Iran's missile program

 Iran's missile program is regarded a vital defensive and offensive power in the area. Iran has produced ballistic, cruise, and anti-ship missiles, among other kinds of missiles. These missile systems have diverse ranges and serve a significant role in boosting Iran’s strategic capability. The principal missile systems of Iran are detailed below:

1. The Shahab Missile Series
Iran's first ballistic missile series, the Shahab series, was developed using missile technology from North Korea.

Shahab-1:

This missile, which was first created in Iran based on the Scud-B, was called the Shahab-2.

500 km is the range
Type: SRBM, or short-range ballistic missile
Energy source: liquid
An improved model of Shahab-1 Shahab-3:

1,300–2,000 km is the range.
Type: MRBM, or medium-range ballistic missile
Fuel: Liquid Iran's well-known Shahab-3 missile is intended to attack Saudi Arabian and Israeli sites.

2. The Qadr Missile Line
Although it is based on the Shahab-3, the Qadr series has better features:

Qadr-F:

Coverage: 2,000 km
Type: MRBM, or medium-range ballistic missile
Energy source: liquid
Designed for increased accuracy and range.

Qadr-H:

1,650 kilometers in range

An improved variant of Shahab-3 designed to strengthen Iran's defenses.

3. Sejjil Missile: 

Type: Medium-range ballistic missile; Range: 2,000–2,500 km (MRBM)
Energy source: solid
With improved accuracy and speed, Sejjil is Iran's first two-stage solid-fuel ballistic missile. It is regarded as a substitute for the Shahab-3.

4. Zolfaghar Missile: 

Short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) with a 700 km range

Energy source: solid
Iran employed the highly accurate modern missile Zolfaghar in 2017 to target ISIS locations in Syria.

5. Fateh-110 Missile: 

Type: Short-range ballistic missile; Range: 300 km (SRBM)
Energy source: solid
The solid-fuel Fateh-110 missile is renowned for its accuracy and speed and can carry a variety of payloads.

6. Khalij Fars Missile:

 Type: Anti-ship Ballistic Missile; Range: 300 km
Energy source: solid
The Khalij Fars missile is capable of carrying out precise strikes at sea and is intended to target warships.

7.Emad Missile;

1,700-kilometer Emad Missile Range
Type: Medium-range guided ballistic missile (MRBM)
Fuel: Liquid The first guided ballistic missile from Iran, the Emad has a more accurate warhead.
8. Khorramshahr Missile:

2,000 kilometers in range
Type: MRBM, or medium-range ballistic missile
Energy source: liquid
The Khorramshahr is a contemporary missile with the potential for great destruction that can carry several warheads.

9. Raad-500 Missile 

Short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) Range: 500 km Type:
Energy source: solid
The Raad-500 is a lightweight missile with great destructive potential that is constructed of cutting-edge composite materials.

10. Haj Qasem Missile:

Medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) with a 1,400 km range
Energy source: solid
2020 saw the introduction of the Haj Qasem missile by Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

11. Soumar Cruise Missile:

Land-attack cruise missile; 700 km range
Soumar is a long-range cruise missile capable of delivering nuclear bombs. It is a component of Iran's cruise missile program, which aims for increased precision.
12. Ya-Ali Missile:

Land-attack cruise missile; 700 km range
Ya-Ali is another cruise missile in Iran's arsenal, effective for short-range strikes.

13. Ashura Missile: 2,000 miles in range
Type: MRBM, or medium-range ballistic missile
Energy source: solid
The solid-fuel Ashura missile, which can reach far-off targets, is seen as a substitute for the Shahab series.
14.Fateh Mobin Missile

Range of the Fateh Mobin Missile: 500 km
Type: Ground-to-ground ballistic missile
The Fateh Mobin is a contemporary missile that uses cutting-edge technologies to improve warhead accuracy and target recognition.

15. The Bina Missile
Bina is a laser-guided missile that can hit a variety of targets precisely.

Hypersonic Missile of Fateh
Iran significantly improved its defense capabilities in 2023 when it unveiled Fateh (Victory), its first hypersonic missile. This missile is regarded as a strategic weapon that strengthens Iran's military dominance in the area because of its great speed and accuracy.

Important characteristics:
Range: about 1,400 kilometers; Speed: hypersonic, or more than five times the speed of sound (Mach 5+).
Energy source: solid
Missile type: Hypersonic ballistic

The Fateh hypersonic missile is primarily known for its remarkable speed and sophisticated avionics, which enable it to avoid opposing radar and defense systems. It is far more hazardous than traditional ballistic missiles since it is made to maneuver erratically in flight and reach its target quickly.

This missile is designed to hit enemy installations precisely as well as for defensive objectives. An important turning point in Iran's missile program, the development of the Fateh hypersonic missile demonstrates the country's increasing technological might.

Other missile systems not on this list are part of Iran's missile program. In addition to being crucial to Iran's military plans, these missiles also help to preserve the region's power balance.
