Iran's Ministry of Defense unveils Zolfaghar SRBM production line

Do you some sort of a mental disorder? You think you're going to spot a warhead travelling 5 x the speed sound? You have really slow down the video to see it:

Thanks ... it was damn fast!

@VEVAK it seems you were right. Indeed this missile has a separating warhead with its own engine and can be guided from distance!

You're welcome bro.

You're welcome bro.

This is a beautiful missile! It's a work of art! they redesigned the guidance and flight control system and moved it further back for aerodynamic purposes of the finale stage. The booster's fuel tank is in front of the flight control and guidance system and it feeds a small booster at the end its likely a liquid fuel but it's a small tank you can fill it up in no time at all

This is a master peace that's why we can't call it a Fatteh class anymore! And the great thing is Iran can not only put various types of warheads on it but I believe the warhead could potentially be designed to hit large aircrafts like AWACS at ranges above 500 km by combining the guidance and warhead into an advanced IR seeking missile for terminal guidance

You can feed it data till separation and from separation to target at max your looking at 2 min and a large aircraft with a max speed of 850 km/h and low maneuverability I believe can be targeted because 1. In a matter of 2 min it can't fly beyond range of IRST 2.I believe computing power has reach to a point that an IRST can detect & plan trajectory fast enough to hit a large subsonic low maneuvering aircraft by adding tiny engines or with the use tiny explosive charges for course correction like on the Patriot missiles.

And AWACS & Air refueling aircrafts are high value targets. It will be a very expensive missile but you don't need a lot of them but you'll need to fire 3 at each aircraft for a 100% kill rate
