Falaq-1

The 240 mm unguided surface-to-surface rocket is very similar to the rocket used with the Russian 240 mm (12-round) BM-24 system. The Falaq-1 has a bore of 240 mm, and a weight of 111 kg, with the warhead weighing 50 kg. The 240 mm spin-stabilised rockets have a maximum range of 10,000 m and are fitted with a nose-mounted fuze. Propellant used is of the solid double-base type. The rocket is mounted on a 4 × 4 jeep light cross-country vehicle which has six 240 mm rockets in the ready-to-launch position in a frame-type launcher on the rear.

Its successor, the Falaq-2, is a 333 mm-diameter rocket.

The system was developed in the 1990s by Shahid Bagheri Industrial Group, which is part of the Aerospace Industries Organization.{{cite web |title=ARES Research Report No.2: Iranian Falaq-1 and Falaq-2 Rockets in Syria - Armament Research |url=http://armamentresearch.com/ares-research-report-no-2-iranian-falaq-1-and-falaq-2-rockets-in-syria/ |website=armamentresearch.com |publisher=Armament Research Services |access-date=1 August 2019 |ref=ARES-report|author1=N.R.

There is extensive evidence Falaq-1 rockets have been used in the Syrian civil war.

On 26 January 2024, Hezbollah claimed for the first time to have used the Falaq-1 in an attack against the Israel Defense Forces as part of the Israel–Hezbollah conflict during the Gaza war.{{cite news |title=Le Hezbollah annonce l'utilisation d'un nouveau type de missiles, Falaq 1 |url=https://www.lorientlejour.com/article/1365831/le-hezbollah-annonce-lutilisation-dun-nouveau-type-de-missiles-falaq-1.html |access-date=28 January 2024 |work=L'Orient Le Jour |date=2023-01-26 |language=French}}
