Iran has reportedly deployed the Sejjil Ballistic Missile for the first time in active combat during a military operation against positions linked to the United States and Israel.
The Sejjil is an indigenous two-stage medium-range ballistic missile developed by Iran’s aerospace industries.
The missile has an operational range of about 2,000 km and can carry a warhead of around 700 kg.
The missile is nicknamed the “dancing missile” because it can perform evasive manoeuvres, making interception by missile defence systems difficult.
