Shalamcheh (Persian: شلمچه) is an Iranian surface-to-air missile[1][2][3][4] claimed to be capable of destroying several sorts of modern fighter jets and drones. This missile is launched from the Mersad domestic air defense system.[5]
Shalamcheh[6][7][8] is considered[9][10][11] a medium-range missile which can also be utilized as a short-range missile. It travels at the speed of Mach 3, is resistant to enemy electronic warfare,[12] and its average range is 40 kilometres.[13]
Military tests
On 5 May 2014, the army of Iran successfully test-fired Shalamcheh missile, where it shot down the Iranian domestic drone Karrar.[14]
In November 2018, air defense drills were held in the central, northern and western parts of Iran.[15]
