Iran's Military Is Armed To The Teeth With Lots Of Missiles by Antiochus(m): 7:16am On Jul 05, 2020
And it has built the region's largest missile force.

Here's What You Need To Remember: Iran’s missile collection is quite remarkable and draws on lessons gained during the Iran-Iraq war. During that conflict, Tehran learned that it’s cheaper and easier to have a strong defense (many varied missiles) than a strong offense, such as airplanes that are expensive, require lots of maintenance, and could result in pilot deaths.

Missiles are an essential tool of the Iranian regime. They are used for power projection, particularly towards Iran’s neighbors, or for anti-access/area-denial closer to home, in particular over the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. Tehran’s missile collection is among the most diverse in the Middle East because Iran relies on modifications to Soviet/Russian and Chinese designs—although there are some domestic improvements thrown into the mix. Iran has thousands of short and medium-range missiles, and could very likely hit targets as far away as eastern Africa, Eastern and Southern Europe, Russia, India, and western China. Here are some of their most potent designs.

Fateh-110

The Fateh-110 development program started in the mid-1990s. Testing continued through the late 1990s and early 2000s, with serial production commencing around 2003. It has a range of about 210 kilometers (about 130 miles), with a suspected 500 kilogram (approximately 1,100 pounds) warhead. It is road-mobile when installed on mobile launchers, which were likely modified from other launch platforms to handle the Fateh-110.

Iran claims it has the ability to mass produce the Fateh-110. It has also been rumored that Hezbollah was supplied with some number of Fathe-110s from Iran, though this is difficult to confirm, as Israel destroyed a large inventory of Hezbollah munitions in strikes during 2007.


Shahab-1

Closer to home, the Shahab-1 is essentially a variant of the Russian SS-1 Scud missile, which is itself similar to the Nazi-developed V-2 Rocket that terrorized Britain during the Second World War. Like the SS-1 Scud, it is liquid-fueled, and has a range of about 330 kilometers, or just over 200 miles.


The Iranian Shahab-1 originated during the 1980s conflict with Iraq. Iran needed something with greater reach than provided by available artillery and wasn’t willing to risk its fleet of aircraft. (Many of Iran’s airframes were—and still are—vintage American planes, so servicing them with spare parts is problematic.)

Iran turned to Libya and Syria for missiles, launchers, and transporters. After the war with Iraq, Iran wanted a domestic production capability and turned to North Korea for expertise. Today, Iran possesses a variety of Shahab-1 variants with differing ranges, payloads, and accuracies.

Sejjil

The Sejjil series of missiles are among Iran’s most capable — they have a range of 2,000 kilometers (around 1,250 miles) and a warhead in the 500-1,000 kilogram range (about 1,100 to 2,200 pounds).

The Sejjil is speculated to be a domestic Iranian design, in contrast to most of Iran’s missile arsenal, which is wholly or partially based on other countries’ designs.

One of the advantages of the Sejjil missile is its fuel type—solid-propellant instead of liquid. This is advantageous due to solid fuel rockets greater robustness and speed of deployment. In contrast to liquid-fueled missiles that require a greater deal of preparations and specific launch conditions. (For instance, historically liquid fuel has to be kept quite cool, resulting in a large energy requirement.) If paired with a mobile launcher, the Sejjil would be a large, powerful, and rapidly-deployable threat.

Armed to the Teeth

Iran’s missile collection is quite remarkable and draws on lessons gained during the Iran-Iraq war. During that conflict, Tehran learned that it’s cheaper and easier to have a strong defense (many varied missiles) than a strong offense, such as airplanes that are expensive, require lots of maintenance, and could result in pilot deaths.

Iran learned a lot of lessons during the Iran-Iraq war and it emerged a great regional power in the middle east. Iran is wise to have invested in its military over the years and it is reaping the benefits now and that benefit is called deterrence.

Ain't hyping Iranian military ok. Even America and Israel know what would happen to middle east if they start a military confrontation with Iran. Do you know what it means to hurl missiles at U.S military base injuring over 100 soldiers? And all Mr Trump could do was bark on twitter even after he had promised the Iranians hell should they retaliate the killing of Soleimani. What restrained America from pulling the trigger after that event if truly they are sure of a victory against Iran?

War does not respect super powers, if war is won by superior military might America wouldn't have been defeated in Vietnam by a small country like North Vietnam and their ill equipped Viet Cong allies in the South, the powerful USSR won't be routed out of Afghanistan by ordinary jihadists. The same U.S wouldn't have been defeated by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Please kindly do an analysis of how U.S would take on Iran and its heavily armed proxies that are scattered around the region. Iran is the only major Shia country in the middle east an attack on Iran would be seen as an attack on Shia islam in the middle east and you think all the Shia faithfuls throughout the middle east would watch America and let her destroy Iran?

America can't even win a war with Iran with her air force. You don't win war with airstrikes America would have to roll in tanks which i know they won't dare to do because it would amount to suicide because of the rugged terrain in that country.

It's a war that will cost America trillions of dollars and please there is nothing like U.S would win the war within 4 days the way you and your fellow delusionaries on NL think. It's a war that will drag on for years. Another scenario like that of Vietnam where U.S lost over ten thousand military aircrafts to Soviet SAM "S-75 Dvina" and Mig 21 in North Vietnam's arsenal, the North which America was fighting lost only 150-200 aircrafts in total grin grin

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_losses_of_the_Vietnam_War

So you are the dick head here ok. War no be small thing, it does not respect your status as super power so many factors come into play when fighting war. Even America knows this they know Iran has a great advantage over them in the middle east. One of the reasons they didn't pull the war trigger after Iran struck their base in Jan, one of the reasons they are pushing for an indefinite arms embargo on Iran.

Don't misunderstand me. America is stronger than Iran militarily but the history of war has shown that war is not always won with your superior might/weapons. Go and ask Britain and France what happened to them during the "Battle of Gallipoli" in 1915 when the dying Ottoman empire defeated them with crude weapons.

You are a clown. Go and read more about the battle of Gallipoli British and French empires had great war ships that they were using to pound the ill equipped Ottomans who had lost most of their colonies in North Africa and Middle east, they were defeated by Hungary, Bulgaria, Austria and Greece during the Balkan war yet they still pushed back the superior forces of Great Britain and France and defended Constantinople with determination.

Vietnam War

America was a super power with sophisticated military that could crush the North Vietnamese and the ill equipped Viet Cong communist guerillas loyal to the North Vietnam yet America failed woefully, U.S adopted an attrition startegy that later backfired. The war mongers General Curtis Lemay and defence secretary Robert S. Macnamara that were advocating for a Nuclear strike on USSR during the Cuban Missile crisis were the ones who came up with "operation rolling thunder" an operation that oversaw the indiscriminate bombing of Vietnam all the bombs dropped on Vietnam combined was 23 times more powerful than the explosive force of Hiroshima and Nagasaki America thought the Vietnamese would surrender in the face of the indiscriminate bombing instead they matched U.S escalation for escalation.

America is a signatory to the 1949 Geneva convention that birthed the international humanitarian law also known as laws of armed conflict, America never obeyed laws of war they used chemical weapons known as "agent orange" on innocent Vietnamese civilians committed mass rape and massacre on innocent civilians with all its technological prowess America failed in Vietnam. That such military power might not prevail against poorly armed guerilla in an agrarian country is inconceivable.

The North Vietnamese military defended Hanoi and Haiphong airspace with the most dreaded air defence system of the cold war era the S-75 Dvina that Soviet Russia supplied the North. So many B-52 were lost to SAMs, North Vietnamese Mig-21 were just scoring cheap kills against U.S f-4 phantom, the main reason America started the F-15 programme.

Stealth technology was not in existence then but America started installing jammers on its fighters yet the North still developed a way to counter these electronic threat. In all America lost 10,000 Aircraft while North Vietnam lost just 200.

Never under estimate an enemy that is fighting a war of resistance. The Vietnamese saw America as an Imperialist that wanted to take over their country and were ready to fight the imperialist with the last drop of their blood.

NATO countries spent 20 years in Afghanistan and failed to defeat the Taliban now please explain how America would engage powerful Iran and its proxies at the same time. Those guys are scattered around the region and they are gods of assymetrical warfare. You don't even like your America na only asslicking you know. Just explain to me why U.S couldn't strike back after its base was smashed, tell me why America is pushing for an arms embargo. Take it or leave it Iran has a greater military advantage over U.S in that region not in weapons now but in tactics.

America is stronger and more advanced than Iran in every sense of the word "power". But, unfortunately, sheer power and military might isn't the ultimate determining factor that guarantee victory in warfare. You may want to ask history and man's unchanged nature.

Brothers, war is war, whether fought in the stone age or jet age. Two immutable factors underlines success in war, especially one on a major scale, and these factors are WILL and COSMIC order of things (the supernatural powers above us). If these two runs against you, you and your superpower status will just end up fighting a war you can never win.

My friend, stealth technology in the modern age is only effective against third world nations, not against a competitive military powerhouse like Iran or Korea. Iran has already proved that fact by downing the most secretive and advanced stealth drones in the US and Israeli aerial ansenals that breached its airspace. Stealth is overhyped.

Stealth technology was known to Russia way before the west came to know about it. The reason they did not prioritize it was because it serve no crucial strategic deterrence. And even now, it doesn't as well. The only reason the Ruskies are into stealth planes now is just to maintain an atmosphere of relevance and balance, not a strategic edge. Everyone of the key powers know that stealth is an illusion but good for military showmanship.

Israel and America have been carrying out cyber terrorism in Iran for a decade, remember the stuxnet worm attack. Israel is so worried and restless about Iran getting a nuke they can't invade Iran so all they can do is carry out cyber attack which is not effective. Israel would have avoided all these if it didn't influence Trump to ditch the nuclear deal.
