Solid-fuel missiles can be launched at a moment's notice...

On 12 November 2008, Iran test-fired a new two-stage solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) with a range of 2000 kilometers known as Sajjil. It demonstrates a significant leap in Iran's missile capabilities. The Sajjil is a high-speed missile manufactured at the Iranian Aerospace department of the Defence Ministry. This missile places Iran in the realm of multiple-stage missiles, which Iran is on the way to having intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capabilities. Launch video clearly shows a two-stage missile with a guidance system on the second stage and a triconic re-entry vehicle. Sajjil missile utilizes composite solid-propellant fuel and that unlike the Shahab-3 MRBM, which is launched only vertically, the Sajjil could be launched at a variable angle. Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Mustafa Mohammad Najjar hailed the launch of the Sajjil missile as "very fast". The ability of solid-fuel missiles to remain in storage for long periods, and then reliably launch at a moment's notice, makes them the design of choice for military applications.

  • Congratulations to Iranian brothers from Pakistan.

    They have each and every right to defend their land and people.

  • ayval Iran

    2 stage solid fuel is 1 step closer to an ICBM & 2 a more officiant SLV

    And all U haters be warned Iran has been able to achieve this in 30 years while being under sanctions & embargo's and after fighting an 8 year war

    and unlike Iran prior to the revolution u can't bomb these capabilities away so you better get used to it

    you wanna put more sanctions on us! fine, go ahead but this is the only thing your sanctions have lead to

    so bring it

see all

  • Pakistan is with you iran , long live the islamic nation of Iran 

  • A tremendous development for Iran.  Now a powerful potent enemy of Israel and US.

    Go go go Iran.Destroy these warfreaks, murderers and occupiers.

  • I am proud to be from Iran.

    long live Iran and the Iranian people.

    Down with USA's and zionist government of Israel. USA and Isarael don't want anything but war and killing of innocent people of the middle east. Strong Iranian army will stop them from attacking Iran. the regiem in Iran kills many people of Iran but if USA or Israel attack Iran it will cause death of millions.

    long live Iran and down with war lovers.

  • Alhamduliilah...keep it up...congratulations to the people of Iran..u have the right to defend ur country..from any invaders..

  • we BANGLADESHIs except a few heinous zionist feet lickers, rejoince at Iranian, Pakistani march towards defence capabilities ... General (Gazi) Kiyani had stopped the Indians (after their Mumbai Ordeal) coldly assuing retaliation within minutes ... that was GREAT!

  • truly! iran and pakistan moved ahead with their own decisions (though latter under pressure from yankees), they have matching strike-back capacity ... turkey danced to white western dictates ... only assemble Messy Furgusson tractors under license!

  • Long Live Islamic Republic of Iran!

    Down with united snakes of ass@s and the slaver west and their illegitimate pig zionistan!

  • AlJazeera is a zionist news agansi not to be trusted!!!!!!

  • Long Live Islamic Republic of Iran!

    Down with united snakes of ass@s and the slaver west and their illegitimate pig zionistan!

    At the time of the former puppet king, despite all scientific! collaborations with the united snakes, Iran had to import soap from west.

    Now, with 30 years of embargoes, Islamic Republic of Iran marks significant technological leaps in all fields.

    We owe it to Islam and the Islamic culture.
