The recordWhat this system is, where it comes from, who operates it and which of Vigil’s modules it is relevant to — with the evidence each of those rests on.
Record
Conflict relevance
This is the catalogue's single record for this system. It is relevant to the module below; each module's Force Atlas shows how it is used there.
Operators
Iran and the Gulf: Fired by the Revolutionary Guard's Aerospace Force in the retaliation of June 2025 and throughout the war that began in February 2026. · Ansar Allah (Houthi movement): Derivatives of the family are reported in Houthi hands under local names; the degree of transfer as against local assembly is disputed.
Battlefield role
Volume precision strike against fixed targets within regional range — bases, energy infrastructure, cities — in salvos sized to exhaust the defences facing them.
Strengths
Solid fuel and road mobility, which make the launchers hard to find and fast to use; domestic production at a scale that has sustained thousands of launches; and successive guidance improvements whose accuracy Iran claims and independent assessment partly confirms.
Limitations
Short range confines them to the Gulf and the near region; the newer precision variants are fewer than the old ones; and the production base that makes them is the campaign's principal target set, with United States claims of its destruction carried here as claims. Effect is known through launch counts, not impact counts.
Documented conflict use
Iranian strikes on Iraqi bases hosting United States forces in January 2020 and the retaliation of June 2025 and 2026 are the documented cases; the Gulf-wide launch aggregate for February–May 2026 lives on the campaign record, not here.
