Iran appears to be testing an aeroballistic missile, presumably based on the Iranian 333-mm guided missile Fajr-4.
Or it could potentially be the Fajr-4 guided missile itself. And this marks the first footage of the new weapon.

Whether the Fajr-4 missile will have two versions – an air-launched and ground-launched one, or just one version and it is now an aeroballistic missile comes down to speculation.
However, below are photographs showing the Fajr-4 guided missiles, and the similarities with the aeroballistic missile are very apparent.

The focus on aeroballistic missiles is very apparent, and Russia should be given credit for its Kinzhal hypersonic missile – it is an air-launched ballistic missile.
Air-launched missiles have the advantaged of a (potentially) greatly increased range, and speed.
The Kh-47M2 Kinzhal (from Russian: “Dagger”) is a nuclear-capable air-launched ballistic missile (ALBM). It has the range of over 2,000 km, the speed of ~Mach 10 speed, and is capable to perform evasive maneuvers at every stage of its flight. The missile can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads.

very nice mister IRAN
are you syrian ? :D
no, are you?
no turk :D
anything that will deter the disjointed states of A in general and the jews in palestine in particular is good. and I assume it will come in handy when an alliance of middle eastern countries have decided to wipe the jews in palestine off the face of the world since they long ago have forfeited the right to remain in palestine. the place israel is a failed geopolitical experiment where the beneficiaries of the experiment have in all respects lost the right to exist in palestine. thus they must go, voluntarily or be buried 6 feet under pushing up daisies.
ofcourse the jews in palestine don’t know how to give just to take and take and take till the giver(s)) is skint (just as the disjointed states of A is about now with 25165 billion bucks in debt which is 118% of gross domestic product).
Su-22 launch platform…. Iran’s F-14 or MiG-29’s could get higher with it’s service ceiling being well above 50,000 feet.

Iran has built one of the the most potent and lethal missile inventory in the world. The next 5 years will see Iran become a preminent airpower as well.
where are you come from ?
‘Zionism Evil’ is a Pakistani In Pakistan who’s claiming to be an American
Was that, what they tested in Oman bay yesterday ?
Is that a threat?
You tell me ;-)
Not something that won’t make me sleep at night, just another toy that would be useless.
the best thing is to live within your borders and not threaten and attack others. when people are threatened and constantly attacked the natural human reaction is to defend themselves however weak they are.
You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that this missile is a dud, the rocket engine didn’t ignite and the missile falls like a rock
How incompetent the Iranians are? First shooting their own civilian plane, then being the first country outside China with COVID and now this? Releasing footage of a failed rocket launch?
go away and stop spreading LIES
even the idiot amerikan military “experts r aware that if the US or their Israeli puppets attack Iran, all US bases and most of Israel will be obliterated by Iranian missiles—the patriot and iron dome trash may intercept a child’s kite–nothing else….US bases in Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, Syria, UAE Turkey, SA and their pitiful carriers will be junkyard detritus if they attempt aggression against the peace loving Iranians…the Iranian missile defense system is reputed to be equal or better than the Russian s300……the Yanqui cowards r arware that Iran will crash their economy—their famous “flying” fast boats and subs can fully mine the hormuz straight in 6 hours—inhibiting oil export from Iraq, Kuwait–and if Qatar or SA intervene the natural gas pipeline can easily be demolished.
Don’t cry you pizdet, bow down when you talk about us you roach.
