The Shahin-1 and Shahin-2 are Iranian road-mobile truck mounted short-range fin-stabilized unguided 333 mm Artillery rockets. [3] It was designed to be a cost-effective unguided rocket to destroy enemy troop concentrations, installations and fortifications at medium ranges. [2] [3] The rocket has been replaced in production by more capable artillery rockets however it is still in active uses. [3]
Characteristics
In general both rockets are steel body unguided 333 mm 190 kg explosive fin stabilized rockets having seven nozzles with limited accuracy and assembling times of several minutes. [3] They both are launched from unarmoured triple rail launchers. [3]
Shahin-1
It is an unguided 2.9 m long 384 kg 190 kg high explosive 333 mm rocket with a range of 13 km. [3] The rocket had forest green colour with two green, one red and one white stripe, its nose is itself painted white and red. [2]
Shahin-2
It is an unguided 3.9 m long 530 kg 190 kg high explosive 333 mm rocket with a range of 20 km. [3] It had a white painted body with two sets of green, white, and red stripes; on its warhead, it had red fins. [2] It can also be used as an air-to-surface missile. [2]
