The Oryx Handbook of Iranian Ballistic Missiles and Artillery Rockets

By Stijn Mitzer

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.

Although a great deal of effort has been put into ensuring the accuracy of this list, any updates or corrections to this list are most welcome.
