Saudi Arabia is temporarily halting oil shipments through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, the country’s energy minister has said. It follows a Houthi attack on a Saudi oil tanker off Yemen’s western coast.
The pause in shipments will last until the safety of shipments through the strait, which connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, is ensured, Khalid Al-Falih said in a statement.
The announcement follows an attack by the Yemeni militant force the Houthis on a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea west of Yemen’s coast. According to the Saudi-led coalition intervening in Yemen, the attack caused “minor damage”.

The vessel apparently belongs to the Saudi shipping group Bahri, which reported on Wednesday that one of its VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) tankers had been damaged in the Red Sea. The statement said nobody was injured and the damage posed no threat to the environment.
A similar attack happened in April, off the Yemeni port of Hodeidah.
The Houthis, who control Yemen’s capital Sanaa and large parts in the north of the country, have been occasionally targeting Saudi oil facilities. The Saudi-led coalition launched its military intervention in Yemen three years ago, in an attempt to restore ousted former President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power.
The intervention and blockade of the country has contributed to a massive humanitarian disaster.
Bab-el-Mandeb is a potential choking point for Saudi oil shipments. Any lasting disruption of traffic through it would result in turmoil on the crude market. Brent crude rose 38 cents to $73.82 a barrel on Wednesday.

US President Donald Trump warns Iranian President Hassan Rouhani not to threaten the United States again, after Rouhani cautioned Trump over pursuing hostile polices against Tehran.

WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - US President Donald Trump warned Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday (July 22) not to threaten the United States, or face the consequences, hours after Rouhani told Trump that hostile policies towards Teheran could lead to “the mother of all wars”.
In a late night Twitter message directed at Rouhani, Trump wrote: “NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!”
The escalation in rhetoric came as the Trump administration has launched an offensive of speeches and online communications meant to foment unrest and help pressure Iran to end its nuclear programme and its support of militant groups, according to US officials familiar with the matter.
Iran has faced increased US pressure and looming sanctions following Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from a 2015 international deal over Iran’s nuclear programme. Teheran has said its nuclear work is just for electricity generation and other peaceful projects.
Iran's Rouhani warns the US of 'mother of all wars'


In a speech late on Sunday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo denounced Iran’s leaders as a “mafia” and promised unspecified backing for Iranians unhappy with their government.

Addressing a gathering of Iranian diplomats earlier on Sunday, Rouhani said: “Mr Trump, don’t play with the lion’s tail, this would only lead to regret,” according to a report by the state news agency Irna.


“America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars,” Rouhani said, leaving open the possibility of peace between the two countries, at odds since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Rouhani also scoffed at Trump’s threat to halt Iranian oil exports and said Iran has a dominant position in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, a major oil shipping waterway.
Rouhani’s apparent threat earlier this month to disrupt oil shipments from neighbouring countries came in reaction to efforts by Washington to force all countries to stop buying Iranian oil. Washington initially planned to shut Iran out of global oil markets completely after Trump abandoned the deal that limited Iran’s nuclear ambitions, demanding all other countries stop buying Iranian crude by November.
But the United States has somewhat eased its stance, saying it may grant sanction waivers to some allies that are particularly reliant on Iranian supplies.

MIDEAST STOCKS-Saudi falls slightly after oil tanker attack, rest of Gulf mixed

* Gulf markets focus on factors other than geopolitics
* Saudi CDS show no increase in security worries
* Banks pull Saudi index lower
* But shipper Bahri, involved in attack on tankers, rises
* Q2 earnings miss pulls down Southern Province Cement
By Alexander Cornwell
DUBAI, July 26 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia’s stock market fell slightly on Thursday after Riyadh reported an attack on two oil tankers by Yemen’s Houthi movement, while other Gulf bourses moved little, suggesting investors don’t expect the event to have much economic impact.
Riyadh said it would temporarily stop shipping oil through a Red Sea strait following the attack. But oil prices rose only modestly, with Brent crude adding 0.9 percent to $74.59 a barrel after gaining 0.7 percent on Wednesday, when the attack reportedly occurred.

“Saudi’s oil shipments that did go via the strait can easily be rerouted via the Cape of Good Hope at little additional cost and minimal delay,” London-based Capital Economics said.
It said stock markets in the Gulf were focusing instead on signs of economic recovery in the region and improvement in the global market backdrop.
Credit default swaps, used to insure against the risk of a Saudi sovereign debt default and an indicator of geopolitical tensions in the Gulf, barely moved on Thursday.
The Saudi stock index closed down 0.4 percent as banking shares slipped, with Al Rajhi Bank and National Commercial Bank falling 0.5 percent and 1.2 percent respectively.
Southern Province Cement dropped 2.6 percent after reporting a 62 percent tumble in second-quarter net profit to 36 million riyals, far below analysts’ average forecast of 82 million riyals ($21.9 million).
But National Shipping Co (Bahri), which said one of its tankers was attacked, rose 2.6 percent.
Many fund managers view Saudi Arabia’s stock market as richly valued, with SABIC at over 20 times trailing earnings. But major Saudi investment bank Jadwa said in a report on Wednesday that the market could rise further in coming months as active foreign funds began entering ahead of Riyadh’s entry into MSCI’s emerging market index next year.
“We view a rise of at least 20 percent between now and early 2019 as totally plausible,” which would push the stock index to around 10,000 points, Jadwa said.
In Dubai, the index was almost flat but Dubai Investments added 1.5 percent. Emaar Properties and its unit Emaar Development rose 0.4 percent and 0.8 percent, a day after Emaar gave an update on its Dubai Creek Harbour development where it is building the world’s tallest structure, the Dubai Creek Tower.

Abu Dhabi’s index closed up 0.3 percent with Emirates Telecommunications Group rising 0.6 percent after reporting this week a 12.3 percent increase in second quarter profit.
But in Qatar, telecommunications firm Ooredoo fell 1.3 percent, causing the index to close down 0.1 percent.
SAUDI ARABIA
* The index was down 0.4 percent to 8,368 points.
DUBAI
* The index rose 0.1 percent to 2,949 points.
ABU DHABI
* The index gained 0.3 percent to 4,844 points.

QATAR
* The index was down 0.1 percent to 9,608 points.
KUWAIT
* The index was up 0.4 percent at 5,379 points.
BAHRAIN
* The index rose 0.4 percent to 1,368 points.
OMAN
* The index dropped 1.6 percent at 4,336 points.
EGYPT
* The index edged up 0.1 percent to 15,199 points. (Editing by Andrew Torchia and Alison Williams)

US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Tuesday that a rocket used by Yemen’s Houthis in an unsuccessful attack on a Saudi commercial ship in April was delivered by Iran.
“The threat to the Red Sea shipping was pretty obvious when you saw the tanker get hit by an Iranian-supplied missile to the Houthis. So the implications of this are not insignificant if we don't get this under control,” Mattis said a press briefing late on Tuesday.
On April 2, the Houthis had claimed the attempted attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil tanker.
Following the April attack, the US has expressed concern over the incident and accused the militias of trying to escalate the conflict in Yemen.

i think its china that supplied the rockets


China is the Very High End Upstream Technology Source of Iranian Missiles. From since Iran-Iraq wars they imported Chinese Silk Worm Missiles onwards, they had been learning and accumulated profound experience from Chinese missile and radar technologies. Copcat and cloned many Chinese missile models.

Now to seal off Persian Gulf oil shipping lines and hit the US fleet which are pussy - at the very most Dotard can fire 3000km ranged Tomahawks and take cover afar, just like in Syrian attacks. Iranian needs GPS jammers from China to confuse the Tomahawks, like Saddam got it from Soviet previously, confused Tomahawks programmed to hit Iraq went astray into Iran & Kuwait. Iran also aim to mimicking Chinese DF-21 ICBMs against US warships. To hit and sink Dotard's fleets using ICBM / IRBMs from thousands of km away. Instead of satellites, Iranian needs long range radar station installations, over the horizon type & drones to fix the moving target positions of US fleets and relay data-link to update the warhead coming down from space, to dive down at the targets' most updated position.

Warships moves several hundreds meters to 2~7km within the span of flight time of ICBMs / IRBMs, and unpredictable, so at their final dive-down-from-space portion of trajectory, they need to receive update via data-link, (encrypted telemetry) of their target's final positions.

Chinese can supply Iran with over-horizon radar stations, & drones, both are very advanced standard with latest Chinese technologies shown at Arms Trade shows. Iran have oil to pay Xijinping no fuck care of Dotard's sanction asserted. The more the Dotard want to cry Trade War, the more must Chinese fleet escort tankers to Iran and break Dotard' embargo, show the world WHO IS BOSS, weather China sanction USA or USA can still sanction Chinese. Show down ASAP pse!

Iran claimed it had succeed in cloning Xijinping's world unique DF-21 series of anti-ship IRBMs. If so, they would be the world's 2nd IRBM anti-ship power, they can export this to NK or others.

According to Iranian news release, their clone of DF-21 is tiny, 1~3 tons only, DF-21D is 15 tons. Range wise, Iran claim tested 250km speed MACH 4~5 . Accuracy can hit a US Navy Carrier.

伊朗成功测试可覆盖波斯湾的反舰弹道导弹,美曾质疑其真实性


澎湃新闻记者 杨一帆

英国《简氏防务周刊》网3月10日报道称,伊朗已经成功测试其新型“霍尔木兹”-2反舰弹道导弹(ASBM),并得到伊朗与美国的确认。

伊朗Tasnim新闻通讯社9日报道,这次试射由伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队执行。革命卫队空军指挥官哈吉萨达准将表示,“霍尔木兹”-2反舰弹道导弹成功摧毁了250千米射程范围内的一个目标。美国一名官员8日对福克斯新闻表示,伊朗试射了两枚“霍尔木兹”反舰弹道导弹,其速度高达4-5马赫,其中第二枚成功命中150千米外的浮动平台。

“霍尔木兹”-1和“霍尔木兹”-2(后)

“霍尔木兹”-2反舰弹道导弹首次现身于2014年5月,被认为是其“波斯湾”反舰弹道导弹加装主动雷达引导头后的变种。“波斯湾”反舰导弹于2011年2月首次曝光,射程约300千米,根据当时伊朗媒体公布的画面,导弹命中了一艘静止的靶船。

据中新社报道,美国有分析人士一度怀疑伊朗反舰弹道导弹计划的真实性。战略与国际研究中心2014年8月的一篇文章称:“专家认为……伊朗几乎不可能具有利用‘波斯湾’反舰弹道导弹……或任何弹道导弹与远程火箭炮进行反舰作战的能力。”

2014年9月,美国国防部向国会提交的《伊朗伊斯兰共和国军力年度报告》称,伊朗作战部队正在接收“波斯湾”反舰弹道导弹,这种武器可能改变海湾地区的军力平衡。时任美国导弹防御局主席詹姆斯·希瑞恩中将在当年6月提交给国会的声明中称,“这种导弹的射程为300千米,这意味着它能覆盖整个波斯湾,并威胁到霍尔木兹海峡的安全。”

《简氏防务周刊》报道认为,配备主动雷达引导头的“霍尔木兹”-2导弹肯定比“波斯湾”导弹更容易穿透障碍和干扰锁定目标,但是电子干扰可能会对其产生重要影响。

美联社2016年5月曾报道,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队副司令侯赛因·萨拉米对外警告称,如果美国及其盟友继续威胁伊朗,伊朗将对其关闭霍尔木兹海峡以示惩戒。

实际上,除了反舰弹道导弹,伊朗还于近期展示了多款具备海峡封锁能力的武器装备。据央视3月1日报道,伊朗在2月28日的演习中成功试射了国产新型“黎明”鱼雷,认为该型鱼雷一旦部署将极大地提高伊朗海军短程反舰作战能力,使其具备封锁霍尔木兹海峡的能力。

另据环球网3月1日报道,伊朗还公布了“黎明”-5型火箭炮及其300毫米口径制导火箭弹,射程40-130公里,命中精度为50-250米。2015年12月29日,美国军方发言人曾表示,杜鲁门号航母在霍尔木兹海峡航行时,正在演习的伊朗革命卫队向附近海域发射了数枚火箭弹,其中1枚落点距航母仅1500米。

Iran has successfully tested anti-ship ballistic missiles that cover the Persian Gulf, and the United States has questioned its authenticity.

The British "Jane's Defense Weekly" network reported on March 10 that Iran has successfully tested its new "Hormuz"-2 anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) and confirmed it by Iran and the United States.
Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported on the 9th that the test was carried out by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Brigadier General Hajisada of the Revolutionary Guard Air Force Commander stated that the "Holmuz"-2 anti-ship ballistic missile successfully destroyed a target within a range of 250 kilometers. An American official told Fox News on the 8th that Iran had tested two "Holmuz" anti-ship ballistic missiles at speeds of Mach 4-5, the second of which successfully hit a floating platform 150 kilometers away.
"Holmuz"-1 and "Holmuz"-2 (post)
The "Holmuz"-2 anti-ship ballistic missile first appeared in May 2014 and is considered to be a variant of its "Persian Gulf" anti-ship ballistic missile with an active radar-guided head. The "Persian Gulf" anti-ship missile was first exposed in February 2011 with a range of about 300 kilometers. According to the pictures released by the Iranian media at the time, the missile hit a stationary target ship.
According to China News Service, analysts in the United States once suspected the authenticity of the Iranian anti-ship ballistic missile program. According to an article in the August 2014 issue of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, “Experts believe that ... Iran is almost impossible to use the 'Persian Gulf' anti-ship ballistic missiles... or any ballistic missiles and long-range rockets for anti-ship operations. ”
In September 2014, the US Department of Defense’s Annual Report on the Military Power of the Islamic Republic of Iran submitted to the National Assembly stated that Iranian combat forces are receiving "Persian Gulf" anti-ship ballistic missiles, which may change the military balance in the Gulf region. At the time, the US Missile Defense Agency Chairman Lieutenant General James Hillin said in a statement submitted to Congress in June of that year, "The missile has a range of 300 kilometers, which means it can cover the entire Persian Gulf and threaten The safety of the Strait of Hormuz."
"Jane's Defense Weekly" reported that the "Hormuz"-2 missile equipped with an active radar head is certainly easier to penetrate obstacles and interfere with the target than the "Persian Gulf" missile, but electronic interference may be important to it. influences.
The Associated Press reported in May 2016 that Hussein Salami, deputy commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, warned that if the United States and its allies continue to threaten Iran, Iran will shut down the Strait of Hormuz to show disciplinary action.
In fact, in addition to anti-ship ballistic missiles, Iran has recently demonstrated a variety of weapons and equipment with the ability to block the strait. According to CCTV’s report on March 1, Iran successfully tested the new “Dawn” torpedo in the exercise on February 28, arguing that once deployed, the torpedo will greatly enhance the Iranian navy’s short-range anti-ship capability and make it blocked. The ability of the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the World Wide Web report on March 1, Iran also announced the "Dawn"-5 rocket launcher and its 300 mm caliber guided rocket, with a range of 40-130 km and a hit accuracy of 50-250 meters. On December 29, 2015, a US military spokesperson said that when the Truman aircraft carrier sailed in the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, which were being exercised, fired several rockets into the nearby waters, one of which was from the aircraft carrier. Only 1500 meters.

伊朗“霍尔木兹”反舰弹道导弹性能分析

2017-05-18 16:09 兵器知识



从外观看,伊朗展示的"波斯湾"和"霍尔木兹"导弹的总体外观变化不大,这与2010年8月公布的最初的"征服者"110是基本一致的,均沿用了较为标准和常见的铅笔形设计,总体设计布局和尺寸比例几乎完全一样。长径比基本保持在约14比1,在2010年8月的试验中曾透露"征服者"110导弹直径为0.61米,以此换算可知导弹长度约为8.5米。

20170518160933_00ecc6be07e7842caa0c80927a595e3e_1.jpeg


"霍尔木兹"2反舰弹道导弹
从这一尺寸和比例来看,该类导弹具备较为典型的战术弹道导弹特征,射程和战斗部较为有限。在"波斯湾"导弹2011年2月试射成功后,伊朗官方透露导弹使用固体燃料,射程为300千米,弹头重量达650千克,总重3.5吨。从外观和布局变化不大可以判断,以后的"霍尔木兹"1及2型导弹的情况基本也是如此。

20170518160933_00ecc6be07e7842caa0c80927a595e3e_2.jpeg


011年"波斯湾"导弹击中海上平台时采用了近乎垂直的攻顶模式
伊朗"波斯湾"和"霍尔木兹"系列导弹的气动设计在大体标准的前提下,做了较为谨慎的改进。从伊朗公布的"波斯湾"和"霍尔木兹"导弹照片来看,这一系列导弹尾部为4个垂直分布的截尖直角三角形尾翼,弹头颈部增加了4副小型直角三角形弹翼,从外观看为固定弹翼,且与尾翼方向呈45度角设置。
最为特别的是在导弹4个尾翼前端纵向,各设计了4副三角形空气舵,弹翼和空气舵设计在早期"征服者"系列中是没有的。从该舵的设置可以看出,该系列导弹具有全程飞行控制能力。由于该系列导弹头体不分离,且在这一射程内的导弹飞行弹道基本处于大气层内,因此导弹的空气舵会对导弹产生较大力矩,使导弹具有较高弹道机动性,对飞行稳定和打击精度至关重要。

虽然其面积较小,但由于导弹飞行速度较大,因此其可有效控制导弹飞行。从2011年"波斯湾"导弹击中海上平台的视频可以看出,导弹采用了近乎垂直的攻顶模式打击海上小型静止目标,而且在2017年3月试验的报道中伊方强调了"霍尔木兹"2打击了海上移动目标,表明该系列导弹具有较高的弹道机动性,适宜对海上移动目标的打击。

20170518160933_fcaaa10d575b772ddb4849682aa9e2d8_4.jpeg


弹头外形方面,与第一代的"波斯湾"相比,第二代的"霍尔木兹"导弹的战斗部舱要略长,且平直一些,这表明其很可能与第一代"波斯湾"采用整体战斗部不同,而采用了集束式弹头。由于为扩大载荷利用效率,子弹需要在舱内顺序排列,因此形成了平直的舱段外观。子母集束战斗部是提高弹头破坏效率的较佳方案,但是也降低了单弹头的破坏威力,尤其是对航母等防护坚固的目标。
不过按照伊通社的说法,"波斯湾"导弹和"霍尔木兹"系列导弹的战斗部重量超过650千克,完全达到了重型反舰导弹的标准。而且从2011年试验影像可以看出,水面舰船目标的宽度大致为10~12米,集束式子母弹头也足以瘫痪其甲板以上建筑。

20170518160933_eecdd78ab23c272238ff182dcfee1b2b_5.jpeg


"波斯湾"和"霍尔木兹"系列导弹从卵圆形头锥发展为两节圆锥形头锥,减少了导弹再入时的漂移和阻力,使得"霍尔木兹"导弹再入速度从"波斯湾"导弹的3马赫提高到4~5马赫。特别值得注意的是,2011年"波斯湾"导弹试验射程达到300千米,而2017年"霍尔木兹"2导弹在阻力减小的情况下,试验射程反而减少到250千米(有报道称150千米)。

20170518160933_eecdd78ab23c272238ff182dcfee1b2b_6.jpeg


在导弹动力系统和气动布局没大改的情况下,射程反而减低,最可能的是导弹没使用最优弹道,而是采用了较高弹道或末段较大的机动弹道,消耗了一定飞行能量,而这两种情况都是导弹突防的有效措施,特别是在采用弹道机动的情况下将再入速度从3马赫提高到4~5马赫,将大幅提高应对"宙斯盾"系统的能力。

据分析,“波斯湾”反舰导弹可能还被称为“霍尔木兹”-1导弹,该弹于2011年2月首次曝光,该弹配备了光电导引头,可在弹道末端发现舰船目标的红外特征,当时导弹命中了一艘静止的靶船。据美国《卫星新闻日报》分析,伊朗展示的“波斯湾”导弹具备中程惯性制导能力,也具有在末段红外成像制导能力,该弹与伊朗此前装备的“法塔赫”-110型导弹制导模式类似。而有西方分析人士猜测,“法塔赫”-110导弹参考了中国东风-11A型导弹的设计。2014年9月,美国国防部向国会提交的《伊朗伊斯兰共和国军力年度报告》称,伊朗正在装备“波斯湾”反舰弹道导弹,这种武器可能改变海湾地区的军力平衡。美军披露的数据显示,这种导弹的射程为300千米,速度为3马赫,战斗部重650千克,这意味着它能覆盖整个波斯湾,并威胁到霍尔木兹海峡的安全。

波斯湾导弹命中海上舰船的一瞬间
“霍尔木兹”-2反舰弹道导弹首次现身于2014年5月,被认为是其“波斯湾”反舰弹道导弹加装主动雷达引导头后的变种。据报道,配备主动雷达引导头的“霍尔木兹”-2导弹肯定比“波斯湾”导弹更容易穿透障碍和干扰锁定目标,但是电子干扰可能会对其产生重要影响。不过,从导弹发射车的图片来看,两者最大的区别就是制导部位的不同,其他没什么变化。但从伊朗媒体的描述来看,“霍尔木兹”-1导弹的速度为3马赫,打击距离为300公里,而“霍尔木兹”-2导弹的末速度为4~5马赫,射程为250千米,虽然这并不一定就是最大距离,但很可能说明其打击范围相对略小一些。引人关注的是,两者能使用一部发射车,因此可以搭配使用,这样可以因为制导头不同而提高打击的命中率。

伊朗展示霍尔木兹系列反舰弹道导弹 注意其头部的区别
从这两种导弹的制导头分析,“霍尔木兹”-1(“波斯湾”导弹)因为采用光电制导头而容易被干扰,因此才后续发展了“霍尔木兹”-2导弹。后者因为使用了抗干扰能力强的主动雷达导引头,而使其在复杂电磁环境下的命中精度大幅上升,同时,如果伊朗同时发射使用光电制导头的“霍尔木兹”-1和使用主动雷达制导头的“霍尔木兹”-2,将有可能使美军反导系统无法同时对付两种突防手段而功亏一篑,也即美军在进行光电干扰的同时很可能就无法进行反电磁干扰,从而在手忙脚乱之际给伊朗反舰弹道导弹带来了机会。可以说,此前中国号称“航母杀手”的东风-21D反舰弹道导弹一直让美国头疼,如今伊朗也在该领域取得突破,这可不会是什么好消息。尽管西方认为伊朗的反舰弹道导弹技术相对简单,但对于封锁狭窄的霍尔木兹海峡却不失为一件可怕的武器。

伊朗发展反舰弹道导弹就是要控制霍尔木兹海侠这条能源大动脉
“霍尔木兹”-1/2反舰弹道导弹的曝光似乎表明伊朗找到了反制美以的有效“撒手锏”,更重要的是,伊朗还可借此验证其导弹反拦截能力,因为具备末段机动能力的导弹最难被拦截。对此,美国媒体认为,鉴于伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队司令贾法里同时透露伊朗已装备探测距离可达1100公里的雷达,这种新式雷达很可能具备为“霍尔木兹”-1/2反舰弹道导弹指引目标的能力。一旦美军航母编队身处阿拉伯海域或试图闯入波斯湾,具备较高打击精度和较远打击距离的伊朗反舰弹道导弹就能对其进行有效威慑。如果伊朗确实在导弹的制导、射程、可靠性和运行精度方面达到了这样的成熟度,那么将可能改变这一地区的军事平衡,那么美国海军也确实需要认真对待。如果伊朗弹道导弹精度和射程不断提升,势必成为美军舰艇的新麻烦。这恐怕是经常将“中国反舰导弹威胁”挂在嘴边的美军始料不及的。

Performance Analysis of Iranian "Holmuz" Anti-ship Ballistic Missile

2017-05-18 16:09 Weapon knowledge




From the outside, the overall appearance of the "Persian Gulf" and "Holmuz" missiles displayed by Iran has not changed much. This is basically the same as the original "Conqueror" 110 announced in August 2010. Standard and common pencil design, the overall design layout and size ratio is almost exactly the same. The aspect ratio is basically maintained at about 14 to 1. In the August 2010 test, the "Conqueror" 110 missile was 0.61 meters in diameter, and the length of the missile was about 8.5 meters.



"Holmuz" 2 anti-ship ballistic missile

From this size and scale, this type of missile has the characteristics of a typical tactical ballistic missile, and its range and warhead are limited. After the successful test of the "Persian Gulf" missile in February 2011, Iranian officials revealed that the missile uses solid fuel with a range of 300 kilometers, a warhead weight of 650 kilograms and a total weight of 3.5 tons. Judging from the small change in appearance and layout, the situation of the later "Holmuz" 1 and 2 missiles is basically the same.



In 011, the "Persian Gulf" missile hit the offshore platform with a nearly vertical topping mode.

The aerodynamic design of the Iranian "Persian Gulf" and "Hormuz" series of missiles has been carefully improved under the premise of general standards. Judging from the photos of the "Persian Gulf" and "Holmuz" missiles released by Iran, the series of missile tails are four vertically distributed truncated right-angled triangular tails, and four small right-angled triangular wings are added to the warhead neck. Viewed from the outside as a fixed wing, and placed at a 45 degree angle to the direction of the tail.

Most notably, four longitudinal air rudders were designed in the longitudinal direction of the four tails of the missile. The design of the wing and air rudder was not available in the early "Conqueror" series. It can be seen from the setting of the rudder that the series of missiles have full flight control capability. Since the missile heads of the series are not separated, and the missile flight trajectory within this range is basically in the atmosphere, the air rudder of the missile will generate a large torque to the missile, which makes the missile have higher ballistic maneuverability and is stable to flight. The accuracy of the strike is crucial.




Performance Analysis of Iranian "Holmuz" Anti-ship Ballistic Missile

2017-05-18 16:09 Weapon knowledge





Although its area is small, it can effectively control missile flight because of its high flying speed. From the video of the "Persian Gulf" missile hitting the offshore platform in 2011, it can be seen that the missile uses a near-vertical attacking mode to combat small stationary targets at sea, and in the report of the March 2017 trial, the Iraqi side emphasized "Horma "2" hit the target of moving at sea, indicating that the series of missiles have high ballistic maneuverability and are suitable for hitting targets at sea.



In terms of warhead shape, compared with the first generation of "Persian Gulf", the second-generation "Holmuz" missile has a slightly longer warhead and a flatter one, which indicates that it is likely to be with the first generation "Persian". The Bay" uses a different warhead and uses a cluster warhead. In order to increase the efficiency of the load utilization, the bullets need to be arranged in the cabin in order, thus forming a straight cabin appearance. The sub-cluster warhead is a better solution to improve the efficiency of the warhead destruction, but it also reduces the destruction power of the single warhead, especially for the strong target of the aircraft carrier.

However, according to the Yitong News Agency, the warheads of the "Persian Gulf" missiles and the "Hormuz" series of missiles weigh more than 650 kilograms, fully meeting the standards of heavy-duty anti-ship missiles. Moreover, it can be seen from the test images in 2011 that the target of the surface ship is approximately 10 to 12 meters in width, and the cluster-type submunition warhead is also sufficient for building above the deck.



The "Persian Gulf" and "Halmuz" series of missiles have evolved from oval oval cones to two conical cones, reducing drift and drag during missile reentry, making the "Holmuz" missile reentry speed From Mach 3 of the Persian Gulf missile to Mach 4-5. It is particularly noteworthy that the 2011 "Persian Gulf" missile test has a range of 300 kilometers, and the 2017 "Hormuz" 2 missile reduced the test range to 250 kilometers with reduced resistance (reported) Weigh 150 kilometers).



In the case that the missile power system and the aerodynamic layout have not been greatly changed, the range is reduced. The most likely is that the missile does not use the optimal trajectory, but uses a higher trajectory or a larger trajectory of the last stage, which consumes a certain amount of flight energy. Both of these conditions are effective measures for missile penetration, especially in the case of ballistic maneuvering, increasing the reentry speed from Mach 3 to Mach 4-5, which will greatly enhance the ability to deal with the Aegis system.

Hormuz-1 and Hormuz-2 anti-ship ballistic missiles using the same launch vehicle

Iran has successfully tested its new "Holmuz"-2 anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) and has been confirmed by Iran and the United States. According to the British "Jane's Defense Weekly" network reported on the 10th, Iran's test was carried out by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Brigadier General Hajisada of the Revolutionary Guard Air Force Commander stated that the "Holmuz"-2 anti-ship ballistic missile successfully destroyed a target within a range of 250 kilometers. Earlier, analysts in the United States once suspected the authenticity of the Iranian anti-ship ballistic missile program. According to an article in the August 2014 issue of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, “Experts believe that ... Iran is almost impossible to use the 'Persian Gulf' anti-ship ballistic missiles... or any ballistic missiles and long-range rockets for anti-ship operations. But now, an American official told Fox News on the 8th that Iran has tested two "Holmuz" anti-ship ballistic missiles at speeds of 4 to 5 Mach, of which the second one successfully hit 150 kilometers. Floating platform. This is after China, the second country in the world has the ability to use anti-ship ballistic missiles to destroy large ships at sea.

Persian Gulf missiles have protective measures due to the use of photoelectric seekers

According to analysis, the "Persian Gulf" anti-ship missile may also be called the "Holmuz"-1 missile, which was first exposed in February 2011. The missile is equipped with a photoelectric seeker that can be found at the end of the ballistics. The infrared feature of the ship's target, when the missile hit a stationary target ship. According to the analysis of the US "Star News Daily", Iran's "Persian Gulf" missile has medium-range inertial guidance capability, and also has the ability to guide infrared imaging at the end, which was previously equipped with Iran's "Fatah"-110 missile. The guidance mode is similar. And some Western analysts speculated that the "Fatah"-110 missile referenced the design of the Chinese Dongfeng-11A missile. In September 2014, the US Department of Defense’s Annual Report on the Military Power of the Islamic Republic of Iran submitted to Congress stated that Iran is equipped with “Persian Gulf” anti-ship ballistic missiles, which may change the military balance in the Gulf region. According to data disclosed by the US military, the missile has a range of 300 kilometers, a speed of Mach 3 and a warhead weight of 650 kilograms, which means it can cover the entire Persian Gulf and threaten the safety of the Strait of Hormuz.

The moment when the Persian Gulf missile hit the sea ship

The "Holmuz"-2 anti-ship ballistic missile first appeared in May 2014 and is considered to be a variant of its "Persian Gulf" anti-ship ballistic missile with an active radar-guided head. According to reports, the "Holmuz"-2 missile equipped with an active radar head is certainly easier to penetrate obstacles and interfere with the target than the "Persian Gulf" missile, but electronic interference may have an important impact on it. However, from the picture of the missile launch vehicle, the biggest difference between the two is the difference in the guidance position, and nothing else changes. However, from the description of the Iranian media, the speed of the "Holmuz"-1 missile is 3 Mach, the strike distance is 300 km, and the end speed of the "Holmuz"-2 missile is 4-5 Mach, the range It is 250 kilometers, although this is not necessarily the maximum distance, but it is likely to indicate that the strike range is relatively small. It is interesting to note that both can use a launcher, so they can be used together, which can increase the hit rate of the hit because of the different guide heads.

Iran demonstrates the Hormuz series of anti-ship ballistic missiles

From the guidance of the guidance of these two kinds of missiles, the "Holmuz"-1 ("Persian Gulf" missile) was easily interfered by the use of the photoelectric guide head, so the "Hormuz"-2 missile was subsequently developed. The latter uses a strong anti-jamming active radar seeker to increase the accuracy of its hits in complex electromagnetic environments. At the same time, if Iran simultaneously launches "Holmuz"-1 using photoelectric guides and The use of the "Hormuz"-2 of the active radar guidance head will make it impossible for the US military's anti-missile system to deal with the two types of penetration methods at the same time, that is, the US military is likely to be unable to perform anti-electromagnetic interference while performing photoelectric interference. Interference has brought opportunities to Iranian anti-ship ballistic missiles in a hurry. It can be said that the Dongfeng-21D anti-ship ballistic missile, which China claimed to be the "aircraft carrier killer", has always caused headaches for the United States. Now Iran is also making breakthroughs in this field. This is not good news. Although the West believes that Iran's anti-ship ballistic missile technology is relatively simple, it is a terrible weapon for the narrowing of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s development of anti-ship ballistic missiles is to control the energy aorta of Hormuz

The exposure of the "Holmuz"-1/2 anti-ship ballistic missile seems to indicate that Iran has found an effective "handcuffs" to counter the US and Israel. More importantly, Iran can also verify its missile anti-intercept capability because Missiles with terminal maneuverability are the most difficult to intercept. In this regard, the US media believes that, in view of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Commander Jaafari also revealed that Iran has equipped radars with a range of up to 1,100 kilometers, this new type of radar is likely to have the "Holmuz"-1/2 anti-ship The ability of ballistic missiles to direct targets. Once the US aircraft carrier formation is in the Arabian waters or trying to break into the Persian Gulf, Iranian anti-ship ballistic missiles with high strike accuracy and long-range strike distance can effectively deter them. If Iran does achieve such maturity in terms of missile guidance, range, reliability and operational accuracy, it will likely change the military balance in the region, so the US Navy does need to take it seriously. If the accuracy and range of Iranian ballistic missiles continue to increase, it will become a new trouble for US ships. I am afraid that the US military, which often hangs "the threat of China's anti-ship missiles", is not expected.

Iranian MRBM this was tailor to nuke Israel, like I said it can be adapted like a DF-21 to hit US Navy Fleet. This one is 1000km ranged, MACH 7 speed, but not yet with sufficient accuracy to hit ship. The need to learn some more from Chinese.

The Shahab-3 (Persian: Ŝahāb 3‎; shahâb means "meteor") is a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) developed by Iran and based on the North Korean Nodong-1.[9][10] The Shahab-3 has a range of 1,000 kilometres (620 mi); a MRBM variant can now reach 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) (can hit targets as far as Israel, Egypt, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece).[11] It was tested from 1998 to 2003 and added to the military arsenal on July 7, 2003, with an official unveiling by Ayatollah Khamenei on July 20. With an accuracy of 2,500 m CEP, the Shahab-3 missile is primarily effective against large, soft targets (like cities). Given the Shahab-3’s payload capacity, it would likely be capable of delivering nuclear warheads. According to the IAEA, Iran in the early 2000s may have explored various fuzing, arming and firing systems to make the Shahab-3 more capable of reliably delivering a nuclear warhead.[12]
The forerunners to this missile include the Shahab-1 and Shahab-2. The then-Iranian Defense Minister Admiral Shamkhani has denied that Iran plans to develop a Shahab-4. Some successors to the Shahab have longer range and are also more maneuverable.[13][14][15]
Operating under the Sanam Industrial Group (Department 140), which is part of the Defense Industries Organization of Iran, the Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group (SHIG), led the development of the Shahab missile.[16]
US Air Force National Air and Space Intelligence Center estimates that as of June 2017 less than 50 launchers were operationally deployed.[17]

Iran got this toy from Putin, so Dotard won't want have his pilots buried in Iranian desert with Halal funeral.




Iran also got this to take down Dotard's Tomahawks directly before they hit target inside Iran: (if you traced up steam these are Russian & Chinese Technologies)



Iran can also use intensive area targeting IRBM rain to sink US Naval Fleet: (their NDP really displayed these in numbers, if they adapted Chinese DF-21 technologies can hit 1 ship per warhead directly)



Tunnel IRMB MRBM base infrastructure again is a copycat from Xijniping's Underground Great Wall Rocket Army Base. Dotard indeed need to get a taste of this, burnt his ass and lost his limbs from Iran, to teach him to fuck with China.
