When talking about the first use of the latest 25-ton Sejil missile, we noted that the Iranian armed forces have not yet used their full potential and that they have even heavier and longer-range missiles.
Last Tuesday, it became known that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as part of the 54th wave of Operation True Promise 4, hit the country's enemies with another new missile, Haj Qasem, named after General Qasem Soleimani, who was killed on January 3, 2020 by order of Trump.

When creating this weapon, the designers sought to make a compact but formidable weapon. And they did it. The mass of this development is only 7000 kilograms, and the length is 11 meters.
At the same time, it uses a detachable and controllable half-ton head unit. A solid-fuel rocket hits 1,400 km.

However, it is possible that the Iranians did not use the usual Haj Qasem, but an even more advanced version with an optoelectronic homing head, which has even greater accuracy.
