Iranian Missiles | News and Discussions

Zoljanah did not have any satellite launches yet

Error like I said but it has 2 x successful Launches with boilerplate payload though.

CEP for MRBMs is only theoretical. in war time conditions with GPS disruption the accuracy is much worse

CEP is always theoretical because in real war MaRV is no longer coming straight like in tests. Disruptions, environment changes, all come into play.

A2A missiles miss all the time in actual combat despite showing 100% accuracy in tests on target drones.

suborbital launches only

1-2 last tests may have failed but not announced so only speculation

going from <30m CEP in theory to 200-500m+ in practice is quite a significant difference and means it is no longer useful for tactical military operations (as we discovered in TP1 and TP2)

I know 2 successful launches with Boilerplate or inert payload and 1 failure in 2025. Was there any other reported ?

CEP is theoretical and nobody knows what it will in a war envoironment when RV is making lateral movements, coming down at different burnout V and apogee from tested numbers (Iranian case). If we go by theoretical vs actual logic, most A2A missile should not even be called guided since their kill probability has been low as hell. AIM-7E's kill probability was less than 10 % (50 kills for 700+ firings) yet it scored aerial victories.
 
You can google " موشک رستاخیز " and you will find tens of sources about " Rastakhiz Missile". None of them are click bait websites

Here you are:





And all those site for their source for info point to tose click baits

this guy says Fattah-2 project failed and has been shelved. new project for Fattah-3 has started instead

Qaher drone project also abandoned (thank god)

Tehrani Moghdam’s and his team’s death set the Iranian missile program decades.

Iran pivoted to increasing accuracy and building “derivative” missiles from existing families instead of pushing the envelope further. Outside of Khorramshahr family, we really haven’t seen “next” gen Iranian missiles. Everything is mostly a variant of Shahab family or Fateh-110 family with elongated tanks.

I am not sure what is happening in Iran’s missile development program. The team at Shahrud seems to be lackluster and or funds must be low. It’s not cheap to develop these long range next gen missiles. And Iran is hardly known for spending a lot of money. The user crying about “15 million” dollar being wasted on these programs is laughable and inconsequential.

totally agree

we are talking about a hypersonic glide vehicle on a medium range ballistic missile for god sake. serious countries invest billions of dollars into these projects

Anyway It is really deceiving. DPRK has developed HGV in different sizes and it is much smaller than Irán. I wish they can retake this program later. Maybe IRI needs all funds to relocate in IRIAF or serial production of spent units. Those missiles would easily hit targets around any US base without employing others to work as baits.
 
Nobody is talking about the brakes Khamenei put on Iranian missile program when he limited the ranges to 2000 KM. IRGCAF at that time could wield borderline IRBMs yet they had to disguise them hilariously claiming 1.8 tonne warhead to lower theoretical ranges to 2000 KM (~3200-3500 KM for both by IISS).

Result of this self immolation:

Borderline IRBM Sejjil-II never became ICBM Sejjil-III, instead it kinda turned into Zoljaneh SLV.

K-4's PBV can currently go to 3200 KM for a 750 KG warhead but we see no development beyond that. IRGC's Qassed SLV can be deployed with PBV for re-entry but how can you do that with your top leader will put you in jail for disobeying the orders.

I am afraid we are falling behind in other domains as well. Fattah-II HGV never got deployed. Fattah-I/KS never were morphed for other roles like AShBM, ALBMs despite massive operational success against layered AD of enemy. IRGCAF's shown ALBMs were never seen again after few developments.

We could all be wrong, may be they have learnt to be secretive after all, about their projects but knowing the incompetence culture in IRI I would not be surprised if in next 5-7 years IRGCAF starts to become IRIAF in 1990s. Right now they are armed to teeth, well funded and worlds most war hardened/experienced missile strike corp but we should never underestimate the IRI leadership in bringing down any functional Iranian institution to a shit show.

mossad agent .

His brother claimed he was assassinated, but then was pressured by this incompetent government to retract.

Given what we know today, it is highly likely that a Mossad sabotage team or a drone team caused a chain reaction explosion to wipe out the base and the team.

All it would have taken is a quadcopter and knowing the testing schedule to then hit the missile during movement from storage.

Keep in mind this was 2010 so Iran had no real air defenses and was very exposed, even worse than today.

Given the amount of sabotage teams we saw and their workshops during the war, its very likely that Teherani was killed by Israel and a military industrial accident.
 
You should answer your question with these 3 phrases:

JCPOA

Soul of JCPOA

JCPOA happened because of Sanctions

Sanctions happened because of IRI's constant threats to Israel and US

Constant threats to Israel and US happened because of what ? Please tell

Reformists

Khamenei's creation to make deals with West, if they fail he can blame them if they succeed, ayatollahs can get another life.

@Emirzad
You can be proud at least from IRGCAF.

I think they're exactly correcting weaknesses during the 12 days war.

First, Underground bases and even more interesting hardened positions will make much more resilient and decisive punishments operations against Israel.

Second, Purchasing last generation long range russian and Chinese (if its true) SAM will enhance indigenous industry to fill gaps in IADs

Third. Incoming new long range fighters would help to shield IRGCAF non hardened positions and nuclear infraestructure.

All in all they bet most of their deterrence again in ballistic missile power, that is the only way to dissuade Israel and US to touch the wasp nest again.
