Islam Times - Iran supplies its warships with a vertical missile launch system

Islam Times - The Commander of the Iranian Navy, Admiral Hussein Khanzadi, announced the supply of warships and submarines with the vertical missile launch system, which will increase its capabilities.

He pointed that: "The installation of vertical missiles on the destroyer - Dmound 2 - in the Northern Navy of Iran," and the vertical missile launch system "VLS", designed to launch different types of missiles and to prove that the battleships and submarines contain a system consisting of a number of cells carrying missiles, A variety of rockets.

It is noteworthy that there are two types of launch in this system, namely hot and cold. In the hot launch, the rockets are arranged in a grid and each missile has a cover. At the launch, the rocket engine operates in the cell and is used in the west.

As for the cold system, the missile is fired from the cell before the engine starts, and the system is used by Russia and China.

One of the advantages of the vertical rocket launcher is to launch the rocket from its driving force and will not require a separate launch system.

The use of a vertical rocket launchers system in naval battleships is important because conventional bombers are large in size and occupy more space on the deck. In the vertical launch system, the system occupies less space on the battleships, allowing more missiles to be transported.
