Iran mass delivery "Nasir" anti ship cruise missile to IRGCN تحویل انبوهی موشک‌های کروز نصیر به سپاه

What's the difference between this ant the Nasr missile?

 

[eagle2007]

Arminkh,

1) This Nasir has a small turbojet engine as the "cruise" propulsion, replacing the original solid-fuel rocket motor.
2) Because of the new propulsion system, a solid-fuel booster was necessary to get the missile airborne in the first place.
3) Because of both previous points, there is a good chance the range of the missile has been increased by a factor of 3 (~100km), though we're waiting on official statements to confirm.

The result is something akin to a scaled down C-802, with similar range and a somewhat smaller warhead. This means it carries a smaller footprint in terms of deck space and allows relatively small vessels to have OTH strike ability (they would still need a third-party source to "see" the target over the horizon first, such as a UAV or maritime patrol bird).

So, it's kind of a big deal.

Most probably a telescopic system used with the gun beside. Gunner mans the gun, a gunnery NCO uses it to visually spot target, direct fire & confirms hit or delivers correction. Much like a sniper & his spotter. It can also be used to deliver visual information to weapons officer & commander of the ship.

Iran Admiral Sayari: new warships, submarines امیر دریادار سیاری: ناو های جدید و زیردریایی

 

[VEVAK]

Google Earth captures New Iranian Sub as it's being deployed in March!

~150 Ft long & ~ 15 Ft wide!

I hope all Gadir Sub facilities are converted to produce this new Sub and Iran produces it in large numbers!

Which facility is the image from?

Which facility is the image from?

Same facility where all new subs are created from!

 

[VEVAK]

It is fateh? dimensions suggest it.

I want news on Besat...

I believe this new version of the Fatteh is about ~15-20 ft longer

 

[AmirPatriot]

Same facility where all new subs are created from!

And exactly where is that? Name of facility/city or coordinates please.

 

[Arminkh]

Sadly our naval programs have been delayed so much. Fateh was delayed given it going back in design to fix its issues. If it was done right, it should have been ready years ago and today, we should have been talking about besat.

This is Iran's first experience with a domestic sub of this size. From tests to operations manuals to training of the crew. Everything is being done for the first time. It will take much longer than usual projects.

 

[Arminkh]

They should have avoided the whole " will unveil soon" for like 5 years straights...

I agree.

Just like Iran's fighter program where they want to keep on using cheaper materials for the Airframe Iran wanted to use cheaper & lighter materials for the Haul of it's fatteh class and it didn't turn out so good it seems! And the Question remain, if you are forced to use more expensive materials due to size then why stop at 150 ft x 15 ft you might as well make it a bit bigger ~200ft x 20ft (Like the Dolphin Class) allowing it to carry more weapons with greater capability and that's a class (size) Iran can stick with and produce for decades

Iran should start Ghadir Class subs production in the Caspian Sea

After years at least this year Iran will finally add 1 Frigate, 1 Sub & 1 Fast Attack Craft to it's fleet in the Persian Gulf. Hopefully Shiraz Frigate will be ready by next year BUT Iran has yet to start construction of a new hall either for the Mowj Class or something bigger which is very disappointing!

Also, one of Iran's corvettes has been out of the water for ~7 months now and they still haven't finished repairs & upgrades!
