Iran’s operation “Wa’ad al-Sadiq 3” against Israel is ongoing, and as a result of Iranian attacks, 10 Israelis have been killed.
On the morning of Friday, June 13, Israel attacked various cities in Iran, to which Iran responded on Friday night with counterattacks and launched a barrage of ballistic missiles on Israel. Iran fired more than 200 missiles, resulting in the death of 10 Israelis and injuries to over 200.
Iran’s Missiles Count
According to a report by the Iranian news agency ISNA, Iran has 9 types of missiles with speeds ranging from 6,125 km/h to 17,151 km/h.
These ballistic missiles are: Sejjil, Kheibar, Emad, Shahab-3, Ghadr, Paveh, Fattah-2, Kheibar Shekan, and Haj Qasem.
Ghadr Missile
The Ghadr missile was introduced in 2005 and is an upgraded version of the Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missile, which Iran has possessed since 2003.
The Ghadr missile has been developed in three types:
- Ghadr-S, with a range of 1,350 km
- Ghadr-H, with a range of 1,650 km
- Ghadr-F, with a range of 1,950 km
The length of the Ghadr ballistic missile ranges between 15.86 and 16.58 meters, while its weight ranges between 15 and 17.5 tons.
Emad Ballistic Missile
The Emad ballistic missile is an upgraded version of the Ghadr, with the specialty of accurately striking its target. It was tested in 2015.
According to Iranian military officials, Emad has the capability of complete guidance and control until it hits the target, which makes it Iran’s first guided missile with pinpoint accuracy.
The Emad missile runs on liquid fuel, has a length of 15.5 meters, a weight of 1,750 kilograms, and a range of 1,700 kilometers.
Kheibar Shekan Missile
The Kheibar Shekan missile is a medium-range ballistic missile designed for strategic attacks and is considered a successful missile.
Both Kheibar Shekan-1 and Kheibar Shekan-2 variants reportedly have the ability to penetrate Israel’s modern air defense systems. With an approximate range of 1,450 kilometers (around 900 miles), the Kheibar Shekan can carry conventional or potentially non-conventional warheads, making it particularly distinct from other missiles.
