MISAGH-1
The 'fire and forget' surface-to-air missile (SAM) is claimed to have the capability to engage fixed-wing and helicopter targets from all

angles, flying at altitudes of between 30m and 4,000m and at ranges from 500m to 5,000m. The Misagh-1 missile is fitted with a high-explosive

warhead weighing 1.42kg that is probably activated by an impact fuze, although a proximity fuze would be more effective. It can be used in an

ambient temperature range of from -40° to +60°C. It is 71mm in diameter, 1.477m long and has a launch weight of 10.86kg; the complete system

weighs 16.9kg. It uses a nose-mounted seeker for infrared passive homing guidance. The three key parts of the Misagh-1 system are the

missile in its disposable launch tube, gripstock firing unit and the replaceable battery/coolant unit, which is mounted towards the front of

the launcher. The missile is boosted out of the launcher by a boost motor at the rear which then falls away. The main rocket motor then

accelerates the missile to a maximum speed of 600m/sec. There are four fins at the rear with the control surfaces to the rear of the seeker.
-----------------------------------------------------------
QADR-1
The Qadr is a like the GBU-8, but it have a AGM-65A seeker, which seems to be better than that of the GBU-8. It seems (I'm not sure) that the

first version (lets say Qadr-1) is not powered by an missile engine, it seems to only glide to the target. The realistic (not ballistic)

range at a high altitude should be about 6-10km against big targets and 2-5km against smaller ones if used with help of TISEO of the Phantom

and 2-5km without TISEO. It seems to be only a good-weather weapon; operations at night are not very likely. There seems to be 2 versions of

the Qadr-1 one with the big Mk.84 bomb and the other seems to be with a M117-like bomb, this one with the M117-like bomb have big fins in its

rear.
-----------------------------------------------------------
QADR-2
The missile/bomb which called Qadr-2 seems to have some stand-off capabilities. I think it use also the Mk.84 bomb but with a big missile

engine (Tom says developed from the Maverick and Sparrow engine). I don’t know much about the guidance but it is not the normal Maverick

seeker it is bigger, but I think that it use also the EO system of the AGM-65A. It could be that it uses this EO system only in the terminal

mode, if it is close enough to the target, but this would need a data-link connection to the launch aircraft, I don’t know if Iran has the

capability for such a system. If not the range is like the Qadr-1 in combat, but if it have a direct real-time connection it could use the

F-4 radar to find the target shoot at region of it and if it is close enough (4-6km) to the target, it could be guided in real-time

EO-Terminal mode. If it use such a system the range could be from 10km to more than 50km (depend on the systems which would be used). But if

I look at the Qadr-2, it must have an other guidance system than the normal Qadr-1/AGM-65A seeker, because the size/engine it use, such

engines are for ranges over 10km, optimal maybe up to 50km. Like you see, I would need more infos, to say if it is a normal 5km EO system or

a far over 10km Radar/EO system, but because I don’t know, I can only speculate.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Sattar-1 is a laser guided missile, comparable with the AS-30L.

The Sattar-2 seems to be a powered LGB.

The Sattar-3 seems to be an improved version of the Sattar-1.

Zolfaqar A : 50-100?
(From Iran self build MBT, already in service, and more are to be build. (a longer M-60 with T-72S transitive and improved?) 125mm 2A46 full

stabilization gun ? 780PS-Diesel V12 ? or more?, new version with 840 PS V-12 motor (Zolfaqar-2?, automatic gun loader, IA40-1 or EFCS-3-55

fire control system with ballistic computer and laser rangefinder, AT-11 ATWG ??? Some with laser warning system equipped? (Improved

Zolfaqar-2?) it could be that in future the Zolfaqar(2 or 3) get more powerful motors with more that 1000 PS, a laser guiding system for

laser guided weapons (ATGM) is in production and will equip with new Zofaqar (2 or 3?). The Zolfaqar-2 have a Iranian build ERA. The first

deliverys (1998-99) where probably for the IRCG but the Army will be get Zolfaqars (2?) too, some reports say that the army is now equipped

with this Iranian MBT.

Outlaw, could you shorten your avatar pic just a little bit please? :wink:

And I don't mean to start a political debate here, but Iran has to be one of the biggest terrorist crock-pots in the middle east, I personally don't find anything about them to be "beautiful".

NOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE SHAHAB BALLISTIC MISSILES
As for the Shahab 1&2 I will say that their range respectively is 250-300km, 500-700km. Based on Scub-B & C respectively. Now the Shahab 3 range is 1,000-1,350-1,500km and the Shahab 3D is 1500+km. Then there is the Shahab 4 has the range of 1,800-2,000km. The Shahab 4 should be in production now. They say it could be possible to launch satellites from Shahab 4. In the future there is a Shahab 5 & 6 in development and what the the Shahab can be redisned to do is launch satellites!!! The Shahab 6 has the range or is suppose to have the range of 5,632 > 8,000km!! They can hit the US no problem and with the Shahabs they hhave now they can manage Israel. Inshallah this never is needed though.

That looks like a drawing to me............and I don't think Iran has the money to build something like that, muchless mass produce it and muchless deliver on any kind of promise as an F-22 killer..........

F-22 killer...pfft...the F/A-22A Raptor is going to be the king of the skies...hell if you're lucky enough to see it on radar you'd be twice as lucky just to catch the thing. Fastest plane in the US inventory (yes that's right folks, faster than the F-15 which is M2.5 unclassified...classified it's probably much higher)...F-22 I say minimum of M2.7 despite their M2.2 claimings.

Yeah bring it on baby...F-22 + AIM-9X + AIM-120C = a very bad day for the enemy..

Remember the F-22 may utilize that "sniper" option with the 120C.

Man you're all screwed!
