Toofan-7 new Iranian anti-armor missile

that's not important if toophan 7 can be modification of toophan 4 and 6 . but he's he argue about the shape of the missile instead of the actual warhead.
The shape of the missile is not that important .


Tell me what's a penetrator?
well then i guess he is confused that the tandem warhead prod is some kind of "perpetrator"
 
Penatator is what burns through the metal of the tank to reach the crew.

Since a top attack missile is attacking an area with limited armour thickness (top of the tank) and EFP charge will be highly deadly as it injects a molten formed projectile straight through the armour and vaporizes the tank crew with molten metal.

That is your “penetrator”.

If you doubt it’s effectiveness then go look at Iraq where IED EFPs ripped abrams and apcs.

One of these,great slo mo vid of it in action
and heres an animation of one being formed

Dude, once again, I'm saying there seems to be no penetrator involved in the missile that can be seen in the OP post.
There has to be a penetrator that will penetrator the armor after dealing with the ERA right? or is it supposed to spawn out of nowhere and penetrate the tank after the missile has defeated ERA?

Here is what is on the Internet about the missile in question.
"Unclear warhead, perhaps fragmentation thermobaric"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toophan

Tell me how is that supposed to penetrate or beat an armored vehicle and not aimed at defeating hardened bunkers instead?
The iranian toophan 7 is very similar to the us tow 2b/2b aero,this uses downward pointing explosively formed perpetrators to strike the top of the turret,the big advantage here is that the 2 efps take up a lot less room than a normal heat warhead which is a conical shape,the efp is a flat plate.

See the flat nose on the 2b just like the toophan 7?

Heres a diagram of the 2b,the iranian toophan is virtually the same,
Heres the earlier toophan 3,it looks virtually identical externally to the tow 2b but only has one efp.

I think you are confusing Toofan-3m(Top Attack) with Toofan-7(Thermobaric).
