Talk:Fajr-3 (missile)

message: Okay, as previously suggested I split the articles into the main (MIRV) article and the artillery rocket. ArmanJan 21:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've already dealt with this—Iranian TV mixed up the Fajr-3 and Kosar in their news reports, and the information was republished.  Unless you can find some real evidence of this missile's existence, please delete this article and move the original Fajr-3 article back to its original name.  Please continue the discussion at Talk:Fajr-3 (rocket)#Split articles.  —Michael Z. 2006-07-20 22:39 Z
Uhhm, no. Kosar is an anti-ship missile. I have pictures of it. It is a blue missile fired from the back of a small truck containing a total of four rounds. Fajr-3, of which I have a video, is a missile the length of a building.  <-- Note that the picture is of some other missile. ArmanJan 16:02, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

text: That article and dozens of others, dated April 3, are based on the same confused Iranian TV report which globalsecurity.org casts doubt on.  The air force man (Hossein Salami) doesn't mention the missile's name in the actual quote.  —Michael Z. 2006-07-21 19:22 Z

Well, here you go. Proof from your favourite news source (FOX News): "On Tuesday, Iran tested a new surface-to-sea radar-avoiding missile that is equipped with remote-control and searching systems, state TV reported. It said the new missile, called Kowsar, was a medium-range weapon that Iran had the capability to mass-produce." then further down: "On Friday, Iran tested the Fajr-3, a missile that it said can avoid radar and hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads."  Mehrnews "A new land-to-sea missile called Kowsar was also tested successfully on Tuesday."  BBC "Friday's test demonstrated the Fajr-3 missile, also designed to escape radar and capable of hitting several targets with multiple warheads."  "On Friday, the first day of the war games, Iran successfully test-fired the Fajr-3 missile, which can avoid radars and hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads."  I can site even more sources, but that is not needed. Change it back. ArmanJan 12:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Split articles

message: The current photo attached to the article is almost certainly a Shahab-3 MRBM.  The performance of the Shahab-3 meshes nicely with all the press reports that are attributed to the Fajr-3; is it possible that the Iranian press don't really know which system was tested?  The idea of MIRVs (multiple independently targeted reentry vehicles) on a Shahab-class missile is laughable -- they're probably just talking about a fragmenting warhead or submunitions.  By "multiple targets" they probably mean "we can hit fifteen or twenty different buildings near the thing we're aiming at".  I think Iran is deliberately muddying the waters, and also mixing in a hearty dose of blarney. 16:00, 27 July 2006 128.244.70.132
::Sign your comments. The picture is of the Fajr-3 launch during the Holy prophet wargames. Video's are also available of Iranian military commanders commenting on the missile on Google Video. ArmanJan 18:47, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Fajr-3.jpg

message: Whoever suggested that Hamas operates the Fajr-3 ballistic missile...
According to Fox News, in an article about Hamas: "For the first time, they also unleashed the most powerful weapons in their arsenal -- Iranian-made Fajr-5 rockets capable of reaching Tel Aviv."
The Fajr-3 ballistic missile, according to the description in this entry, is significantly more capable than the Fajr-5 artillery rocket. Fox News claims that the Fajr-5 is the most powerful weapon in Hamas' arsenal. Based on this, it seems safe to say that Hamas does not have access to anything remotely similar to the Fajr-3 ballistic missile.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.58.122.186 (talk) 15:19, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
