The Falaq-1 missile is an Iranian made rocket system.

Design

The 240 mm unguided surface-to-surface rocket is very similar to the rocket used with the Russian 240 mm (12-round) BM-24 system. The Falaq-1 has a bore of 240 mm, and a weight of 111 kg, with the warhead weighing 50 kg. The 240 mm spin stabilised rockets have a maximum range of 10,000 m and are fitted with a nose-mounted fuze. Propellant used is of the solid double-base type. The rocket is mounted on a 4 × 4 jeep light cross-country vehicle which has six 240 mm rockets in the ready-to-launch position in a frame type launcher on the rear.

The Falaq-1 has a maximum range of 10 km. It weighs 113 kg and carries a 50 kg explosive warhead.[1] Its successor, the Falaq-2, is a 333 mm-diameter rocket. It weighs 255 kg with a 120 kg warhead that holds 60 kg of explosives.[2]

Development

The system was developed in the 1990s by Shahid Bagheri Industrial Group, which is part of the Aerospace Industries Organization.[3]

Deployment

There is extensive evidence Falaq-1 rockets have been used in the Syrian civil war.[3]

On 26 January 2024, Hezbollah claimed for the first time to have used the Falaq-1 in an attack against the Israel Defense Forces as part of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict during the Israel-Hamas war.[1]
