Iran succesfully develops and tests Persian Gulf anti-ship ballistic missile

.
Fars News Agency reports the succesful development and test-launch of the Khalij-e Fârs (Persian Gulf) anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) by Iran's defence industry.

The Persian Gulf missile uses a highly mobile TEL launch platform, and is equipped with advanced guidance systems allowing for superior precision, while its trajectory as well as speed do not leave much room for interception by enemy warships.

The whole weapon system is of domestic design and production, making Iran the only country, along with China, to field this type of advanced and technologically innovating missile.

This achievement represents yet another great asset in the Islamic Republic's defensive deterrence capability against the imperialist occupation powers that are openly threatening its security and territorial integrity on a daily basis.

The major powers will never manage to prevent Tehran from progressing in all areas of science, society, ecomony or politics.

I don't believe it ~

The target vessel's CIWS and SAM defences are geared to intercept sea-skimming cruise missiles, not ballistic projectiles. Also, the speed of such an anti-ship ballistic missile (the Persian Gulf reaches mach 3,5-4 at impact), is clearly greater than that of any existing anti-ship cruise missile incl. hypersonic ones. The Persian Gulf and China's ASBM, precisely because of their vertical flight path and speed, are much harder to intercept than missiles that fly parallel to the sea.

@2eyedrops I think you're confusing ballistic / cruise. Iran has what you are referring to, see for ex the Iranian-produced Noor anti-ship missile, which is a sea-skimming cruise missile developed from China's C-802. But that's old news already.

This Persian Gulf ASBM is not a cruise, but a ballistic missile: it isn't intended to follow a horizontal flight path, but a ballistic one. China has a similar anti-ship ballistic missile, which the US navy admitted they have no countermeasure against

Awesome - Tust like US is only reduced to wiggling and jiggling its behind in front of little Kim of NoKo. I now see a repeat in the ME.

Welcome the new weapon of peace. Time for US to find another zone for terrorism.
