IRAN’S SOLID-PROPELLANT SLV PROGRAM IS ALIVE AND KICKING

https://www.armscontrolwonk.com/arc...-propellant-slv-program-is-alive-and-kicking/

Based on estimation from the article...based on the weight of concrete blocks...rough thrust estimate of future solid fuel engines that are being developed in Shahroud:View attachment 606224

For comparison:

European rocket -Vega SLV:

payload to LEO 2,5 tons

First stage thrust: 226 tons
Second stage thrust: 87 tons
Third stage thrust: 26 tons
Fourth stage thrust: 0,2 tons

This was an awesome read, thanks for posting!

Anyone got any clues as to what this may be?.The pic dates back to at least early 2013 probably earlier.

Isn’t that a anti-helicopter weapon for mobile units?

The terminal velocity of Sedjil MRBM is stated at 4300 meters per second which is equal to Mach 12.5!!!

Khorramshahr-2 looks mean man. What an absolute beast of a missile, just look at the size of that thing!!!

Sejil is such a beauty, I hope this missile is still there and constantly upgraded
Khorramshahr is a beast, Im curious how the "big mamas" look like


This post is also interesting

if you look at the first clip, the "final phase" of the impact, you see how aggressively the missile is capable of "correcting" its path

google translated:

"New footage from the experiment released shows the maneuvering cap being maneuvered, albeit in the final phase because the lift-to-drag ratio is reduced to a free fall cap, but the clip seems to be capable of maneuvering the warhead so much. Created."

Is he saying that the missiles warhead didnt work (3rd and 4th picture) and thats why so "little" damage was done to this buidling (5m beton) ?

Cant believe it, a missile, only with its kinetic energy (several tons with a speed of Mach ~ 3-4) should have done more demage to 5m beton, right?

Yes that’s what he saying!

It can't be. That could be an old Mark from a small rocket.

Even if we assume the missile warhead only weighs 500 kg coming at Mach 4 the kinematic energy alone is equivalent to 110kg TNT all concentrated at a very small area.

I’m no expert! But, the first pic could be that the missiles potential energy is converted to “dig” A very deep hole into the ground instead of creating a crater.
The second one is a major steel structure that is melted like butter at impact. See below pic

Khoramshahr has a 1800kg warhead!! Imagine if Iran used this missile on the US air base. Instead of concussions, their heads would have come right off!
