at pointing out the facts to the people!
Saddam was bad & Iranians didn't like him but he was NOT a threat! He allowed UN inspectors to go & inspect all his military facilities & missile stockpiles! And the U.S. had full control of Iraqi airspace and bombed Iraq every other year for over 12 years & that was still not enough for them and they invaded!
Qaddaffi tried to cooperate with them, he handed them all his missiles & WMD's he had and still that was not enough for them!
This is NOT about Iran not having Nukes, Iran not having missiles or even Iran's support for Hezbollah! This is about U.S. having control over the world energy supply & shipping routs

Iran stated it had a range of 600 km..

When did Iran claim that??????????? Iran's Ya Ali Cruise Missile has a range of 700km
Iran's Soumar has a max range of 2000km

Hitting target 600km away doesn't make it the maximum range of the missiles! This is not a ballistic missile You don't know at what altitude the missile was flying at or what path it took just that it hit it's target that was 600km away!
Iran's Karrar 1 with a far less sophisticated engine can fly for 1000km & the engine can be reused! so reverse engineering the KH-55 engine would have been the easy part! The hard part is image & terrain counter mapping because that is by far the most complicated part in developing a cruise missile!

Iran build various mini jet engines

Iran Long-Range "Soumar" Land attack cruise missile fired from land based launcherموشك كروز سومار

From video it seems launch vertically like tomahawk.

reverse engineered?

when did Iran ever did this ??

Wasn't Soumar tested years ago?

On 2015 a long-range cruise missile was revealed under the name "Soumar". The design closely resembles the Kh-55 that Iran acquired from Ukraine in 2001. Because of the similarities media guess a range between 2000 and 3000 km for it.

i think you misunderstood . when did it ever any official said that the range is 600 KM ?? that's what i meant . please don't make things up . the range of missile is still classified and i can show you the range is more the n 2500 KM .
so i dont understant where you got 600 KM from

The range of the latest BM was also higher than what it was tested for, the same again, 600 km before it exploded. some test are done only to validate the design..
And why are you sticking to that, I told you many times that it was the range of the test not the actual full range of the missile, do you understand that?

 

[AmirPatriot]

600 km before it exploded

*600 miles, 1000 km.

 

[The SC]

*600 miles, 1000 km.

The US media says 600 km, but if it was miles then for sure it is around1000 km..

 

[AmirPatriot]

The US media says 600 km, but if it was miles then for sure it is around1000 km..

I was confused. It is the Soumar which was apparently tested - according to "unspecified intelligence sources" talking to a German newspaper - at 600 km. The recent ballistic missile test was 600 miles.

But the Soumar is derived from the Kh-55 and the version which Iran got from Ukraine had a 2500 km range.

Soumar can now reach Israel, easily. Given that we have access to Iraqi, Syrian and Golans terrain, and our drones are operating deep inside Israel, we can bomb all of Israeli buildings, radar stations, air bases, naval bases, ports and airports with hundreds of Soumar cruise missiles.
