The Oryx Handbook of Iranian Ballistic Missiles and Artillery Rockets

By Stijn Mitzer and Joost Oliemans

Notes:

- If several configurations of a missile, rocket or launcher are known, they are added as such.

- The part within the apostrophes refers to other designations or an unofficial designation.

- When available, the date of inception and range are added. As this list mostly relies on data reported by Iranian sources, the date of inception and range should be used as a rough indication rather than a precise estimate.
