Iran has showcased a new ballistic missile named ‘Jihad’, developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, during a military parade in Tehran on Saturday.
The Jihad missile system was officially unveiled for the first time on Saturday, introducing a new launch platform for liquid-fueled missiles, according to Iranian government media and IRGC sources.
According to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim website, it is a ballistic missile with a range of 1,000 kilometers, featuring a dual-missile launcher that distinguishes it from other Iranian liquid-fueled missiles.
Tasnim stated, “A glance at the Jihad missile reveals that it is an optimized version of the Qiam missile, whose range was previously increased from 800 kilometers to 1,000 kilometers, and its warhead became guided.”
At a military parade in Tehran, Iran also showcased a new version of the “Shahed” drone — the Shahed-136B, which reportedly has a range of up to 4,000 kilometers.
