Iran test-fires missile able to avoid radar, can hit several targets :-O

If Kilos are hiding close to shore they would have the support of land based anti ship missile batteries and air defence.I do not think that US Navy ships would wander too close to Iran’s shore and especially the submarine warfare Orion’s at low altitude.

More than likely any Iranian Kilo out to sea at this moment is already being closely tracked by Western Forces. I wouldn’t doubt that Iran will keep them in port until the crisis passes. 😮

things have change just think Kilos armed with Squal in Confined space of Persian Gulf!

Feel bad for the Iranian Kilos and their crews. With complete air dominance of the USN and USAF over the crampped Persian Gulf, those Kilos can’t hide forever… it will have to come up for air.

I was wondering..how did iran Got this missile Torpedo ..and what more does Iran Have..it puts lot of cracks in the theory that Iran didn`t bought any thing in Past 10 yrs..and gives fire to the rumours of Mig-31s in Iran or Zalson M in TomCats..God knows what More?

Tehran tests sonar evading missile
TEHRAN (April 03 2006):

Interesting, what is probably the loudest underwater weapon ever developed is termed sonar evading. Wonder what that says about the radar evading missile 🙂

Tehran tests sonar evading missile
TEHRAN (April 03 2006):
Iran has test-fired a sonar evading underwater missile that can outpace any enemy warship, a senior naval commander told state television on Sunday during a week of war games in the Gulf.

Iran earlier in the war games said it tested a radar-evading missile and Sunday’s announcement is likely to add to Western worries. Iran has a commanding position over the Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Gulf, a shipping route through which passes some two-fifths of all the oil traded in the world.

“This missile evades sonar technology under the water and even if the enemy sonar system could detect its movement under the water, no warship could escape from it because of its high velocity,” Revolutionary Guards Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said.

“The Islamic Republic is now among the only two countries who hold this kind of missile. Under the water the maximum speed that a missile could (usually) move is 25 metres per second, but now we possess a missile which goes as fast as 100 metres per second,” he told state television.

The commander used the word “missile” in Farsi, rather than “torpedo”.

“The boats that can launch this missile have a technology that makes them stealthy and nobody could recognise them or act against them,” he added.

State television had earlier described the missile as the world’s fastest. It also showed images of the weapon being fired from what appeared to be the deck of a ship, followed by the weapon travelling at speed through water.

“It carries a very powerful warhead that enables it to operate against groups of warships and big submarines,” Fadavi said.

The test was part of a week of Iranian naval manoeuvres that started on Friday and taking place in the Gulf and Sea of Oman. The official Irna news agency said the manoeuvres were to show Iran’s “defensive capabilities”.

Some people are getting confused. Iran tested 2 different weapons, 1 a modified Shahab-3 (Fajr-3) & a under-water rocket powered Torpedo like a Russian system.

Its either the Russians secretly supplied them the weapon or the Iranians are intelligent enough to develop their own using the Russian concept which if they did then we should appreciate their expertise.

The information says it is “Radar Goriez” it means it avoid radar so no stealth maybe something like those cruise missiles which fly on blind spots of radar ?!!

No my friend…
It’s not cruise missile… it’s ballistic one.
I saw it’s video… it’s Ballistic
So, I think that we have to take into consideration that it may be stealth :confused:

The video is low quality but in TV Iran news channel it shows better with high quality.Yeh it looks almost the same as Shkval.

Yes I saw the clipping of the under water missile , it does looks like a Shkval , May be Russia has transferred the Technology to make this system in Iran or probaby Iran might have procured them as part of the Kilo deal.

What ever it is , it was very fast

here is the video o The high speed torpedo.

Iran hoot torpedo

that looks very fast!!! 😮

Ok..the “underwater missile” is VA-111 Shkval (Squall) here is the link..

One thing I dont get it…How did iran got it?? what more does iran Have?

They said they gonna test soon new technologies related to missile.

Hello,
Iran tested the missile which is called “Fajer-3”.. It’s arabic name which means “The Dawn-3”
This missile can avoid radar… But there is no information to insure, is it really stealth? or it flies low (under radar’s waves)?
However, there is information says that this missile is a Ballistic missile and has a range of about 2000 Km or a little more.

it sounds just like some pakistani ‘standoff thing’ that could strike ‘invisible targets’ ‘without enterin the airspace of the enemy’ and all…seems these guys are more inclined to poetry than to technical language.. :confused:

what are these guys trying to say really? radar avoidin missile, underwater missile…

OK..Here it is ..courtsy Geo TV

Iran tests high-speed marine missile
TEHRAN: Iran said Sunday it has successfully test-fired a high-speed underwater missile, saying it was capable of destroying huge warships and submarines.

The Iranian-made missile has a speed of 100 meters per second underwater, Gen. Ali Fadavi, deputy head of the Navy of the elite Revolutionary Guards, said. He called it the fastest underwater missile in the world.

“It has a very powerful warhead designed to hit big submarines. No warship can escape from this missile,” Fadavi added.

On News again..I have again seen a videeo iran has tested some new type of missile today…it is fired like missile through tube then it dived into watar and keep on traveling under water with high speed ..for quite a long distance then it struck a boat..anybody has ant info..i saw it on geo tv ..moments ago.

OK let’s concentrate on the video and the military issue than the politics.

The missile in the video is quite clearly a Shahab-3, the one with the modified rentry vehicle infact. The Fajar-3 designation have been previously used for Grad/FROG type short range rockets.

Interestingly, they talked about hitting multiple targets. Are they referring to MIRV technology? Stealth/radar avoidance could also mean re-entry decoys.

Frankly, if that is the case, it is a more signficant development than simply longer range (Shahab-4/5) missiles.

I’m trying to pull myself together to believe this is true, but its Iran and how do they get that sort of technology?
