What is the role of this missile?Hezbollah confirmed to be in possession of Iranian 358 loitering SAM
Air defence.What is the role of this missile?
It is a mobile, man-portable and cheap loitering surface to aim missile that can effectively target UAVs.What is the role of this missile?
What is its loiter time?loiter time
Classified, likely hours.What is its loiter time?
Given the aerodynamics and size the median or average loitering time envelope can be predicted. OTOH logistical and theater availability vectors are classified.What is its loiter time?
to make air unsafe for everybody , you fire it , it search in an eight pat tern and if it found anything it attack it , i doubt it can discern between friendly or enemy target .What is the role of this missile?
not that much something like 15-20min which is a lot more your usual manpads that only operate in seconds to 1 minIt can loiter over a certain area for hours and wait for a suitable target
nor F-14 neither F-4 are able to launch such heavy and big missileHopefully F-4/SU-24/F-14 etc have been integrated with an air-launched version of the ASBM Raad-500, would effectively boost the range significantly.
Of course they cannor F-14 neither F-4 are able to launch such heavy and big missile
Too bad Iran didn't bought MiG-31 and Tu bombers at the time, it would have been perfect for itInteresting we see anti-ship version of Raad-500 SRBM (500km) in Houthi service before we see it in Iranian service
Raad-500 is one of Iran's most advanced missiles, this is surprising (albeit less surprising since we have also seen Iran's Ghadr-F MRBM and Kheybar Shekan in Yemen).
Hopefully F-4/SU-24/F-14 etc have been integrated with an air-launched version of the ASBM Raad-500, would effectively boost the range significantly.
it need two central Pylon to carry it as its pylon only rated for MK-84Of course they can
F-14 needs new central pylon but it absolutely can carry a 1800kg missile (air-launched variant can be made even lighter since it will need less fuel). That is just 2x Mk-84 bombs.
F-16s can carry almost double that mass of bombs
