1. What is the missile system designation?Sejjil
2. What is the country of origin and development?Iran
3. Why does Iran use solid fuel for the Sejjil instead of liquid fuel?Solid fuel is pre‑packed, so the missile can be ready to launch much faster than liquid fuel, which must be filled right before launch. This makes the missile more ready for quick response.
4. How far can the Sejjil missile travel?The Sejjil is a medium‑range missile, meaning it can reach targets that are far away but not as far as intercontinental missiles. It can travel many hundreds of miles.
