IRGC Aerospace Forces

On testing a long-range cruise missile by the IRGC Aerospace Forces The other day, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizade, commander of the aerospace forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), on federal Iranian television, presented the latest cruise missile (KR) with a range of up to 1650 km - Pave. The frames show the moment of launching the CR from a ground launcher (PU) using a starting solid propellant engine, followed by turning on a jet engine. The Pave itself followed a predetermined route to the final target at a height of 50 meters and hit the object. Hajizadeh added that the development of the Iranian defense industry has reached a different level with the creation of long-range hypersonic and cruise missiles, and the government's main task is to "destroy Iran's opponents in the face of Israel and the United States." 🔻Iran's missile program has really reached a new level? The Iranian military-industrial complex has proved a high degree of development, despite many years of economic and sanctions pressure from Western countries. The Iranians have demonstrated the ability to adapt to external conditions using all available methods. In the case of Pave, it is curious how the Iranians once again adapted a mobile launcher for launching missiles of this type - this has essentially become the standard solution for the Iranian armed forces to the existing problem with air carriers. However, earlier in Iran it was not possible to achieve such a range of ground-to-ground missiles. 🔻So the Iranians have both hypersonic and long-range cruise missiles? As for hypersonic weapons, there has not yet been any confirmation, except for the words of the high command of the IRGC in November last year, so at the moment these statements are in question. And the development of cruise missiles took on a modern form by 2015, when the Sumar ground-based missile launcher was introduced. The first actual use occurred during the conflict in Yemen, where, under the guise of their own development, the Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement tried to hit a nuclear power plant in the UAE. The Iranians actively tested almost all of their developments with the help of the Houthis, smuggling parts and components into Yemen. The appearance of the Quds family currently used by the Houthis of the Kyrgyz Republic, which became the prototype of the Pave, is a full-fledged copy of the Iranian Sumar CD. 🔻Perspectives The Iranian military-industrial complex is increasingly developing a strategic-range missile program, expanding the range of weapons on the balance sheet of the Army and the IRGC. Given the range of the new Pave missile of 1650 km, the Iranians are able to strike at important US targets and, in particular, Israel, from anywhere in Iran. Iran is equipping its armed forces with more and more new types of weapons, the Khordad-15 air defense system is being transferred to Syria to protect against Israeli air strikes, which cannot but alert Iran's opponents. The US and its allies need a sufficiently dangerous, but at the same time weakened Iran. The change of power in Iran is not beneficial to the collective West, but the further development of the long-range missile program, coupled with success in uranium enrichment, is a threat that they will not put up with. Therefore, in the coming weeks, we should expect more attempts to destabilize (https://t.me/rybar/43781) the situation in the country and, in the future, sabotage at defense-industrial complex facilities.
