Fateh-313 ballistic missile

Also known as
  • Conqueror-313

The Fateh-313 is an Iranian road-mobile, solid-fueled short-range ballistic missile built by the Aerospace Industries Organization as an upgraded Fateh-110 derivative. Open-source assessments say Iran likely used it against U.S. forces in Iraq during the January 2020 phase of the 2020 United States-Iran Conflict, and CSIS says Iran later displayed a closely related Raad-500 follow-on.

Source reporting connects Qiam-type missiles to Iranian strikes in Syria against Islamic State targets and to the January 2020 Ayn al-Asad attack, while modified Qiam/Qiam-2 attribution remains analyst-dependent rather than an official Iranian model name.
