First, "ballistic" is not about the size and explosive capacity. This means only that the rocket engine works only on the initial area of the trajectory, and then it flies according to the laws of gravity and aerodynamics, such as a bullet. Unlike the winged missiles in which the entire flight occurs with the engine work, as in aircraft. In Viki FATH-360, for some reason, they compare with the American M142 Himars system.
This is not the best comparison because Himars is significantly more technological. FATH-360 is an analogue of the Russian Tornado-C volley fire system because they have a common origin with the USSR. Therefore, the flight range is 120 km, and the weight of the battle part of 150 kg, and even the Iranian missiles of the Soviet-Russian Glodass system are given. By the way, as it turned out, Glodas in Ukraine works badly, so the aggressor is forced to switch to American GPS.
That is, it is about 200-300 missiles and an unknown number of starting installations for the volume fire systems of the long range of action. This number of missiles can be shot in a week, saving - in a month. For our frontline cities, especially Kharkiv, this is bad news - shelling will increase somewhat. But no destruction of the Ukrainian energy system and fractures in the war, which has already been taken over in the media and abroad, is not mentioned.
Here, if Iran begins to supply Russia's ballistic missiles "Zolfagar", which carry a ton of explosives for a range of 700 km (it has few themselves), then for our critical infrastructure serious problems are almost guaranteed. The supply of a limited FATH-360 missiles seems to be an attempt to force the US to negotiate with Iran. Because Tehran has aggravated a long -standing problem: money or escalation.
If you negotiate with the States to relieve tension and launch something similar to the NAFTA in exchange for food, then Iran will continue to stuff the pockets with dull dollars without shock. If you do not negotiate, Iran begins to supply massive weapons of short -lived weapons, and in exchange, as they say, receives the technologies of creating a nuclear explosive device. But then the risk of state aircraft missing on Iran increases.
Iran has already produced nuclear materials in the armed concentration, but it has no practical design. This is important because the correct design provides both reliability and efficiency. For example, the technology of "neutron mirror" allows at least one and a half times to increase the power of the explosion by the same mass of nuclear material. It remains to wait for the Iranian conflict. This will definitely not pass us, so we will see everything and feel.
