Iranian Navy unveils new Simorgh strike drone

The Iranian Navy may soon be armed with a new strike unmanned aerial vehicle. Presentation of the new drone, called Simorgh (Simurg), was held on Saturday. It is reported by the Iranian news Tasnim agency.

In the city of Konarak in southeastern Iran, a new Iranian drone, developed in the interests of the country's Navy. The ceremony was attended by Rear Admiral of the Iranian Navy Hossein Khanzadi.

It is reported that the drone was developed on the basis of the Iranian shock UAV model Shahed-129, which has been produced in series since 2013, and represents its "naval version." At the presentation, it was reported that the drone can be used as a reconnaissance, strike or tactical drone.

The declared flight range is up to 1500 km, the duration of stay in the air is up to 24 hours, the practical ceiling is according to some 25 thousand feet (7,62 km), according to others - in the 4,5 area - 5 km. There is no information on the composition of weapons and reconnaissance equipment.

Earlier it was reported that Iran has successfully tested the prototype of the first self-designed Sejil drones. A half life-size prototype was built and successfully tested by the Iranian Ministry of Defense; it is planned to complete the assembly of a full-fledged copy "in the near future".

It was reported that the Sejil UAV is equipped with two jet engines and can reach speeds of up to 1000 km / h. He is also going to be armed with missiles with a firing range of up to 100 km.

Why is he "marine"? There are no floats, but as far as I know, Iran does not have aircraft carriers ...

Type warning amer in the Persian Gulf

[Shurik70]

It is painted blue above - it means it will fly over the sea.
It looks very rational. Nothing extra. A long wing implies subsonic speed and the ability to circulate for hours over a given area, consuming little fuel.
Interestingly, in reality, what kind of cargo can he carry? Believe the presentation of the creators of the Americans weaned.

[TermNachTer]

I wonder what engine is on it?

Wow !!!
The propeller blades are clearly visible behind.
But the propeller is very small. And the size of the air intakes clearly indicates a jet engine. It seems that the screw plays a supporting role.
The first time I see such a hybrid!

[asv363]

I can hardly imagine how a jet engine can also be installed in such a glider. I will assume that the propeller is for a long flight with low speed and low fuel consumption.

The Americans are putting turbojet engines on rockets with a "caliber" of about 180 mm!

[asv363]

It’s hard to disagree with you. However, a screw is available. The outlet of the turbojet engine is not visible on the video (which does not mean that the turbojet engine does not exist or cannot exist at all). The air intakes seem to be large, but is there enough space on the turbojet engine? What cravings will he develop?

As with sanctions, Vladimir Nikolaevich - took off his wife?

[Nikolaevich I]

I mentioned the turbojet engine for "example" ... in the sense that if they make a mini-turbojet engine, then why not bungle a mini-turbojet engine ...
As for the sanctions ... the other day, it was blown out by a draft ... I "flu", but life is getting better : convinced his spouse that with a cold the best medicine is mulled wine based on cahors ... managed to quietly add cognac there So ... we will live! PS Thank you for participating!

This is a rotor fan engine, the middle between a turbofan and a turbovine, similar to the Russian Federation, the NK 93 is not implemented and the Ukrainian (I don’t remember the brand) standing on the un-implemented an70. perhaps Russian or Ukrainian specialists are working in Iran, or both, well, it seems that in the west there is another company that continues to deal with rifle fans after their failure to attach to civilian aircraft because of their noise, and in the 80s they thought about the future for them. their speed is approaching a turbofan, and efficiency at the level of turboprops
I am writing from the phone and I can’t follow the link to the video to verify the type of engine, but judging by your descriptions, this is a fan heater

[Shurik70]

Quote: wwr

This is a fan motor

But isn’t the design feature of modern rotor-propeller engines, firstly, a large number of blades (the average between the propeller and the turbine) and secondly, two screws instead of one, rotating in opposite directions?
And here there is only one screw, and it has only three blades.
In addition, in the examples you cited, the blades stood in front of the engine. They pumped air into the turbines. And then the screw is behind. A completely different physics.

[water]

I didn’t see the video if as you write, then of course not, it’s just that a post above showed someone a small screw diameter, and on this basis I made a preliminary conclusion, in any case, Iran itself hardly even has turboprop technology, without foreign professionals can not do.

"Propfens" are placed not only "in front" but also "behind"! That is, propfens are used both pulling and pushing!

It is possible that this is not a "propeller", but "propfen" ... A feature of "propfen" may be the relatively small size of the blades (in comparison with the "classic" propeller ...) with a very high "speed"! Also, a distinctive feature "propfen are crescent blades ...

Watch the video.
The blades are straight and very slow.
In addition, the "propeller" has a relatively thin axis of rotation, while the "propfen" axis is thick, since in fact it is a pipe to which the blades are attached from the outside. The video shows the propeller. Three straight short, slow rotating blades on a thin axis.
Of course, the effect of the apparent slow rotation may occur due to the close coincidence of the frame rate of the shooting and the rotation of the screw. But this does not negate the fact that this is a propeller.

[Nikolaevich I]

I will definitely take a look ... until I have time ... I "flu" and am treated with mulled wine ...

[Pashhenko Nikolay]

It uses a piston Rotax 914. The size of the intakes only indicates that the piston engines also need cooling

[Vladimir_2U]

"Shore-based", have you heard of this?

Here are the handsome Persians! despite the sanctions - Go ahead!

[Krasnodar]

They now have a mess in the country - they turned off mobile Internet, cable works only in research institutes and government agencies. Most of the commercials went to Turkey. Bardak, in short.

So they catch))

There is no mess there. The riots were quickly suppressed, the Internet was disconnected for only a few days in November, now all parts of the country are back connected.

I don’t know, everyone with whom I talk about vegetables write from Turkey.

[Kosh]

In Iran, their Internet was turned off on November 17, and in general, all, both mobile and cable. Only the internal network worked, that is, sites and network services located within the country. Only individual authorities, state-owned companies and the media had access to the outside. On November 16-18, the peak of the "petrol" riots occurred, after which they were suppressed and after a few days the Internet was gradually reconnected. The cable Internet was there all over the country in about a week, that is, on November 23-24, they returned, the mobile one a little later.

[Krasnodar]

I don’t argue - just people with whom I work from time to time - pepper, kiwi - everything in Turkey. They explain this by the lack of the Internet.

[Kosh]

There, businessmen, of course, can play it safe and someone could go abroad for a while and have not yet returned home.

[Krasnodar]

Probably.

[loki565]

1000 km / h on such a wing ??? well done, although it is doubtful

[PalBor]

No, 1000 km / h - jet "Sedzhil", and in the photo - "Simurg". The article is a little clumsy.

[Mountain shooter]

Well, the wing is not supersonic, it is a fact. Therefore - they can also add ... the good of the cause for ...

[Pashhenko Nikolay]

Yes, of course. Only 170 km \ hour.

[Mountain shooter]

Wow ... In give the Persians. Serious car. If they don’t lie, of course ...

[RuslanNN]

Vague doubts torment me ... another bluff, how are they fighter for the 5th generation in which the pilot did not fit?

[Kosh]

This is a modification of Shahed-129, which has been mass-produced for more than one year and the Iranians have actively used them to attack militants and in Syria.

[Thrifty]

Maybe take a pair of three from them for rent to strike at militants in Syria, since they themselves are not able to launch an attack drone FAST into production! Now they will start to poke me with "Hunter", but this is still a concept, we don't have a real shock drone from the word AT ALL! !!

[Kosh]

This is not a new UAV, but only a modification of the Shahed-129 for the needs of the Navy.

[Altai72]

The name is Turkish. Translated means Phoenix))

[Avior]

Shahid? Turkish?
And with the phoenix it’s just clear

[Altai72]

Simurg, in Turkish, therefore, in Uzbek, and in Tatar, and in Azerbaijan ...

[Altai72]

Shahid - from Arabic. Literally a witness. In Islam, this concept is used both in relation to a witness at trial and in relation to believers who were martyred in a war against enemies, fighting in the name of Allah, defending their faith, Motherland, honor, family. Used in the sense of "martyr for the faith."

[boss]

semurg, just in case, on the Uzbek coat of arms, so the translation is not appropriate ...

[Altai72]

Uzbek is Turkic, similarity is 80%

[boss]

the Persians are not Türks!
learn mate part

[Altai72]

Persian statehood was created by the Türks. At present, over 40 million Turks live in Iran. The entire ruling elite of Iran is ethnic Turks. The trip to the library is yours
The materiel is waiting))

[svp67]

Quote: Altai72

Sorry, but you clearly have some gaps in the history. It remains to say that in ancient times the Greeks held back the "Turkic aggression" of Persia. Nonsense you say. Learn materiel

[boss]

only no offense, but such conclusions in the morning cheer up!
You tell the ancient kings of Persia, who taught their statehood!
then the Türks on the horizon did not shine and there were no plans)
the Turks came and give the Sumerians and Urartu statehood)
and all the patamushta, "the ruling elite of Iran are ethnic Turks," so this is a pearl!
and the Alawites in Syria did not accidentally teach people how to use fire and they didn’t accidentally bring statehood, why are they in power there now by the “ruling elite ?!
in short, we ask for new excursions into an alternative history!
burn ishsho)

[water]

Mnda Russia is even inferior to Iran in drones, it will be a complete disgrace when Ukraine builds its drummer, although together with Turkey it’s as if ready for the Motorsichev turboprops, but what about Russia? Cartoons and caps, caps ....

[dvina71]

In Libya, recession ... reason ... export Shell ... it’s not difficult to imagine what remains of drones when meeting with integrated air defense .. So, something to sculpt UAVs in this sector, wasting time and money.

[Altai72]

Turks launched their "Akıncı" yesterday. This is a serious pepelats.

Something interesting there. This “thing” without underwing load will tip over on the keel. Curious.

[Kirill Dou]

Wow. If you really developed it, you must pay tribute to the Iranians. Under the conditions of sanctions and a not very efficient economic system, to develop an attack drone is worth a lot.
