Emad (missile)
Emad ( fa, عماد, lit=pillar) is an Iranian-designed, Liquid-propellant rocket, liquid-fuel, medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM), a derivative of Shahab-3. Description The Emad can carry a 750 kg payload at a range of 1700 km with 10 m accuracy. It uses a new nose cone design, which is different from that of the original Shahab-3. The changed design may also make it possible for the warhead to detonate high above a target, which makes it more suitable for an air burst chemical, biological or nuclear weapon detonation, as well as for nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack.The missile was presented by brigadier general, Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan on 11 October 2015. Emad features a newly designed reentry vehicle with a more advanced guidance and control system, making it the country's first IRBM that is precision-guided. The missile features a Maneuverable reentry vehicle (MARV). With an advanced guidance and control system in its nose cone, the missile's acc ...

Military Of Iran
The Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces, are the combined military forces of Iran, comprising the Islamic Republic of Iran Army (''Arteš''), the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (''Sepâh'') and the Law Enforcement Force (Police). Iranian Armed Forces are the largest in the Middle East in terms of active troops. Iran's military forces are made up of approximately 610,000 active-duty personnel plus 350,000 reserve and trained personnel that can be mobilized when needed, bringing the country's military manpower to about 960,000 total personnel. These numbers do not include Law Enforcement Force or Basij. Most of Iran's imported weapons consist of American systems purchased before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, with limited purchases from the Soviet Union in the 1990s following the Iran–Iraq War. However, the country has since then launched a robust domestic rearmament program, and its inventory has become increasingly indigenous. According to Iranian officials, most of ...

Surface-to-surface Missiles Of Iran
A surface-to-surface missile (SSM) or ground-to-ground missile (GGM) is a missile designed to be launched from the ground or the sea and strike targets on land or at sea. They may be fired from hand-held or vehicle mounted devices, from fixed installations, or from a ship. They are often powered by a rocket engine or sometimes fired by an explosive charge, since the launching platform is typically stationary or moving slowly. They usually have fins and/or wings for lift and stability, although hyper-velocity or short-ranged missiles may use body lift or fly a ballistic trajectory. The V-1 flying bomb was the first operational surface-to-surface missile. Contemporary surface-to-surface missiles are usually guided. An unguided surface-to-surface missile is usually referred to as a rocket (for example, an RPG-7 or M72 LAW is an anti-tank rocket whereas a BGM-71 TOW or AT-2 Swatter is an anti-tank guided missile). Examples of surface-to-surface missile include the MGM-140 ATACMS, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Science And Technology In Iran
Iran has made considerable advances in science and technology through education and training, despite international sanctions in almost all aspects of research during the past 30 years. Iran's university population swelled from 100,000 in 1979 to 2 million in 2006. In recent years, the growth in Iran's scientific output is reported to be the fastest in the world. Science in ancient and Medieval Iran (Persia) Beginning in ancient times Persia has been a center of scientific achievement and was often the conduit of knowledge from China and India in the East to Greece and Rome in the West. Persian-speaking scholars have been active in furthering knowledge in fields of science and technology, such as astronomy, chemistry, anatomy, biology, botany, cosmology, mathematics, engineering, and architecture. Science in Persia evolved in two main phases separated by the arrival and widespread adoption of Islam in the region. References to scientific subjects such as natural science and ...

Equipment Of The Iranian Army
This page includes weapons used by both the Ground Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army and the Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. From 1925 to the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Iran was primarily equipped with Western hardware and equipment. Cases exist where Iran was supplied with equipment before it was even made standard in the country that developed it (for example the US F-14 Tomcat jet, and the British Chieftain tank). Primary suppliers included the United States, Britain, France, West Germany, Italy, Israel, and the Soviet Union. The post-revolution sanctions and the Iran–Iraq War had a dramatic effect on Iran's inventory of western equipment. Under the pressures of war, supplies were quickly exhausted and replacements became difficult to come by. The war forced Iran to turn towards Syria, Brazil and China to meet its short-term military needs. Initial developments in military technology were carried out with the support of China, North K ...

Missile Magazine System
The Missile Shower System ( fa, سامانه تیربار موشکی) is an automated, rail-mounted multiple ballistic missile launcher designed to enable a rapid barrage of medium range ballistic missiles (MRBMs) to be launched from Iran's underground missile silos. Each system has the ability to carry and fire five Emad precision guided missiles with the range of 1700 km and maneuverable warheads as shown in the unveiling-ceremony. The system has been built by the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and was unveiled on November 4th 2020. Overview Each system consists of a rail mounted wagon with the ability to vertically carry five missiles, the vertically-stowed missile "magazine" then brings the groups of missiles into their launch positions for rapid, consecutive launching from the underground silo. This system is the first of its kind, and has no parallels anywhere else in the world in the missile arsenals of other countries. The Shower ...

Iranian Underground Missile Bases
According to Iranian authorities, Iranian underground missile bases or silos ( fa, پایگاه های موشکی زیرزمینی ایران ), also known as the Missile Cities ( fa, شهرهای موشکی) exist in all provinces and cities of Iran. The bases contain road-mobile transporter erector launcher trucks, along with other hardware. A video from one of the missile sites was released for the first time on 14 October 2015 by Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of Aerospace Force of the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution. This was just a few days after news of the testing of a new-generation medium-range ballistic missile, the Emad, was broadcast by the state media of Iran. Amir Ali Hajizadeh stated that: "Iranian missiles of varying ranges are ready to be launched from underground bases once Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei orders to do so," adding that "Iran created missile bases in all the provinces and cities throughout the country at a ...

List Of Military Equipment Manufactured In Iran
In recent years, the Iranian government states that it has self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems. Tehran established an arms development program during the Iran–Iraq War to counter the weapons embargo imposed on it by the US and its Western allies. Since 1993, Iran has manufactured its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles, radars, boats, submarines, unmanned aerial vehicles, and fighter planes. History From 1925 to the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Iran used to be equipped with the very latest Western hardware. Cases exist where Iran was supplied with equipment even before it was made standard in the countries that developed it (for example the US F-14 Tomcat, or the British Chieftain Tank). Primary suppliers included the United States, Britain, France, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), Italy, Israel, and the Soviet Union.
