Iran's Missile Build Up
Brigadier General Ali Balali, an adviser to the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, said Iran’s missile industry began during the Iran-Iraq War with help from Syria and Libya. Iran sent 13 people to train in operating Scud missiles and received two launchers and 30 missiles from Libya. After cooperation with Libya ended, Iranian experts relied on their own capabilities and launched the first Iranian-made Scud missile on January 11, 1987. Balali added that the missiles’ range had grown from around 300 to 2,000 kilometers, while their margin of error had fallen from about 20 kilometers to less than five meters. He also noted the development of specialized missiles, including the 500-kilometer-range anti-ship Persian Gulf missile and the Hormuz missile, designed to target radar systems.
