Iranian Missiles | News and Discussions

Regarding the price of Fateh-110 ballistic missiles for Russia...

Back in 1990s China sold similar M-11 ballistic missiles to Pakistan at a price of 1mln$ per missile.

1mln$ in 1990s is equivalent to 2mln$ in 2024 if we take into account devaluation of US dollar over the last 25 years.

So 400 Fateh-110 missiles for Russia can cost between 800mln$-1bln$.

With 1bln$ Iran can buy 10-12 Su-35s with spare parts, weapons and support infrastructure.

With 1,5bln$ earned from selling drones and 1bln$ earned from selling missiles Iran can buy 25-30 Su-35s.

I can´t speak about prices, simply because I have not prior examples about buying/selling ballistic missiles.

Anyway it is necessary to remember that Iran has sign and done related works with Russia that would allow more cash to come. I am speaking about Aeroflot hiring services for repairing and maintenance of their Airbus.

An alliance of sanctions-busters: Russia turns to Iran to help with aircraft maintenance

Iran’s air safety record is as shoddy as Russia’s, but its mechanics have more experience in coding international sanctions.

That and probably another contracts will report more money for Iran to spend in Yak130/Su35/Mi28.
 
According to military analysts, supporters of Ukraine among NATO member states tried to weaken Russian artillery units by arming Ukraine with systems that had similar or better capability to/than Russian artillery assets. It turned to a Tit for Tat process that almost made Ukrainian ground forces on par with Russians in case of their range and firepower. Except for one system that almost saved Russians in the battlefield. And it was Smerch or BM-30 artillery MLRS.

Iranian equivalent to this Russian system is a family of rockets that started with Fajr-1.

Fajr-1
This small rocket is widely used in Iran, Syria and Iraq. Multiple units among Iranian armed forces used this artillery rocket

This is the same Fajr launcher. I think they have changed the warhead of Fajr-5 rocket with a cluster munition. The way it exploded and scattered on the surface.

It can be HEAT/HE fragmentation, Thermobaric, anti personnel, anti tank also guided or unguided warhead.

The name is guided Fajr-5c thermobaric variant, no need to rename an already existing platform for different warheads

The problem is, how will foreign country pass orders for any of Iran's exposed products?

Imagine you are Ethiopia or Rwanda or even Bangladesh and you want to have a cheap still effective alternative to US or Russian/Chinese products or simply complementing your arsenal with diverse weapons from diverse places, they expose themselves from US threats of massive sanctions for buying arms from Iran

If this wasn't the case, IRIAF would already be operational with JF-17 Block III and J-10C, hundreds of Su-30s, MiG-31s in mass and a heavy fighter jet program already done with western electronics and radars etc

So unless selling them from the black market, what is the reason to expose all of that to the public if they know they will not be able to buy anything for the simple reason of exposing themselves to massive sanctions like Syria did and Iraq got bullied by the US for just importing small arms from Iran

There are talks about Fajr-4 artillery rocket.

Mostly because of confusion, people might mistake Fajr-4 with Fajr-5 variants.

And yes, it has unguided version too.
