Guys looking at anza mkII i have a question what happened about anza mkIII ?
Bro. I was also asking same question since 3 years or more. But I am sure its operational and might have been exported to other Muslim countries along with new Baktar Shikan that is more like Javelin.....
 
You won't hear about it unless it is fully operational for some time, unless some overenthusiastic idiot posts non security cleared pics on the net

Sir we have not yet developed a Naval Version if we would had we would have already told @Aeronaut
 
are your sure about the coastal Batteries ? What is a coastal Batterie for you ?

Do you mean missiles mounted on trucks ?

or missiles in prepared Bunkers under the earth ?

I think this this missiles are only for our Fast attack craft Azmat, Jalalat II class,Jurrat class and the F-22 P Frigates.

It could be the export version of the following:

It was C-802.

News reports indicate that this was the missile used on July 14, 2006, in the 2006 Lebanon War when Hezbollah fired two C-802 at Israeli warships. One missile hit the corvette INS Hanit, causing significant damage and four fatalities. Iran, the reported supplier of the missile to Hezbollah, refused to formally confirm or deny the claim. The Hanit suffered severe damage, but stayed afloat, got itself out of the line of fire, and made the rest of the journey back to Ashdod for repairs on its own.

The Israeli ship possessed sophisticated multi-layered missile defense capability: a Phalanx CIWS gun, Barak 1 anti-missile missiles, Chaff and ECM. These should have been able to prevent an anti-ship missile attack such as the YJ-82, but according to the Israeli military, these were intentionally disabled at the time of the alleged missile hit due to:
  • a lack of intelligence indicating Hezbollah possessed such a missile; and
  • the presence of many Israeli Air Force aircraft conducting operations in the vicinity of the ship which might have accidentally set off the ship's anti-missile/aerial threats system, with the danger of shooting down a friendly aircraft. However, the ship has an (optionally installed, especially during wartime) Identification friend or foe interrogator system to prevent attacking friendly aircraft.
Or the "myth of invincibility," had to be maintained at all cost. Hint of Incompetence, or systems being overrated would be disastrous.
 
It seems like that the warhead uses kinetic energy to penetrate the hull and then explode.
Don't know about any top attack profile for AShMs, I guess it would only expose them more to ship-based counter measures (CIWS).

Brother, what would you say about the trajectories of the Hypersonic (actually mostly high-supersonic) AntiShipMissiles? My understanding was that they followed near-ballistic trajectories so that they would have the highest velocities and kinetic-energies when they attack from height. Nice discussion of them at The Strategist:

"...The effect on the target is due to both the explosive power of the weapon plus the energy it brings to the collision. The Harpoon relies heavily on its warhead for effect while the hypersonic weapon delivers a similar amount of energy, but entirely KE...


A related concern is that even successfully hitting an incoming weapon mightn’t be enough if it’s close enough to the ship. The effectiveness of the Phalanx gun (a ‘last ditch’ close range rapid fire system for when other defences fail) has been questioned on the grounds that the debris from the missile will continue on its inbound course and hit the ship anyway. Breaking up a hypersonic projectile could have the same effect—the pieces will still carry most of the kinetic energy of the whole..."

Can you list any hypersonic AShM missiles that have been deployed?
