You didn't hurt anything, I just presented facts to anyone who was saying that Iran just took the HK-RK-55's 60', 70' technologies and added a boaster to it to have this new CM.First of all, we all know how that German missile (and aircraft, as well as jet engine) technology was acquiered and used by all major Allies (including Russia). Moreover, no one denies that.
Second, Himars/AtACMs is not a V2 clone in any way. Current ATACMS is not the direct result of the US getting V2 in 1945. There is no design or direct technological relation. It is a silly and flawed comparison. Had you said e.g. PGM-11 Redstone there would have been some reason to compare. But that is by far less of a V2 clone as e.g. the Russian R-1 (NATO: SS-1 Scunner, Soviet code name SA11) .

4,910 kg (10,820 lb) liquid oxygen
Operational range 320 km (200 mi)
Flight altitude 88 km (55 mi) maximum altitude on long range trajectory,
206 km (128 mi) maximum altitude if launched vertically.
Speed

at impact: 2,880 km/h (1,790 mph)
ATACMS
Weight 1,670 kilograms (3,690 lb)
Length 4.0 metres (13 ft)
Diameter 610 millimetres (24 in
Propellant: solid propellant
Maximum firing range 300 km
Wingspan 1,400 millimetres (55 in)
Flight ceiling 48 kilometres (30 mi)
3. We know Iran got those (a certain model/type) cruise missiles from abroad
4. All we can see it that a booster has been added: we can't look inside the missile, or the Iranian production facility.
So, based on what can be verified, that's where conclusion ends.
I apologize if I hurt your ego and/or national pride..
What facts exactly are those (since you only posted a pic of the highly dissimilar V2 and ATACS )? What - if anything - has Iran added/changed on the KH65, booster aside?You didn't hurt anything, I just presented facts to anyone who was saying that Iran just took the HK-RK-55's 60', 70' technologies and added a boaster to it to have this new CM.

ATAMS and V2 do not look the same. There is a huge difference in size, for starters.They look the same too!
You just said in a post above that no one knows what 's inside the Iranian Soumar CM, why are you contradicting yourself?
lol. So I was right after all. The boat is being piloted by a suicide commando who jumps off if he can after setting its course.
I wonder the person who gave this a go. What a mastermind he must be
What do you guys think about this tactic?
I'm wondering if he gets picked up after, since you know, he jumps into what is still an active war zone. Also interesting is why they didn't go for automated or unmanned boats, it surely can not be a question of cost!
Not at all , we are already producing remote controlled FLIR-guided suicide boats .Yeah, apparently installing a remote controller is harder than building a 5th gen fighter.
when was the last time an Iranian blew himself up ?Not a big deal though since there are millions of people in Iran who would gladly steer the boat to their glorious death.
not before your countrymen go flying towards heaven . bunch of terrorists .
Time to issue infractions buddy @Serpentine
And How many people died in Iraq like sitting ducks?Yeah, apparently installing a remote controller is harder than building a 5th gen fighter. Not a big deal though since there are millions of people in Iran who would gladly steer the boat to their glorious death.
I wonder if something like this exist in any other military...
