Which platforms can carry the AS-15 apart from the Tu-160?

[TucksonSonny]

I didn’t know that Iran owns 6 AS-15 unarmed missiles (air-to-ground missiles kh-55 with 3000 km range and 200kT TNT equivalent/missile or which is a total capability of 1200 kilotons)

They have the knowledge and the material to arm them.

Only the Tu-95MS, but I'm sure the Iranians could fit it to their Su-24MK's if they put their minds to it. The Fencer can carry external fuel tanks that are a lot heavier than a Kh-55, so structurally there should be little trouble.

If they reverse engineered the aim-54a (maybe c), then they got to be able to do something with a "wee" kh-55 :p

 

At least the bastard that sold them the kh-55s didn't include the nuclear warheads. Although Ukraine is the only country in the world that freewillingly has given up nuclear weapons, the not so nice guy that sold those missiles could have "included" (read bought from Russia) some "warm" parts.

I think last time I have checked on the net, there was Tu-22M Backfire and tu-16 Badger in the inventory but it was not sure. Anyway, the Tu22M can carry kh-22.

It is anyway scary that these folks come in range of capital cities in Europe.

There are some issues over there..

 

Iran intend to produce enriched uranium in underground facilities, for civil use they say, ofcourse the EU and the USA doesn't want this. The EU3 and IAEA do what they can to prevent this by diplomatic means.
