Horremshehr combat debut? Iran applied against Isarail a rocket with a cassette warhead

To spread: During the shelling of Israel, Iran first used a ballistic missile equipped with a cassette combat unit. The missile warhead opened at an altitude of about 7 km and released up to 20 subbounds with a charge of about 2. 5 kg each. "One of the small ammunition was hit by a home in the central city of Azor, causing harm to the damage from a small rocket," said on June 19 at The Times of Israel, citing the rear of Israel's Defense Army command (IDF).

Commenting on the incident, the War Zone wrote that the elements of the cassette combat unit could be scattered within 16 kilometers. However, the type of rocket has not yet been officially confirmed, but the possible use of the medium-range rocket "Horremshshr-4" ("Habar") is discussed.

Experts say that in the past, Iran has already demonstrated cassette fighting units on the missiles of the Shahab-3 family, based on the North Korean Nodong, which, in turn, was developed on the basis of the Soviet R-17 Skad. It is possible that a modernized cassette BC could be installed on the new rocket with a similar principle of work.

Senior FDD Ben Ben Taleblu, Senior Fund Ben Taleblu Fund, has announced the cassette combat units for many years as a way to cause maximum damage to plane targets. The use of such ammunition against Israel, even a single one, can be a signal of expanding the capabilities of the Iranian missile program in a prolonged conflict. In recent days, Iran has also confirmed the use of advanced ballistic missiles "Emada" and "Gadr"-derivatives from "Shahab-3".

Independent sources confirm the presence of their debris in the territory of Israel after the strikes, including in the morning of June 20. Jeffrey Lewis, the head of the non -proliferation program in East Asia, wrote about the accuracy of this missile variant. "I rated the likely circular error (CEP) of the most accurate variant of the Shahab-3 missile," Emad ", demonstrated in March 2024 during the rocket stroke of Iran. The CEP estimate is about 1. 2 km.
