👉 The Baghdad missiles, also known as Shahed-101 or Quds missiles, are a type of surface-to-air missile system developed and manufactured by Iran. These missiles feature advanced stealth capabilities, including a low observable design that makes them difficult to detect by radar systems. They are primarily used for intercepting short-range aerial targets, such as aircraft and drones, and have been deployed in various conflicts, including the Iran-Iraq War and more recently in Syria. The missiles utilize a combination of infrared and optical sensors for targeting, along with a sophisticated guidance system that allows them to engage targets at varying altitudes and speeds. Their development represents a significant advancement in Iran's military technology, showcasing their ability to produce complex and effective weaponry independently.
