these boxes?

yes Eagle but where the hell is the radar for the standard?

BTW there was a picture in IMF-1 that showed a claimed to be reversed engineered standard

can you also answer my questions from the previous post? thanks

sorry if i sounded bad. thanks for your replay. much appreciated!

I checked out a picture of the Babr classes, and it looked dead on, even with the pesky hand railing in the way, even the distinctive door.

Good find Ayyash!

To be honest I've always thought the HQ-7 or LY-60 SAMs would be best for this vessel in terms of missile load and range...IF these are Standard Missile launchers, that would be the major advantage of the system because an SM-1MR has a range of at least 32km and Iran very well could have replaced the Analog sensor components with Digital ones that would enhance its accuracy and means it couldn't be as simply jammed as it would be if it was just a copy of the SM-1MR...just my thoughts

I doubt the few thousands kilos of weight this launchers add would adversely effect the speed of this vessel..most naval vessels can take on  many TONS of cargo without lossing much speed so I doubt these launchers would slow it down much if at all. And to be honest 30kts is a good speed for a light frigate/corvette...especially if its primary role is similar to the Alvands which is partol where speed isnt necessarily needed and range is the primary need.

Also it is entirely possible the Large radar could guide a Standard-type missile and that could explain the modifications to it.

 

Iran Unveils Major Defensive Project


TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran on Friday launched its first home-made destroyer equipped with guided missile systems as one of the country's greatest defensive projects.


The Jamaran destroyer was launched in the southern waters of the country in a ceremony on Friday attended by senior navy commanders and Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.

The Mowdge Class vessel has a displacement of around 14,000 tons and is equipped with modern radars and electronic warfare capabilities.

Jamaran, a multi-mission destroyer, can carry 120-140 personnel on board and is armed with a variety of anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles.

It has a top speed of up to 30 knots and has a helipad.

The vessel has also been equipped with torpedoes and modern naval cannons. The destroyer's launch marks a major technological leap for Iran's naval industries.

Iran has been pushing an arms development program in recent years in a bid to reach self-sufficiency. It has produced its own jet fighters and armored vehicles as well as radar-avoiding missiles and other high-tech weapons.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is also capable of manufacturing various kinds of naval vessels such as missile cruisers and destroyers.

The Iranian Navy announced in August that it plans to boost production of different types of home-made vessels.

Also in April, Commander of the Iranian Army Major General Ataollah Salehi announced that Iran plans to manufacture the largest destroyer and the most advanced submarines in the region.

  Iran's New Destroyer Capable of Conducting 6 Simultaneous Missions

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's first home-made destroyer, equipped with guided missile systems, is capable of accomplishing six simultaneous missions, thanks to the advanced technologies used in the vessel, commander of the Islamic Republic naval forces said.
   

Commander of the Iranian Army's Naval Forces Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari made the remarks in an interview with Iran's state-run TV, saying Jamaran destroyer can defend itself against under-water, surface and air attacks simultaneously.

"Several information, electronic warfare, anti-electronic, radar, missile, under-water torpedo-launching and sonar systems and technologies have been used in different stories of the destroyer," he said.

Noting that Iranian engineers and experts have not used reverse engineering in manufacturing the destroyer, Sayyari reiterated that the vessel enjoys the capability to carry choppers and different kinds of missile systems.

The destroyer has successfully passed different preparatory tests and can sail in any part of the Indian Ocean, he said.

The commander also pointed out that Iran's Navy has optimized all its units in the Gulf of Aden.

Elsewhere, he referred to Iran's capabilities in building submarines, and stressed that there are a few countries which can manufacture submarines in different sizes.

"But Iran can produce the submarines needed for its chain of defense today," Sayyari said.

Obviously he is not including the US Navy (as they are not a regional navy but a foreign force)

You were spot on eagle, it is the standard missile.



Here is some more information on it from planeman.

Standard SAM
Iran has reverse engineered the SM-1 Standard naval SAM missile and employs variants as both surface-to-surface and surface-to-air systems, possibly with the local name “Fajr”. The success and extent of service of the system is open to question, and it is thought that the Iranian Navy, who had fitted a Kaman class missile boat with the system after the retirement of the sole Babr class destroyer (Allen M Summer class FRAMII) which had carried 4 twin boxed launchers, and also trialed an air-launched anti-ship version, has retired the system. The reverse-engineered missile is claimed to have several enhancements including digital components allowing it employ different radar frequencies. In the SAM role the Fajar is fired from twin as per the SM-1 system on Babr, which are now mounted on an adapted I-Hawk SAM launcher. Performance is not known but is likely to be similar to the SM-1MR (RIM-66A Block-IV) naval missile, having a range of about 32km; significantly shorter than the I-Hawk.



Why did they put a manned 40mm Bofors cannon at the back? We already operate better CIWS. It would be pretty sweet if they managed to put a Kashtan CIWS armed with the SA-N-11 missile on it, or at the very least the AK-630 or even the AK-230. Do you guys think that thay will add the FM-80 SAM at the front in the future?

maby it is a upgraded sm-1 missile

Here is a copy of Standard missile in the last military parade!
