Is the Noor a silkworm type missile?
ReplyDeleteThe NOOR or NOUR (TL-10) is more advanced Iranian made version of the Chinese C-802. Noor is a long-range anti-ship cruise missile manufactured by Iran and heavily modified and uses various land, sea and air platforms (even-heliborrne).
ReplyDeleteNoor has a range of over 200km and is powered by Toloue-4, an Iranian version of the French Microturbo TRI-60 engine. The older models acquired in 1995 were still quite accurate and capable and could achieve their maximum range of over 220Kms without the need for an OTHT (Over-The-Horizon Targeting) system. The new advanced NOOR shown in these Velayat 89 exercises (is standard Iranian SSM on most large ships and mobile batteries) are precision guided and used the Iranian DM-3b active-radar sensor with GPS guidance. The warhead is around 300 lbs with a time-delayed semi-armour-piercing high-explosive (HEAT) charge but can be configured in various other combinations.
