【Iran's First Combat Use of "Mushu" Missile to Strike Israel】
According to a report from "The Times of Israel," Iran used the "Mushu" missile for the first time in its recent attack on Israel. This missile, designed with solid fuel, has a range of 2000 kilometers and is capable of rapid launch and mobile deployment, considered an important indicator weapon of Iran's missile combat power.
Israeli media stated: Iran has been developing the "Mushu" missile for a long time, having publicly tested it as early as 2008. After that, it gradually established deployment capabilities. "Mushu" is one of the few solid-fuel missiles developed by Iran, and is seen as an important achievement in Iran's transition from liquid fuel to solid fuel missiles.
Different from the earlier "Shahab" series using liquid fuel, solid-fuel missiles can remain on launch vehicles for a long time, have shorter preparation time for launch, and are easier to improve the concealment and battlefield survivability through mobile deployment.
It is known that this missile is equipped with a high-explosive warhead, which can reach hypersonic speed when entering the atmosphere, increasing the difficulty of interception by the enemy.
The use of the "Mushu" missile by Iran to strike Israel has significant implications. It not only means that this missile has been put into combat but also represents that Iran has begun to use higher-range and more powerful strategic weapons.
Notably, previously, the Iranian military had clearly stated that they were just clearing inventory, and there were still many "treasures" unused. Now, after two weeks, the "Mushu" missile was finally deployed, which exactly verified this statement. From another perspective, Iran's combat endurance is beyond imagination, and this war is unlikely to end in the short term.
