According the Iranina news agency Farnews, the production line of Zolfaqar missile system will be officially inaugurated within a week in a ceremony to be participated by Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan. Zolfaqar, the latest generation of Iran's long-range missiles, which was unveiled in the Southern port city of Bandar Abbas during the nationwide parades of Armed Forces, is capable of carrying MRV payloads and can rains down missiles on ground targets with a high level of precision-striking power.A Multiple Reentry Vehicle payload for a ballistic missile deploys multiple warheads in a pattern against a single target. (As opposed to Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle, which deploys multiple warheads against multiple targets.) The advantage of an MRV over a single warhead is that the damage produced in the center of the pattern is far greater than the damage possible from any single warhead in the MRV cluster, this makes for an efficient area attack weapon. Also, the sheer number of warheads make interception by Anti-ballistic missiles unlikely. |
