Commander: Pin-Point Precision Capability of IRGC Artillery Determine Combat Strategy in Battlefields

TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Ground Force Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour underlined IRGC's progress in building state-of-the-art weapons and equipment, and said the artilleries used by the IRGC enjoy the highest level of precision targeting possible.

"At present, strategies are centered on using one bomb or missile for one target and today we are witnessing that our artilleries enjoy pin-point precision targeting capability with the help of laser-guided Krasnopol rounds," Pakpour said, addressing a forum on the superior ammunitions of the Ground Force in Tehran on Wednesday.

He stressed that Iran is now moving towards the doctrine of one artillery round, bomb or missile for one target, adding that such a capability will both strengthen the Iranian forces' morale and weaken the enemies' will.

Die iranische Sicherheitsdoktrin - Wie Khamenei einen Krieg in Afghanistan verhinderte

Als Paradebeispiel der iranischen nationalen Sicherheitsdoktrin, wie sie bis heute Geltung hat und die auch nun im Zusammenhang mit dem Konflikt im Irak Anwendung findet, kann man mit Fug und Recht jenen Zeitabschnitt im August 1998 ansehen, als die fanatischen Taliban-Milizen Masar-e Scharif stürmten, eine Stadt im Norden Afghanistans, die zuvor von der dortigen Nordallianz gehalten worden war.

Die Nordallianz war mit Iran verbunden und unter ihrem Schutz standen mitunter die Persisch sprechenden sunnitischen sowie schiitischen Völker Afghanistans. Als die Taliban unter den diesen ein Massaker in der Stadt Masar-e Scharif anrichtete und in diesem Zusammenhang acht iranische Diplomaten gefangen nahm und tötete, wurde im Nationalen Sicherheitsrat Irans (SNSC) der Ruf nach einer militärischen Operation mit dem Ziel der Vernichtung der Taliban laut – drei Jahre, bevor die USA nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September einen ähnlichen Gedanken fassen sollten.

*Iran is making significant progress in building a network of long-range early-warning radars.

*IHS Jane's has identified what appears to be the 3,000 km range Sepehr radar in the northwest of the country, as well as a prototype facility for the Ghadir radar that was unveiled in June.

Satellite imagery obtained by IHS Jane's shows that Iran has two more long-range, early-warning radar sites in addition to the one that was unveiled earlier this year.
...
If the Kordestan radar is the Sepehr and has a detection range of 3,000 km, it would provide 360o coverage of all Iran as well as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Turkey and Pakistan. It also provides partial coverage of Eastern Europe, southwest Russia (including Moscow), western India and most of the Arabian Sea.

Pentagon report says Iran is fielding anti-ship ballistic missiles
Jeremy Binnie, London and Daniel Wasserbly, Washington, DC - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
08 September 2014

Iran's Khalij Fars anti-ship ballistic missile (AShBM) - a weapon that could shift the military balance in the Gulf region - is being delivered to operational units, according to the US Department of Defense's annual report to Congress on the Islamic Republic's military capabilities.

"Tehran is quietly fielding increasingly lethal symmetric and asymmetric weapon systems, including more advanced naval mines, small but capable submarines, coastal defence cruise missile batteries, attack craft, and anti-ship ballistic missiles," the report's declassified executive summary said.

This is the first corroboration of Iranian claims that the AShBM is in service. US officials declined to comment further on the report, which was submitted to Congress in January.

The Khalij Fars is a version of the Fateh-110 tactical ballistic missile with an electro-optical (EO) seeker that enables it to home in on a ship's infrared signature in its terminal phase. The Iranian media has reported that the missile has the same 300 km range and 650 kg warhead as the more recent versions of the Fateh-110.
