Iranian Zulfiqar missile revealed

[Rukarl]

True. They can use it as some kind of highly accurate and long range artillery. It may even cover Syrian operation around Aleppo!

What better way to showoff this new missile than having it pound a few target in Syria!

 

[yavar]

The warhead is 500kg. .

if you asking my opinion . then i can tell you that the warhead is about 750 KG .
this is real upgrade and this one is most deadly in Fateh Family .

the destructive power this one has is almost as much as much as medium range ballistic missiles class or 9K720 Iskander

Its range is much more than Iskandar, right? Isn't Iskandar's range 500km?
This missile is also much cheaper for Iran to produce than Iskandar is for Russia.

@Arminkh

With 750km range, it seems this missile now easily can wipe out a good chunk of Persian gulf states' strategic sites. These missiles can be produced in vast numbers too.

In a span of one year, they went from the 500km fateh-313 to this one. If they keep it up, soon the Fateh family can even reach the zionist state!

Can anyone post a map showing how much 750km can cover? Cheers.

We can as a test run but I don't think we should! It will have to fly over Iraq and I'd rather not have the U.S. examine how the missile functions and devise a counter...

If they examine it's trajectory that will help them identify the missile using their radars quicker which will help them identify the target and devise a counter to it!

Plus each of these missiles cost over $500,000 USD!!!

Iran should be testing out it's Bina and Basir systems and develop newer missiles for the Shahed-129....

We should also be working on developing Dense Inert Metal Explosives

As much as I would love to see Iranian missiles wipe some ISIS´s asses, this will only lead to conclusion that Iran is directly operating in the syrian civil war, and could lead to some "protests" in the sunni arab world.
Iran is clever and know this is zionists game, "divide and conquer" -> sunni vs shia.
Iran must play cards under the radar
Again, I would love to see Fateh missiles roasting some terrorists asses, but its not neccesarry, not YET!
Russia is there as the big player firing Kalibr missiles

yesterday a commandpost with 30 british /zionist/saudi/turkey intel agents was totally roasted with 3 kalibr missiles:

So as you see, not necessary yet for Iran to play with bigger guns...

 

[zestokryl]

You reasoning is outrageous ...

USA, SA, Qatar, Turkey throw all they assets and agendas in inciting this war playing among other moves, emphasizing the sectarian "thing" and after all the casualties and Syria ruined, few iranian missiles would make any difference

Fueling the war in Syria is direct proxy war against Iran, but Iran wouldnt deploy missile, not to anger someone, despite the fact all the countries and individuals have taken they sides. If iranian leadership, has this key of overall analysis , Iran is doomed

The Idea is not feasible due to existing UN offensive weapons sanctions on Iran, those missiles are considered defensive! Iran can obviously use them offensively if attacked..

The warhead is likely between 500 Kg just over 1000lb and that is plenty!!! Emad and Sejil have 750kg payloads ballistic missiles hit their target at high velocity so a time delayed version with a hardened tip will put a crater 4 feet in depth on runways

The U.S. SDB only has a 98kg warhead which uses dense metal explosive which it really is, is a dense metal shell packed with explosives and an even more dense and hardened tip. They have two explosives and two very accurate time delayed fuses 1st the craft (SDB) hits the target at 90 degree angle upon initial penetration the 1st fuse goes off allowing the dense metal tip and shell that packed with explosives to penetrate a bunker and then a second later once penetrated the second fuse goes off and the explosive inside shoots the tip like a bullet that can damage or destroy an aircraft and the shell also fragments and kills or injures anyone around it.... It's basically a Gun packed with explosive and the bullet is an extremely hard tip

I think 500kg is plenty I think now that we have better accuracy Iran should extend it's R&D on different payloads

I don't know if this is a 1.5 stage version of the Fatteh but if it's not Iran should be looking towards developing a 1.5 stage versions of the Fatteh class too....

And 1st and for most Iran should develop 5 different underground factories dedicated in mass producing these missiles at a combined rate of 1000 per year and with the Fatteh class because the guidance is placed right before the warhead it can be easily separated and upgraded both in terms of guidance and warhead

So far we have
Blast fragmentation versions
Cluster Versions
MIRV versions
Now we need a more advanced time delayed bunker buster versions (Really not that complicated to make)
We also need a decoy version carrying multiple decoy's to clutter up enemy radars
Also a MIRV version capable of hitting moving targets like tanks would also be nice

Something very important note. Gen Mohsen Rezaei recently said in an Interview that Iran has reduced cost of its missiles by a factor of 10! If you have not seen the interview, I suggest you do:

Thus not only are Iran's missiles getting better but cost of producing them is greatly reduced as well.

I've seen it but didn't catch that part I'll watch again

He starts to say it at around 9 minute mark. He said compared to 4-5 years ago, our missiles are 10x cheaper!

 

[VEVAK]

The accuracy is what matter's if you can put a 1000 lb bomb

can you provide any source? Im very curious about this missile used against a target in the Indian Ocean

http://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13950631000526

Here they make a reference to the event

it say's 1400 km (Not 1500km that my mistake) from northern Iran to the Makran sea (not the Indian ocean that's my mistake he could have said on the edge of the Indian ocean on the video but regardless )

Also this article states Ghadir missile / The Emad uses the same rocket as the Ghadir missiles it just has a more advanced guidance system regardless, it hits the target at sea and in the video according to the Iranian general U.S. Spy planes were monitoring the whole event.

I believe if they hit the target at sea at that rage they likely used the Emad

The Emad guidance system I believe was 1st tested on Iran's Shahab-2 and Iran has also upgraded some of it's Shahab-2 with that guidance system.

He starts to say it at around 9 minute mark. He said compared to 4-5 years ago, our missiles are 10x cheaper!

Yes that's normal

1st due to mass production using industrial equipment & industrial robots rather than manpower
2ndly using domestic super alloys from our own mines to build them rather than importing
3rd also mass production of the materials needed to develop both the solid & liquid fuel using domestic technology


10 years ago we had to even import some of the engine parts and some of the chemicals, aluminum powder.... required in the fuel....But today Iran is basically turning rocks, oil and dirt inside the country into missiles

We can do the same with fighter jet! if we invest in it!

Interesting concept... Tactical ballistic missile with multiple warheads. Better than Iskander...

Any live demo planned ? Some refinery in distant deserts ?

they are only for show not for live demo
