A photo of the internal PCB of a downed Iranian ballistic missile, showing a basic green circuit board with SMD components such as MOSFETs and connectors, possibly used for servo or fuel management.

The missile, despite its simple structure, remains effective—and cheaper than comparable U.S. missiles—aligning with findings from asymmetric warfare research. According to RAND Corporation analysis, low-cost, rugged electronic systems can increase deployment speed by 3 to 5 times. This design highlights Iran's approach of sacrificing complexity for reliability under resource constraints.
