Feel free to add more information, or correct the current information, etc. Any other missiles, etc? You may also notice that I refer to the first few generations of Shahab-3, as just 'Shahab-3' and the last generation of that model with 'Fajr-3'. I believe Fajr-3 is the last model/generation missile that came forth from the Shahab-3 models.

Shirazi · « **Reply #2 on:** January 29, 2010, 05:32:25 PM »

I think that Ghadr 1 is a different name for the Sejil missiles and that Fajr 3 is a MIRV capable Shahab 3.

If you go to the gallery, go to the photo you want to embed, beneath the photo you see something called, "BBC embed code", it look like the following:

Copy/paste that into your post.

I can mention at least three differences between sejil and ghadr-1 by looking at it for only a few seconds.... its a different missile, there are similarities though... As for Fajr-3... I think the warhead simply separates in three and hits three equally spaced points (triangle).

Can you please point out the differences?

thanks Ayyash, could you tell me roughly how many of each we have in our invetory, please? its always good to know!

Eagle2009 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 03, 2010, 07:04:40 AM »

The Ghadr-1 and Sejil are two very different missiles...they only appear similar..the Ghadr-1 is the final version of the Shahab-3 family of Liquid Fueled Missiles while the Sejil is a 2 stage Solid-Fuel Missile

The Sejil is the Future of Iran's Missile inventory because unlike the Shahab-3 is doesnt take hours to fuel before launch..it simply has to be erected and fired...it uses the same launcher as the Shahab-3 because it makes logistical sense (dont need to build special launchers)..and more importantly Solid-Fueled missiles are superior in range and size..

As for the Fajr-3 missile with the supposed MIRV capability...I believe it was only mentioned a few times in Iranian media and never talked about again..and I highly doubt Iran has true MIRV tech (the Chinese have only just developed it!)..most likely "MIRV" was used to describe a Submuntion warhead that can used instead a standard Unitary warhead..

Here is a great page describing the NoDong Family of Missiles (includes actually NoDong, Shahab-3, and Ghauri, and Safir SLV) including detailed analysis of their subtle an unique differences..

aryana · « **Reply #10 on:** February 17, 2010, 05:32:23 PM »

i think we should recycle shahab 3 for more sajjils or use it as safir rocket or kavoshgar

Shirazi · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2010, 05:35:04 PM »

How many Safir or Kavoshgar rockets do we need? The Shahab 3 is still being produced even though we have a better missile because the fixed costs have already been paid and the marginal cost is just decreasing.

aryana · « **Reply #12 on:** February 17, 2010, 05:36:35 PM »

do shahab 3 and sajjil use same tel

1)[Topic: Iran's Missile Inventory] =
2)all Soviet Scud tactical ballistic missiles.
3)range = 2,000 km.
4)fuel = kerosin and ammonia oxidiser.
5)warhead = TNT HE 1,000 kg.
5)no targeting of any kind, maximum damage is GPS coordinated hit and couple Israel city blocks ruined = city will be rebuilt in 2 years.

Israel is very small to be able to survive more than 50 Ballistic Missiles, there won't be anyone left to rebuild, lol.

1)100x of those Scuds and two blocks 5 km x 5 km of Tel Aviv is dead.
2)People hide in bunkers.
3)Arrow missile interceptor is 30,000 m Infrared targeting Igla.

grass hear is top quality, hydroponically grown 15-20 % THC. Here in Melbourne, Australia.

Modern Warfare is total hit. Specially those Special Operations missions. Those Humvee missions and trenches are totally MacCain slaughter.

I am out to watch next Hollywood clip. "The Rise of Cobra". I am bying only on DVD. Sanity shop. Not bad replay value.

Mr Ghost,
its not the "all Soviet Scud tactical ballistic missiles" as you like to put it that are going to ruin Bengurion airport, but rather the very sexy and agile Fateh110A with a range of only 300KMs

Could you clarify your statement? I don't quiet understand what you are saying. The "Igla" is a Soviet-introduced infra-red homing SAM (man-portable). Whereas, the "Arrow" is a US-Israel anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system designed to cater for a theater missile defense. Are you trying to say that one Arrow-2 interceptor is equal to 30,000 Igla SAMs?

In either case, the two systems are on completely different planes and are designed for specific and different reasons altogether -- "Igla" was never intended for theater missile defense. Like should be compared with like.

Eagle2009 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 15, 2010, 09:17:50 AM »

I think he means the Arrow is like a Igla with a ceiling of 30,000 meters...Both parts are incorrect, the Arrow has an operational ceiling of over 90km..and While its believed the Arrow's Kill Vehicle (which is what actually takes out the ballistic missile) uses several overlapping types of seekers including infared but it doesn't use it only..

I find this underwater missile.

What is the name of this missile. Only Russia has something similar.
This can sink an aircraft carrier, so it is a big deal in war with US.
