The Sejjil Threat: Tehran Deploys High-Speed Solid-Fuel Missile in Latest Barrage on the Center
Iran launched an advanced Sejjil ballistic missile at central Israel today. The solid-fuel, two-stage missile features a 2,000 km range and rapid launch speed.
Reports from Iran indicate that the missile launched toward central Israel within the last hour was a Sejjil, one of the most advanced ballistic missiles in the Iranian arsenal.
This deployment marks a significant escalation as Iran begins to utilize its more sophisticated systems alongside the ongoing barrages.
Technical Specifications of the Sejjil Missile:
* Two-Stage Propulsion: Operates on solid fuel, making it more stable and easier to handle.
* Extended Range: Capable of reaching targets up to 2,000 km away.
* Rapid Deployment: Due to its solid-fuel engine, it requires a much shorter launch preparation time compared to older liquid-fuel models.
* High Performance: It is considered faster and more accurate than earlier ballistic models in the Iranian inventory.
The use of the Sejjil indicates a strategic shift by Tehran, moving toward high-tier weaponry. This launch was part of the "54th wave" of attacks directed at Israeli population centers.
