The Jihad missile (Persian: موشک جهاد) is the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps's (IRGC) latest medium-range, pinpoint ballistic missile, which was unveiled on September 21, 2024, at the Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces Parade. This all-Iranian missile was designed and manufactured by the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The structure and platform of the Jihad missile are similar to the Emad and Qiam missiles. One of the advantages of this missile is that it is deployed in two launchers, which increases the volume of fire and allows for firing in larger numbers with fewer launchers. This missile flies at low altitude and does not leave the atmosphere, which is why its detection and countermeasures in radar systems are delayed.[5][6][7][8]
