Defense Brief: Iranian Missiles May Reach Europe in Escalating Situations
It is known that Iran possesses ballistic missiles capable of striking targets at distances of 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers. These include missiles such as "Khorramshahr," "Sejil," "Qadr," and "Emad." In addition, Iran also has cruise missiles with comparable ranges.
The "Shahed" and its improved versions of attack drones can fly over 1,000 kilometers, and in some cases—depending on the model and payload—can even reach 2,000 kilometers or more.
If calculated based on maximum strike range, the potential strike area would cover Southeast European countries—particularly Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece, as well as Ukraine. If systems with longer ranges are used, the radius may extend to other parts of Europe.
Certainly, the performance parameters stated are not always equivalent to actual combat capabilities, but the existence of such systems itself requires European countries to assess the risks and develop anti-missile defense systems.
