Talk:Azarakhsh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
hey, does any one know what possibly the armament of this aircraft is?
- That info has not been released by Iran, but it is almost certainly older Russian weapons such as the R-60 missile, since these are the only armaments readily available to Iran. Edrigu 22:25, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
"In addition, an air-ground weapon called Zulfiqar was designed and developed with North Korea specifically for the Azarakhsh and later aircraft. It is reportedly a missile employing multiple separating warheads to hit several targets simultaneously. Other weapons for the Azarakhsh include AIM-9 Sidewinders, Mk.80-series of bombs, Chinese PL-5s, and the the R-73 (AA-11) “Archer” and Iranian built version of the AIM-7 Sparrow, which being a semi-active radar homing missile would give the Azarakhsh a BVR combat ability."
