Interesting concept... Tactical ballistic missile with multiple warheads. Better than Iskander...
Any live demo planned ? Some refinery in distant deserts ?
These ones are MRV not MIRV all the 3 projectile are meant to go towards a single target the reason for this is to reduce interception upon final stage and also increasing destructive power by repeated pounding of a single area!!!
Iran also has a cluster version that spreads to 10-15 projectile to destroy softer targets over a wider area
And Iran shouldn't show a video of it because you don't want your enemy to know at approximately what altitude they disperse because then they can devise a defense for it and they'll attempt interception prior to separation.....
they are only for show not for live demo
Are you guys still crying about Iran's increasing relations with India??? Stop crying we're not going to ignore you in fact our Navy is over there today showing support!!! Or is it that the 2 Pakistani Terrorists we arrested yesterday were your friends????
@ raptor 22:
->Why did they unveil it after 3 years?
Soumar missile was, afaik, also unveiled earlier than planned, the reason was political, i think it was an "answer" to an threat from Saudi arabia, so unveiling of Zulfaiqar could be politically motivated, maybe also a warning againt USA/Israel.
Also please dont forget the missile was produced 3 years ago, this means it was massproduced at least from 1392
we dont know when project itself started (R&D....)
-> We live in Iran and have our own calendar , right now it's 1395 .... so at most it's been 3 years ...
thanks, already registred
->So what makes Iskandar so special? low CEP , solid fuel or specific type of warhead?
maybe the "path" it flies to its destination
it is not flying an "calculated" ballistic route, it flies "zick zack", an mathematically unpredictable route to its destination, it means no air defence can shoot it down afaik
Zolfaghar production lines officially goes into operation this week.... The Missile has been around for longer... It's going from serial production to mass production and Iran's defense minister will inaugurate the production line this week
Why do you think the Soumar Missile was released earlier than planned?
