Shahab-3...
The Shahab-3 is Iran's medium-range ballistic missile with immense capabilities. Deriving its design from North Korea's Nodong-1, this powerhouse can strike within a range of 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers, contingent upon the payload weight. What's more, the latest iterations permit cluster munitions, enabling simultaneous assaults on multiple targets. It can soar to heights of 400 kilometers, racing through the skies at a velocity of 2.4 km per second.

Ghadr...
The Ghadr is a formidable medium-range ballistic missile, boasting ranges between 1,800 to 2,000 kilometers. Its terrifying speed sets it apart, as it hurtles through the air at Mach 9, equivalent to 11,113.2 km/hr. Categorized also as an anti-satellite missile and an IRBM, it relies on inertial guidance complemented by GPS navigation. Remarkably accurate, with a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of just 110 meters, this two-stage missile—combining liquid and solid fuel—is a behemoth at 15.5 meters in length.

Emad...
With steely precision, the Emad missile hails as a liquid-fueled medium-range ballistic missile. It measures 1.25 meters in diameter, housing a singular warhead weighing 750 kilograms. With a CEP standing at a mere 10 meters – nearly pinpoint accuracy – the Emad's reach extends to 1,700 kilometers. Notably, this missile features a maneuverable re-entry vehicle (MaRV), enhancing its flexibility in striking targets. Bearing similarities to the Shahab-3, the Emad has served in the Iranian military arsenal since 2016.
