rockets, Naze'at rockets do not have a guidance system. Both systems are also widely known without the -H suffix, as the Naze'at 6 and Naze'at 10. The Iranians also have developed another 500 kg version called the Mushak-160 with 160 km range.


History

The Naze'at family was developed during the 1980s with Chinese assistance in an attempt to build an equivalent of the FROG-7 missile.

(TEL) and carries a conventional warhead, and potentially a chemical or biological one. A complete Naze'at system includes a TEL and communications vans, meteorological vans, and a GPS system for surveying the launch site. Both Naze'at rockets have a closing speed of Mach 4–5. The reliability and accuracy of Naze'at rockets is assessed as poor.Anthony H. Cordesman, Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy (July 14, 2006) ''Lebanese Security and the Hezbollah''. Working Draft. The Naze'at has fins for stabilization in flight and is believed to have a CEP of around 500–1000 m, which is considered poor.Galen Wright (March 15th 2011) ''Iranian Military Capability 2011 – Ground Forces'' There are multiple different TELs used for Naze'at rockets.
