Simorgh, Emad to be exhibited in Bahman 22 rallies

Iran Ministry of Defense announced that Simorgh Launcher and precision-guided long-range Emad missile will be exhibited by Aerospace Industries Organization's experts (AIO) during Bahman 22 rallies.

Simorgh is an Iranian expendable small-capacity orbital carrier rocket, which was scheduled to make its maiden flight in 2010. It was unveiled by Iraninan President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on 3 February 2010, as part of celebrations of the first anniversary of the launch of Omid, the first indigenously-launched Iranian satellite.

Emad is an Iranian-designed, liquid-fuel, intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) with a claimed range of 1,700 km and 750 kg payload. The missile was presented by Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan on 11 October 2015. Emad features a newly designed reentry vehicle with a more advanced guidance and control system, making it the country’s first IRBM that is precision-guided.
