Qiam 1 Missile

Iran test fires surface-to-surface missile

(AFP) – Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi announced on Friday that Iran has test fired a surface-to-surface missile, Qiam, a day before it is due to launch its Russian-built first nuclear power plant. State television showed images of the sand coloured Qiam (Rising) blasting into the air from a desert terrain, amid chants of "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest). The words "Ya Mahdi" were written on the side of the missile, referring to Imam Mahdi, one of the 12 imams of Shiite Islam, who disappeared as a boy and whom the faithful believe will return one day to bring redemption to mankind. Vahidi, whose speech during Friday prayers in Tehran was broadcast on television, did not say when the launch took place nor did he reveal the precise range of the missile >>>

Thank you, Hoshang. Go, Go,Go!

Thank you for your posts (in general). 'Had attempted cybersuicide because of all the....petrifying tosh ( I used to love Tosh). Unfortunately resurrected.


I so hope that you are right, I mean New Left (Review*) , and judging by your other posts - and facts, I love -  I think you may well be...

Mr/Mrs no fear: as you mentioned "legs spread wide"......

by yousef on

Can you share your experience of gaining green card/passport, in your current country of abode in the kafir west? so long as it is not too explicit. It would be extremely useful info for scores of like minded bassijis looking for  means of scaping Iran and settling in Kafir west, before things get too hot back in Iran:)

Lectures on "patriotism"

by AMIR1973 on

Lectures on "patriotism" coming from West-residing Groupies of an anti-Iranian, anti-nationalist, anti-democratic, and anti-Western terrorist regime aren't worth one Rial (and we know what has happened to the Rial's value since 1979  :-)

Cheers, O IRI Groupies  .-)

ALAKI QIAM

by maziar 58 on

instead of waste of Iranian money toward feeding the Iranians for a better standard of living pointing toy rocket to SAMAVAT will land nowhere ; the martians are friend and no one lives in the moon.

SARGORD & NO FEAR I'm not anti Iran or what not

I do not "put Watermellon under their arms"if the terms means any thing close to dare and chicken games in english.

Iranians "needs NO MORE war" CAPISCE ?  

P.S  IRANIAN'S ACHIEVMENTS HAS NO ROOTS IN KORAN OR THE qUM iNSTITUTE AL-TECHNOLOGY.           Maziar


No Fear

Sargord,

by No Fear on

Don't waste your time with these Anti Iran cheerleaders with their legs spread as wide as the distance between US and our Meehan. Their love for Iran must be somewhere in the middle, its not in their hearts. lol

It seems this missile is a prototype. Its a very strange one. While it points to major improvements in guidance systems, it seemed it went a step backward for choosing the liquid fuel for the engine.

But then again, as you pointed out, maybe they are working on a new fuel mixture. 

But why invest in liquid fuels when they already have the know hows on how to make solid fuel engines?

Funny, COP. :) To answer

by Sargord Pirouz on

Funny, COP. :)

To answer your questions, one of the available photos provides technicians prepping the SSM while erect on the TEL. Using that as a reference, scale and size can be determined.

Also, the color of the rocket engine's flame suggests a different mixture is being used.

The fact that there aren't any fins (Vector Thrust Stabilization instead of Aerodynamic Stabilization) suggests a better fit with the Simorgh SLV project's lower stage.

You know, I realize you guys' only interest here is to knock the country you cut and ran from many years ago. But if you do have serious technical questions, I will answer them to the best of my ability. I only wish you had something informative or substantive to offer, other than the usual mundane anti-Iran cheerleading.

Where did you get all that information sargoosfand

by cyclicforward on

Just by looking at this antique you can make such a detailed comment. What are you a rocket scientist or as usual a Khaliband.

Thanks Mehrdadm. I'm looking

by Sargord Pirouz on

Thanks Mehrdadm.

I'm looking at this, and have two observations:

1) It is a more compact design than the Shahab series.

2) It appears to be a more efficient design to, say, attach to the Simorgh SLV/arrangement. That could represent a "Qiam" moment in Iranian rocket design.

Incredible, these technological advances, all the while being the target of economic warfare (sanctions) by the US and West.

Well said Hoshang!

by Agha_Irani on

I hate these islamist low lifes polluting IC with their garbage propaganda.

I look forward to the end of the islamist regime so at least this and other sites are freed from  the propaganda when the intelligence ministry won't be funding their "soft war" efforts.

Iranian people's Qiam against you thugs has been under way for a while now. If you didn't have you head up your ( you know what), you might have noticed it.

Your days are numbered, enjoy your last ( death pangs) days.

In the name of brave,undefeated Iranian people. Our march towards freedom is unstoppable.

A friendly advice....

by yousef on

to the agents of islamist regime of Iran here.

Are you guys really as crazy as you sound?

Dont make these stupid comments. Do you want to get deported from  US, canada, Europe back to South Lebanon? Consider yourself as lucky to be here. i was back in Iran about 4 months ago, and I can tell you all the bassijis would love to be in your shoes, having a house in west, plus a Gas station or Kebab business. As for your Arch paymaster, Khalifa Khamene and his vazir ahmadinezhadi, Both have money laden plane on standbye to scape Iran to Syria in case US or Israel attack.

Now be good boys and girls, and dont forget your daily doses prozacs either.

by revor on

It seems that it is a modified Shahab 2 but the guidance section is rather small... So it could be a Modified SCUD C

More Missle types than missles? is that possible?

Hmmmmm

There's a second video that shows the actual impact of the Qiam-1 SRBM. 

Upgraded Fateh type SRBM is also slated for tests.

An interesting development that will certainly enhance Iran's defense doctrine based on deterrence. You have to hand it to them: Iranian rocket scientists and engineers continue to impress with their many ongoing achievements.
