Iranian Missiles | News and Discussions

Other than for the space program, I don's see Iran expanding on it's liquid fuel missiles. Iran has and wants to continue to have large stockpiles of ballistic missiles & liquid fueled missiles take up twice the space for storage, require more personal, requires more maintenance, upkeep, prep time, larger facilities,....

Iran has such a large stockpile that storage is a problem as is fueling each missiles and prepping them for launch so if anything Iran will gradually move away from Liquid fuel for military use!
Months ago Defence minister said " 3 different kinds of long range missiles , a solid one , new version of sejil which is solid and khoramshahr missile ." (He didn't say 3 solid fueled missiles )
On the other hand some experts have already claimed the recent test was khoramshahr missile.
1000 km for first stage and exploded !( which means 1000 km wasn't full range cuz it still had some fuel to explode ) That is too much for first stage of a SLV .Maybe a GSLV which I would say no .As you know bro , the trajectory of space launchs is different .
You mean they destroyed it in its path to conceal its actual range? Could be maybe that's where all this fuss is coming from.
Nah bro , I didn't mean that .You don't have to test it with full range .No need to explode it .Just put less fuel in it or simply change trajectory .
.In fact this missile ( modified R 27 aka musudan ) is too much unstable .First , Russians sold these to DPRK but sounds like they changed some parts of the missile for some reason .DPRK had tested it 6 times .Just one succesful test , the rest , exploded .One of them on launch pad !
Though I am not 100% sure about the recent test .My 6th sense tells me :smokin:

Having so much news about Iran's space program points to a failed SLV launch!!
which ones ??

2nd stage but had some problems with the 2nd stage during flight either because of one of the engines or loss of control.
and can you tell us how many stage is Khorramshahr missile is ??

I don't know much about the Khorramshahr Missile but my guess is that it would be along the lines of Iran's continued path towards expanding it's Solid Fuel variants so it will defiantly have 1.5 stages or more!

Iran needs something in between the Zolfaghar & Sajil-2 missile for targets between 700km to 1,500km Iran could also build a 3 stage version for greater range if needed

What ever it was it burned upon reentry that's another indication that it was a failed SLV launch. There is NO shame in having failed launches even the most advanced countries in the world have failed launches. You can't have a space program without them.

If Iran has vast access to ballistic missile technology, much more than shown up to ICBM level, then one scenario for the unknown Khorramshahr missile would make it really ground breaking: A solid fuel large diameter (~2m), short length, single stage missile of max. 2000km range and a throwwight of 5 tons delivered by a MIRV with PBV bus (Saman-1 based) and 4, 1ton re-entry vehicles (stealthy ones).
This could maintain Irans 2000km policy due to the single stage, but could crate doubts among europeans and americans, although the single stage would be a credible assurance for the range limitation. The 4 RVs would compensate the increased cost of a solid fuel missile and the PBV and indirectly show Irans high ICBM level capabilities to the world.

However I have the feeling that we are still 5 years away from such a missile and I have doubts whether they think they could credibly convince the west that its just a 2000km range missile (with a single RV it could have IRBM range of 4000-5000km...).
Its a nice thought that the "failed" Khorramshahr at the re entry stage would be due to the release of the stealthy RVs which would look like the single RV has disintegrated in several small parts at re entry.

DUBAI: An Iranian military commander said on Saturday that his country would use its missiles against its enemies if they threaten the country’s security.


"If the enemy does not walk the line, our missiles come down on them," Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace unit, was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.

“We are working day and night to protect Iran’s security. If we see smallest misstep from the enemies, our roaring missiles will fall on their heads,” Hajizadeh was also quoted in another report by Tasnim news agency.

Hajizadeh's comments come during a military exercise by the Revolutionary Guard aimed at testing its missile and radar systems.

The exercise comes a day after US President Donald Trump's administration imposed sanctions on Iran for a recent missile test.

The United States sanctioned 13 individuals and 12 entities related to Iran’s missile program and Trump’s national security adviser Michael Flynn said the United States was putting Iran on notice over its “destabilizing activity.”

The Guards’ Sepahnews website said the maneuvers in the northeastern province of Semnan were aimed at demonstrating their “complete preparedness to deal with the threats” and “humiliating sanctions” from Washington.

“Different types of domestically produced radar and missile systems, command and control centers, and cyber warfare systems will be used in this exercise,” it said.

A list of the missiles to be deployed published later on the website showed they were of very short range — up to 75 kilometers (47 miles).


Although tensions between Washington and Iran have risen, US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Saturday he was not considering raising the number of US forces in the Middle East to address Iran’s “misbehavior” at this time, but warned that the world would not ignore Iranian activities.

Iran has one of the Middle East’s largest missile programs and held a similar exercise in December to showcase its defense systems, including radars, anti-missile defense units, and short and medium-range missiles.

Tehran confirmed on Wednesday that it had test-fired a new ballistic missile, but said the test did not breach the Islamic Republic’s nuclear agreement with world powers or a UN Security Council resolution endorsing the pact.

Iran has test-fired several ballistic missiles since the nuclear deal in 2015, but the latest test was the first since Trump entered the White House. Trump said during his election campaign that he would stop Iran’s missile program.

The United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting on Tuesday and recommended the missile testing be studied at committee level. The new US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, called the test “unacceptable.”

The Security Council resolution was adopted to buttress the deal under which Iran curbed its nuclear activities to allay concerns they could be used to develop atomic bombs, in exchange for relief from economic sanctions.
The resolution urged Tehran to refrain from work on ballistic missiles designed to deliver nuclear weapons. Critics say the resolution’s language does not make this obligatory.

Tehran says it has not carried out any work on missiles specifically designed to carry nuclear payloads.

>>Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) test-fired new missiles in the ongoing air defense drills on Saturday.

The missiles included home-made short-range and medium-range systems, the report said.

The indigenous missile of 3-Khordad, which was test-fired on Saturday, has a range of 75km and can soar to altitudes up to 30 km.

It is capable of engaging in electronic warfare and incorporates the latest cutting-edge technology and scrambling on multiple targets in lower radar cross-section (RCS).

Another tested missile of Tabas has a range of 60 km and soars to the altitude of 30 km. It is designed and manufactured by the IRGC and is highly agile in offensive and defensive positions.

The third one tested was Sayyad-2 missile system which has the same features as Tabas and has been designed by Iranian Ministry of Defense, according to Mehr.

Also, IRGC deployed three radar systems in the drills on Saturday. Ghadir long-range radar system with 3D detecting feature can capture the aerial threats as far as 1100 km away.

Ghadir is capable of detecting stealth drones and other aerial vehicles and can even trace the targets.

Matla'alfajr and Kavosh radar systems are capable of detecting the threats up to 500km and 150km respectively. They can also detect cruise missiles and drones flying in lower altitudes.

"For the first time in its history, the Institute for the Study of War noted in a report last week, Iran has developed the capacity to project conventional military force for hundreds of miles beyond its borders. “This capability, which very few states in the world have, will fundamentally alter the strategic calculus and balance of power within the Middle East,” the institute said.
