Zitat:Meanwhile the third surface action group operating off Bandar Abbas failed to flush out the Sabalan. Instead the Iranian missile boat Joshan came out to challenge the U.S. ships and fired a Harpoon missile at the cruiser USS Wainwright. The cruiser maneuvered to limit its profile against the cruise missile and fired chaff. The tactic worked as the missile locked onto the foil cloud 100 feet off the starboard beam. The Wainwright immediately fired six Standard missiles at the Joshan followed by a Harpoon. By the time the Harpoon arrived at its intended target, there was nothing left to hit.

Zitat:While deployed to the Arabian Gulf, the USS STARK is hit by two Iraqi Exocet missiles but only one of them detonates. Both missiles were accidentally fired by an Iraqi F-1 Mirage aircraft, killing 37 sailors and wounding 21 others. The pilot later claims that he had mistaken the STARK for an Iranian oil tanker.

The STARK suffers heavy damage and could only be saved by the effective damage control efforts of the crew.

After the incident a discussion about the efficiency of the Phalanx CIWS, the SLQ 32 and the Mk 92 Fire Control system started because none of the frigate's system detected the incoming missiles. An AWACS plane monitoring the area also did not detect the missiles but only the Iraqi fighter aircraft.

Im persischen Golf hatte die US Navy zwei Begegnungen mit "modernen" SZFK.

Während der Operation "Earnest Will" im Jahr 1988 wurde der amerikanische Kreuzer USS Wainwright von einem iranischen FAC mit einer Harpoon angegriffen, konnte die Harpoon jedoch täuschen. Die Wainwright zerstörte daraufhin das FAC mit 6! SM2 und einer Harpoon. Klotzen nicht kleckern sag ich da nur :evil:

Zitat:India successfully test-fires surface-to-surface BrahMos cruise missile

NEW DELHI (AFP) Dec 21, 2004

India on Tuesday successfully test-fired for the first time a surface-to-surface version of the supersonic missile BrahMos it has jointly developed with Russia, the Press Trust of India reported.

The flight test was conducted at 1230 a.m (0700 GMT).

Top army brass were present to witness the event including Lieutenant General J.J. Singh, who is shortly due to take over as the chief of the Indian army.

India has so far only test-fired BrahMos, which has a range of 280 kilometres (175 miles), from aboard warships since its development by Indian and Russian experts in 2001.

BrahMos was on display at the January 26 Republic Day military parade, and an unspecified number of countries are said to be interested in buying the cruise missile, which carries a conventional warhead.
