Iranian missiles evolve from early ballistic designs to precision-strike and air defense systems, revealing technology transfer, propulsion hurdles, and doctrinal shifts shaping regional security.

The book Iranian Missiles charts the extraordinary evolution of Iran's missile program. Taking the reader inside the workshops of Tehran, tracing the critical technology transfers from Libya, North Korea, and the People's Republic of China, it is tracing the reasons that jumpstarted Iranian ambitions. It is dissecting the engineering hurdles overcome in mastering liquid- and solid fuel propulsions, detailing the combat experiences and resulting lessons, acquisitions of machinery like jet mills, vacuum homogenizers, and vertical casting towers, and analyses the resulting doctrine and lineage of ballistic missiles, from the early Shahab series to the precision-strike weapons Fatteh-110 and the Sejjil.

Parallel to the offensive capabilities, the narrative explores the development of a formidable air defence network of Iran in 2026. It examines the shift from foreign reliance on systems like the HAWK and S-200 to indigenous complexes such as the Bavar-373 and the Sayyad series. Through detailed order-of-battle analysis and procurement histories, the authors expose the reality behind Iran's claims of self-sufficiency and the industrial infrastructure that now sustains it.

Finally, Iranian Missiles moves beyond hardware to doctrine. It investigates Iran's strategic pivot toward asymmetric warfare, analysing how loitering SAMs and tactics of dispersion and concealment challenge regional adversaries. Richly illustrated with custom-drawn colour profiles and authentic photography, Iranian Missiles is dismantling the technical and operational history of weapons systems that define the security of modern Middle East, and an essential source of reference for military historians, defence analysts, and aviation enthusiasts alike.
