Did you know Hezbollah shot down one and only Israeli Cobra casualty in 2008 using the same ATGM?

Folks, the missile demonstrated in the article is another missile called "Nasr" which is an air launched anti-ship cruise missile. The actual missile tested was from surface and it is called "Nasir". There are no visual information of this missiles yet.

That's why I confuse, what showed in the picture was anti-ship missile not cruise missile.

Iran confirms successful marine cruise missile launch Nasir

TEHRAN – Iran has successfully test-fired its newest marine cruise missile in ongoing naval exercises in southern waters of the Persian Gulf, Defense Minister Hossein Dehqan said on Monday.

“The newest marine missile cruise, dubbed ‘Nasir’, was launched and hit the target successfully during the massive military drill in the country’s southern waters,” Dehqan was quoted as saying.

Sorry for the wrong name but that is how RT reported.

Why Iran is after Pakistani missile name? Just a question and it will give all other doubts to whom what they are talking about?

There is a difference between Nasir and nasr. Read it one more time and this time slowly please.

Title was Nasr not Nasir and plus I don't have any kind of reading problem. Check title and it is still nasr

There is also a nasr missile and the nasr missile is older than the Pakistani nasr missile. Also the name isn't Pakistani.

ALCON,

Not sure if anyone noticed, but that missile in the video is NOT the "same old" Nasr AshM, it's something I at least least, have never seen before.

Here are the things I'm seeing:
- It has a small intake along the bottom, similar to that mounted on the C-802 but on a smaller missile. This means it's powered by a new, likely micro-jet engine.
- Booster motor is a totally new design. It's similar in concept to those used by China's C-602 and C-705 missiles.
- Given it's apparently dimensions and appearance, it definitely looks descended from the original C-704/Nasr design.

Essentially, we're seeing a turbojet-powered development of the C-704/Nasr. This also explains the need for a new booster design, since they couldn't simply mate the C-802/Noor booster design to the dimensionally smaller Nasr.

China did something similar when they designed the C-705. They started off with the C-704 and applied many of the technologies they developed for the large C-602 missile (planar wing design, new solid booster). Iranian engineers were apparently given the same task to perform.

The swap out of the original solid-fuel rocket motor to a small turbojet engine will likely mean a big increase in range, perhaps >100km (compared to the C-704/Nasr 35km).

Effectively, you get an AshM with similar range to the C-802 with a somewhat smaller warhead and in a more compact design.

new missile can be fired from small platform such fast boats .... now , American admiral should be worry about cruise missile rather than Katyusha like rockets ...
