Iran Makes Its Ballistic Missile More Dangerous (PHOTO)
Experts have identified signs of modernization in Iran's ballistic missile 'Kheibar Shekan': improved satellite navigation and a maneuvering warhead. This could increase accuracy and complicate interception. The missile's range is about 1,450 km, covering all of Israel's territory. There is no official confirmation.
Experts have drawn attention to new design elements in Iran's ballistic missile 'Kheibar Shekan' that could significantly enhance its combat capabilities. According to preliminary assessments, the missile has received an improved satellite navigation system resistant to jamming, as well as a maneuvering warhead. This combination of technologies could increase targeting accuracy and reduce the effectiveness of electronic warfare measures used to counter ballistic missiles. 'Kheibar Shekan' is considered one of Iran's most advanced solid-fuel ballistic missiles. According to open sources, its range reaches about 1,450 kilometers, allowing it to strike targets across all of Israel. The use of solid fuel shortens launch preparation time, complicating detection and destruction of the missile before launch. Of particular concern is the suspected maneuvering warhead, capable of changing its flight path in the terminal phase, complicating the work of missile defense systems. The design of the navigation system's antenna resembles elements of military satellite navigation systems used by China, which may indicate the use of similar technological solutions, although there is no official confirmation. If the modernization information is confirmed, 'Kheibar Shekan' could become an even more challenging target for existing air and missile defense systems.
