Report :
Advanced Tech: For the first time, Iran has utilized the Sejjil—a two-stage, solid-fuel ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 to 2,500 km.
Strategic Advantage: Unlike liquid-fuel missiles, the Sejjil can be stored fully fueled and launched on short notice, making it much harder to detect and preempt.
Capabilities: At 18 meters long and 23.6 metric tonnes, it carries a 700 kg payload capable of reaching all of Israel and US regional bases.
Campaign Scale: Since February 28, Iran has launched over 500 ballistic/naval missiles and 2,000 drones, despite an 86% reduction in its daily launch capacity due to US-Israeli strikes.
TWU Intelligence & Analysis: The deployment of the Sejjil on Day 16 suggests that Iran still possesses significant reserves of its most advanced survivable weaponry. Solid-fuel technology was one of the primary reasons Israel accelerated the war timeline; seeing it deployed now proves that Iran’s “most advanced” capabilities were not neutralized in the opening days of Operation Epic Fury.
