First of all, the ballistic missile it launched must include the Conqueror/Fateh-110 series ballistic missiles. The layout design of the Conqueror-110 series solid-fuel ballistic missiles basically unifies the Iranian short-range ballistic missile series. It should be noted that although liquid fuel ballistic missiles have a large range, they have a relatively easy technology, but their reaction time is slow, their storage is difficult, and their reliability is difficult to guarantee. In comparison, solid fuel missiles have inherent advantages. Iran's solid rocket started by imitating the Frog 7 rocket and developing the earthquake series rocket. It also learned ballistic missile guidance and control technology from the imported Chinese M-7 ballistic missile (Sam 2 modification, B610) missile. It finally developed the Conqueror 110 ballistic missile in 2001. The total length of the missile is 8.9 meters, the diameter of the missile is 0.61 meters, the bullet weighs 3.5 sections, the warhead weighs 500 kg, and the range is about 200 kilometers. It then continuously expanded the range from 250 kilometers to 300 kilometers, and finally to the 500 kilometers of Conqueror 313. This series almost all adopts the layout of the front triangular duck rudder surface + the rear triangular tail wing + the polygonal swept tail wing. There are many types of attack platforms. The guidance method has also developed from inertial guidance to various types such as satellite guidance, infrared terminal guidance, radar terminal guidance, and the strike accuracy has been reduced from 250 meters to about 5 meters, which can be called a complete transformation. The missile has also attacked US military bases in Iraq, showing very good strike accuracy, and even developed a Persian Gulf anti-ship ballistic missile. The US military was beaten and said it was effective.
In addition, judging from the latest released images, Iranian also invested the BM-120 ballistic missile, but this time the Iranians called it the precise guided rocket. The BM-120 ballistic missile uses a 6x6 civil truck chassis, with two rows of 6 square launch boxes at the rear, which can be launched at a 45° angle upward at the rear of the truck. The BM-120 missile has a diameter of 0.368 meters, a length of 5.175 meters, a total weight of 787 kilograms, a maximum flight speed of Mach 4, a range of 30 to 120 kilometers, and is equipped with a 150 kilogram high-explosive disc (HE-FRAG), a penetration or cluster warhead. The bullet adopts a pointed conical bullet + cylindrical bullet body design. Although its aerodynamic rudder surface is not very clear, it can still roughly see the layout of the front triangle duck rudder surface + rear triangle tail wing + polygonal swept tail wing. This layout is in line with the Conqueror-110 series and can be considered as its shrinking type. The BM-120 missile is about half smaller than the Conqueror-110 series. The Iranians claimed that the missile is guided by the Inertial Navigation (INS) + satellite navigation system , and the circular probability error (CEP) is less than 30 meters. In the strike video, some use air-detonation fuses to destroy the target, and some directly drill to the ground to strike. The strike accuracy is very good. The strike concrete building can make holes of 1.1 meters x 0.9 meters. Has certain single-cannon multi-target distributed precision strike capabilities.

This time, the Iranians also invested a large number of cruise missiles , which is the hottest witness (Shahed)-136 suicide drone/cruising missile on the battlefield in Russia and Ukraine. The Witness-136 drone adopts a flat-tail-free layout of the small aspect ratio delta wing. The cylindrical fuselage that fuses with the wing may rely on the full-span lifting aileron at the trailing edge of the wing to control flight and rely on the wing tip plate to maintain heading. Its material may be aluminum + composite material to reduce weight.The machine structure may be the fuze of the nose, the navigation control compartment and warhead, the fuel tank, the tail, and the two-stroke twin-cylinder piston engine + two-blade propeller. The aircraft is 3.5 meters long and has a wingspan of 2.5 meters. It is equipped with a 50-horsepower Iranian domestic MD550 engine, namely the Lynbahe L550 engine imitation version or the German 3W piston engine . Its cruising speed is 185 kilometers per hour and its range is 1800-2500 kilometers. Its total weight is 200 kilograms and its warhead weighs 50 kilograms. It can use explosion ruptures to destroy ground targets, and may use near-explosion or bump-fighting fuzes. Judging from its GPS/GLONASS+INS guidance method, the machine can only hit fixed targets. However, it is said that the aircraft also has the ability to temporarily indicate targets by cooperative migrators/migratory bird-6 detection and attack integrated drone, so it has attacked outdated targets on the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine.
The last time the US military retaliated and shot down was a Mohajer-6 medium-sized drone, a new modification of the Mohajer (Migrant) drone family, designed by Qods (Quds) Aviation Industry Corporation. This video released by the Iranians may also be the drone using pod to indicate the target. The aircraft was first unveiled at a ceremony attended by the Iranian president on April 15, 2017. It began mass production and supply of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in February 2018, and exported it to Ethiopian , Venezuelan , Iraqi Shiites, and Yemeni Houthi armed forces in Iraqi , Syria and other places. The Mohajer-6 UAV is 7.5 meters long, with a wingspan of 10 meters, a height of 1.9 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 670 kilograms, a payload of 150 kilograms, a flight ceiling of 5,486 meters, a maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour, a range of 12 hours, a bullet-mounted 5 hours, a combat radius of 200 kilometers, and a range of 2,400 kilometers. The Mohajer-6 drone uses a rectangular body with a wide and sharp tip. This drone is powered by a 3-blade 100-horsepower Rotax 912 piston engine. There is a parachute compartment installed below the fuselage. If necessary, it can open the parachute and land for emergency landing. It uses manual landing to save costs. It can carry with 4 Sadid-342 bombs with a range of about 3 kilometers, or 2 Sadid-345s with a range of about 3 kilometers, or 4 Qaem-1 bombs with a range of about 6 kilometers, or 4 Qaem5/9 missiles with a range of about 12 kilometers.

Of course, there are also reports that the Iranians used cruise missile . The author believes that it is impossible. After all, there are photos of the ballistic missile trails on the Internet, and multi-barrel rocket launcher has a strike screen, but there is no picture of the cruise missile attack. After all, cruise missiles can be photographed, and there is no reason that such a large cruise missile cannot be photographed. Besides, it is a waste to hit a 400-kilometer target by cruise missiles. It can be seen that the weapons adopted by Iran this time are very suitable for retaliatory strikes, and their accuracy is sufficient to meet the positions and targets of 42 terrorists in the Kurdish Autonomous Region. The concentrated use of two weapons of different speeds has achieved shocking results, and the performance of the weapon was also tested. Of course, these weapons cannot be removed from the Kurdish armed forces, and they can only exhale the anger that was previously foul!
