Beyond the 2000 km range limit, Iranian IRBMs

Samenvatting

Iran officially limits the range of its ballistic missiles
to 2000 km. However, Iran claims that its
Khorramshahr missile can achieve this with a 1500-
1800 kg payload. This implies that, with a reduced
payload, its range could exceed the 3000 km threshold
to be classified as an IRBM. Furthermore, in April
2020, Iran launched the Qased Satellite Launch
Vehicle. Based on publicly available information and
analysis of photographs and video material,
parameters of both missiles have been derived. These
are used in trajectory simulations. Results show that
the Khorramshahr’s claimed performance is
theoretically possible and it could be an IRBM.
However, such a theoretical design is inconsistent with
the missile displayed by Iran. The performance
demonstrated by the Qased indicates that, if used as a
ballistic missile, its range could exceed 3000 km
