New Delhi: The air raid on Jerusalem continued on Monday amid a barrage of ballistic missiles from Iran. Sunday’s Salvo targeted Ben Gurian Airport, a Biological Research Center and several military command sites.
In particular, for the first time, Iran deployed the Khiberashekan missile, which is its most advanced homegron ballistic weapons, indicating to increase a new phase.
In a statement made by Tehran Times On Sunday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that it launched 40 Khiberashekan missiles for the first time as part of Operation True Promise 3, in which he was described as a third-generation solid and liquid-fuel ballistic missiles, with many varogic and advanced terminal guides systems.

IRGC said in a statement, “Iran’s original remains unused and future reactions will be even more decisive.”
The Missile Strike The Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan, a few hours after the United States launched a coordinated strike on three Iranian nuclear sites, indicated Washington’s direct military entry into the struggle.
Ten days ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, attacked major Iranian nuclear sites, and killed senior military officers and nuclear scientists. In vengeance, Iran began Operation True Promise, now in its third stage, was marked by large -scale deployment of ballistic missiles and drones, aimed at heavily to the aerial rescue of Israel through a sheer volume and continuous pressure.
Since then, many Iranian missiles have violated Israeli rescue. It is widely stated that Iran’s strategy is overshadowed by air defense systems through a sheer volume, launching together ballistic missiles and large years of drones to saturate air defense systems such as Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow -3. Even highly advanced systems can struggle to deal with such massive attacks, allowing some missiles to slip and reach through their goals.
Khibarshekan was first deployed
According to the Irani state media agency IRNA, Khiberashekan (which means “Castle-Breker”) missile Khoramshahar is a third generation system in the ballistic missile family. Its estimated range is 1,450 kilometers, which keeps most Israel well within access. Iran claims that the missile may take a 1,500 kg high-explosive warhead and contribute to high accuracy reported, the satellite navigation has a terminal guidance operated by navigation.
The missile is widely reported from North Korea’s Musudan Intermediate-Teenz Ballistic Missile (IRBM), with a theoretical range of 2,500 to 4,000 km. Analyst in American think tank, Strategic and international study centers (CSIS) suggests that Iran can reduce the true boundary of Khiberashekan, either due to design changes that prefer strategic mobility or to avoid provoking Europe. “I think they do not want to bother Europeans,” an American official said Fox News,
The missile uses a local liquid-fuel engine that is designed in a fuel tank to reduce size and increase hiding. It has been launched from mobile platforms and can be allegedly read within 15 minutes.
Its three-phase operation is directed by flight, in-flight mid-worker maneuver rear engine and a final atmospheric re-entry by secondary engines.
In addition, Iran claims that it maintains a speed of more than 8 (about 10,000 km/h) during the terminal phase, which is very difficult to interfere with systems such as Patriot or David’s sling.
Physically, the missile is about 13 meters long, 1.5 to 2 meters in diameter, and weighs between 19,000 and 26,000 kg at launch.
While Iran describes it as “several warheads”, it is widely explained that it refers to the right MIRV (many independently target re-entry vehicles) instead of the submayenIT or several re-entry vehicles (MRV) payloads rather than the technology.
Cluster Munishan vs Mirv vs Mrv
On Thursday, Israeli officials an email For news agency Roots It was claimed that a missile fired by Iran carried forward a cluster bomb warhead, spreading dozens of unexplained bombals in a civilian area near Central Israel.
Cluster sages are designed to increase the loss of the area by spreading several small submunitions or ‘bombals’ on a wide radius. However, they are wrong and notorious for high ‘dud rates’ (failure to act as intended), between 10 percent and 40 percent, according to, according to To the International Committee of Red CrossCitizens long -term risk to citizens.
On the other hand, the Mirv Warhead System is far more sophisticated. MIRV-Furnished Missiles carry several independently directed re-entry vehicles, each of which is capable of killing a different goal with high precision. Once the missile reaches space, an internal ‘bus’ exercise to leave each warhead at a separate trajectory.
So far, despite comprehensive claims, no Iranian missile has been confirmed by MIRV capacity, the nearest Iran has demonstrated that it is the MRV (Multiple Re-Antary Vehicle) System, which releases several warheads targeted in the same general area, but without individual target guidance.
Iran’s comprehensive ballistic missile inventory
according to a Report The UK -based Think Tank Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), Iran has combined both old and new platforms, from a wide range of its ballistic missile arsenal in the ongoing struggle. Allegedly used systems are short distance solid -fuel missiles such as Fateh -110 and Zolfagar, which are capable of affecting the target of 700 km from high accuracy and rapid launch time.
The paper indicates the deployment of RAAD-500 and diesful missiles, which is part of the accurately-directed solid-fuel systems of the new generation of Iran. RAAD-500 is one of the new generation solid-fuel missiles. It creates on the design of Fateh-110, but uses carbon overall materials to reduce structural weight and radar signature. This design improvement also increases its range by about 500 kilometers. RAAD-500 is equipped with a manoeuvrable re-entry vehicle (Marv), which increases its ability to avoid blocking the terminal phase.
The dejful missile unveiled in 2019 is also an extended-rage derivative of Zolfagar. It is reportedly a range of up to 1,000 kilometers and is the road-mobile, which allows for flexible launch options. Dezful is reported to be carrying 600–700 kg of warheads and uses solid propellant for quick launch time and better battlefield survival.
Short -range systems, such as Zolfagar and Fateh -110, have also been employed in the alleged ongoing conflict. These solid-fuel missiles are known for their relatively high accuracy and rapid deployment capacity, with a range of about 300 to 700 kilometers.
Among the platforms of the medium-grains, Shahab-3, a liquid-fuel missile with an estimated range of 1,300 km, has long been the cornerstone of Iran’s arsenal. Its more advanced version, Ghadr-110, expands the range of up to 2,000 kilometers and involves improving mobility and targeting.
Conversely, the Sejjil missile is a two-step, a solid-fuel MRBM, with a similar range of up to 2,000 kilometers, which is accompanied by low vulnerability for pre-strips due to its fuel type and mobile launch capabilities.
