Iranian and US reports have corroborated a successful test of Iran's new
Hormuz-2 radar-guided anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) in early March.
Iran's Tasnim news agency reported on 9 March that the Islamic Revolution
Guards Corps (IRGC) had carried out the test. "We fired the Hormuz-2 missile
this week," it quoted Brigadier General Amir Hajizadeh, the head of the
IRGC Aerospace Forces, as saying. "It successfully destroyed a target within
the range of 250 km."
When it was unveiled in May 2014, the Hormuz-2 appeared to be an active
radar-guided variant of Iran's Khalij Fars ASBM, while the Hormuz-1 was said
to be a passive radar-guided variant.
The Khalij Fars is a development of the Fateh-110 solid-fuel tactical
ballistic missile fitted with an infrared seeker to enable it to home in on
a ship's heat signature.
The radar-guided versions should be more capable than the Khalij Fars of
locking on to ships that are obscured by cloud or haze, but the Hormuz-2 is
potentially vulnerable to electronic warfare countermeasures.
Three days earlier, Fox News cited US officials as saying Iran carried out
two ASBM tests on 4-5 March, with the second successfully hitting a floating
platform 155 miles (250 km) away. One US official said the tests involved a
"Fateh-110 Mod 3" with a "new active seeker".
The first ASBM was launched from the IRGC base in Bandar-e-Jask on the Gulf
of Oman and landed "in the vicinity" of the floating platform it was aimed
at on 4 March, and a second launched on the following day hit the target,
the official said.
"It's a concern based on the range and that one of the missiles worked," one
official was quoted as saying. |
