Ko na Iran krene u startu se zajebo.

 TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian military commander on Monday announced that the Army is due to test-fire an optimized version of the country's 2,000-pound (900-kilogram) smart bombs, Qassed (Messenger), in the near future.
Iranian Air Force Commander Brigadier General Hassan Shahsafi told FNA that early samples of the new version, called Qassed 2, will be tested in the near future.

The General reminded the capabilities of the Iran-made smart bombs, including high-precision and destruction power, and said that Qassed 2 has a longer range than its primary version.

He also said that Qassed 1 has already been mass-produced and delivered to the Iranian Air Force.

The Iranian Army's Air Force announced in September that it has successfully test-fired Qassed (Messenger) 1and 2, in aerial drills over the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

Elsewhere, Shahsafi pointed to the deployment of the US Patriot missiles in the Persian Gulf, and stated, "That is not a new development. They had previously deployed and tested the systems in other places and gained no (positive) results."

US officials announced that the United States has expanded land- and sea-based missile defense systems in and around the Persian Gulf to counter what it calls Iran's growing missile threat.

Four Mideast countries to have the US system are Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain - which also hosts the US Navy's 5th Fleet headquarters - and Qatar, which has a modernized US air operations center that played a key role in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Iran to test new guided-bomb soon

Iran's air force will soon test-fire a new guided-bomb, the Iranian Fars news agency reported on Monday.

"The 2,000-pound Qassed-1 guided-bomb has been mass produced and given to the Air Force ... its new version will be test-fired soon," Iranian Air Force commander-in-chief Hassan Shahsafi was quoted as saying by the agency.

"The Qassed-2 has a longer range, more accuracy and enjoys more explosive power than its older version," Shahsafi said.

The Iranian Air Force first test-fired the Qassed-1 (Herald) bomb in 2006 and put it into service the year after.

In February, Iran started production of two domestically-developed missiles with enhanced armor-penetration capability, the Qaem ground-to-air missile and the Toufan-5 anti-tank missile.

According to analysts, Iran has recently made significant progress in developing various types of combat planes and succeeded in gaining the technical know-how for producing aircraft and drones with stealth capabilities.

Iran launched a domestic arms development program after a U.S. weapons embargo was imposed during its 1980-88 war with Iraq. Since 1992, the Islamic Republic has reportedly produced its own Saeqeh and Azarakhsh jet fighters, stealth-capable Ghadir submarine, missile boats, torpedoes, tanks and armored carrier vehicles.

Iran frequently holds military drills and shows off modern weaponry in an effort to demonstrate its readiness to thwart any attack on its territory.

Citajte malo izmedju redova...ono sto se moze zakljuciti iz ovog teksta je da oni imaju potencijala da nesto naprave sto je za pohvalu!

A sta je smesno???

Bilo bi lepo da u cilju diskusije napises zasto smatras da je smesno 

GBU-15 koji su iranci kupili u vreme Šaha, ovo je kopija tog proizvoda, po svemu sudeći do detalja. Pominje se da druga verzija ove bombe ima i raketni motor kako bi se povećao domet. Inače domet osnovne verzije (bez sopstvenog pogona) zavisi od visine sa koje se odbaci, pa tako može ići i do 20-30km, ako se ne varam.
Vođenje TV, slično Mavericu, samo je nakačeno na gravitacionu bombu Mk 84 (900kg) uz dodatak aerodinamičkih površina.
Mi smo na osnovu glave za samonavođenje sa Maverica razvili sopstvenu za Grom-B. Verovatno su to i oni uradili, jer ako su samo kopirali i taj deo, onda su "performanse" takve glave ograničene, ali verujem da su koristili modernu ccd tehnologiju, sada je već uveliko komercijalno dostupna.
Ograničenje dometa ove bombe, čak i sa raketnim motorom (pa u tom slučaju govorimo o raketi vazduh-zemlja) jeste u optičkom senzoru, tako da se može gađati ona meta koja se optički može snimiti ovim senzorom i zaključati.
Zanimljivo je da GBU-15 ima i data link, pa je moguće voditi je i ručno a izbaciti pre nego se uđe u reon cilja i ostvari vizuelni kontakt, već pilot navodi bombu u očekivani reon cilja a zatim koristi sliku sa TV glave bombe da uoči i napadne cilj. Ne znam da li su iranci imali ovu verziju bombe sa data linkom ili ne.

Evo slike originala GBU-15(V)1/B:

 pretpostavke su da bi bombu verovatno nosili iranski F-5 (samo po jednu ) ili F-4 (ako je neki ostao u upotrebi) . teoretski bi i drugi tipovi aviona u iranskoj sluzbi mogli da budu upotrebljeni u te svrhe (mirage f1 , su-24 ,mig-29 i.t.d.) ali to bi znachilo razvoj avionike za koji se misli da iran nije sposoban (mada ko zna  )

Ovo treba posmatrati samo kao prelazno resenje do sledece generacije savremene bombe koje je u toku.
U svakom slucaju Iranci dosta ulazu u samostalni razvoj,sto je za svaku pohvalu.
