The Emad is Iran's first precision-guided ballistic missile — a Ghadr airframe with a maneuvering reentry vehicle, ~1,700 km range. It has flown in every True Promise salvo against Israel since April 2024, and the 2026 war gutted the launcher force and factories that field it.
Iran's solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile — quick to launch, road-mobile, and tipped with a maneuvering warhead that jinks in its final seconds to dodge interceptors. It flew in Iran's 2024 barrages on Israel, and its booster later seeded the Fattah-1.
Iran's first solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile — a two-stage, road-mobile MRBM fielded by the IRGC, with a ~2,000 km range and a short-notice launch capability that marks a step beyond liquid-propellant Shahab derivatives.
Iran's heaviest liquid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile family, derived from the North Korean Musudan, carrying large conventional warheads or submunitions out to ~2,000 km and assessed capable of 3,000 km with a lighter payload — a centrepiece of IRGC strategic strike and the subject of.
China's road-mobile DF-17 marries a medium-range ballistic missile booster to the DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle — a maneuvering, low-altitude payload built to outwit missile defenses and hit fixed high-value targets at 1,800–2,500 km.
