Talk:Shahab-3

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This means that the INS/gyroscope guidance would also remain relatively accurate until impact (important, given the fact that the gyrosopes tend to become inaccurate the longer the flight lasts). With that guidance system, the Shahab-3B could achieve an accuracy of around 30-50m CEP or even less.

The Pershing II MRBM had a CEP of 50m using terminal active radar guidance together with INS. And that is still today the state-of-the-art. So the CEP of the Shahab can under no circumstances even be near 50m. It is grossly exaggerated--Arado 19:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unequivocal range

The lead expresses some uncertainty of the Shahab-3: "An early variant could fly 1,300 km; a later one may reach nearly 2,100 km." Has this potential been realised? I ask because some news reports state categorically it has a 2,000 plus kilometer-range. Can we have a reliable source clarify the situation? Ta. smb 14:21, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
