Fattah-1Medium-range ballistic missile with maneuverable reentry vehicleSide: IranBuilt: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force / IranThe Fattah-1 is an Iranian medium-range ballistic missile unveiled by the IRGC Aerospace Force in 2023 and marketed by Iran as hypersonic. Independent missile analysts describe it more narrowly as a solid-fuel MRBM using a maneuverable reentry vehicle with a small post-boost motor, giving Iran a regional deep-strike weapon intended to complicate missile defenses.
SejjilRoad-mobile medium-range ballistic missileSide: IranBuilt: Aerospace Industries Organization / IranSejjil is an Iranian road-mobile, two-stage solid-propellant medium-range ballistic missile developed as a faster-launching alternative to Iran's older liquid-fueled Shahab-family systems. Open-source assessments credit it with roughly 2,000 km range, a heavy single warhead, and an operational role in Iran's long-range strike force, with 2026 reporting documenting IRGC use during Operation True Promise 4.
North Korean KN-23 / KN-24Road-mobile short-range ballistic missile familySide: RussiaBuilt: North Korean state arms industry; February 11 Plant attributed / North KoreaThe KN-23 and KN-24 are North Korean solid-fuel short-range ballistic missiles associated with the Hwasong-11 family. The KN-23 is a quasi-ballistic, Iskander-like system with an estimated range up to about 690 km, while the KN-24 is an ATACMS-like tactical ballistic missile assessed around 410 km. Their appearance in Russian strikes against Ukraine made them a documented example of North Korean missile proliferation into a high-intensity European war..jpg?width=480)
Haj QassemRoad-mobile solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missileSide: IranBuilt: Aerospace Industries Organization / Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics / IranHaj Qassem, also rendered Haj Qasem or Shahid Haj Qasem, is an Iranian road-mobile solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile in the Fateh-family design line. Public reference data gives it a roughly 1,400 km range and a 500 kg-class warhead, placing it among Iran's longer-range solid-propellant precision-strike systems for attacks on regional bases and cities..png?width=480)
Raad-500Short-range tactical ballistic missileSide: IranBuilt: Iranian defense industry / IRGC Aerospace Force / IranThe Raad-500 is an Iranian short-range tactical ballistic missile in the Fateh family, publicly unveiled by the IRGC in 2020 with a lighter composite solid-propellant motor, a reported 500 km range, and claimed precision improvements over earlier Fateh-110-derived systems.
Kheybar ShekanSolid-fuel medium-range ballistic missileSide: IranBuilt: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force / IranKheybar Shekan is an Iranian solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile associated with the IRGC Aerospace Force and intended for rapid-launch long-range strikes. Open-source assessments list it as a deployed 1,450 km-class system with a 450-600 kg payload, and Iran has used it in documented post-2024 missile strikes against Islamic State-linked targets in Syria and Israeli military targets.
