Iranian Missile & Drone Arsenal Tracker
Iran possesses the largest and most diverse missile arsenal in the Middle East, with an estimated 2,500 ballistic missiles and 3,500 drones/cruise missiles at the start of the conflict. Despite coalition strikes targeting production facilities, Iran continues manufacturing approximately 3.3 ballistic missiles and 6.7 drones per day.

Key Arsenal Highlights
- Shahab-3: Iran's most numerous MRBM with ~500 units and 1,300km range. Liquid-fueled Nodong derivative — the backbone of Iran's ballistic threat.
- Sejjil-2: 300 solid-fueled MRBMs with 2,000km range. Faster launch prep than liquid-fueled variants makes them harder to preempt.
- Fattah-2: Only ~30 units but claimed Mach 13+ hypersonic glide vehicle. Potentially capable of evading current interceptor systems.
- Shahed-136: 3,000+ low-cost ($35K) delta-wing drones with 2,500km range. Mass-produced for attrition warfare — the cost-imposition weapon.
- Khorramshahr-4: Iran's heaviest MRBM (1,500kg warhead, 3,000km range). Only ~50 units but capable of carrying unconventional payloads.
Production Capacity
Iran's distributed manufacturing network spans dozens of facilities, many underground or hardened. Pre-war production capacity was approximately 3.3 ballistic missiles and 6.7 drones per day. Coalition strikes have targeted key facilities but Iran's dispersed production model limits the impact of individual strikes. Shahed drone production has proven particularly resilient due to simple manufacturing requirements and multiple production lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many missiles does Iran have?
Iran started the conflict with approximately 2,500 ballistic missiles and 3,500 drones/cruise missiles. Key systems include 500 Shahab-3, 300 Sejjil-2, 3,000+ Shahed-136 drones, and 30 Fattah-2 hypersonic missiles.
How fast can Iran produce new missiles?
Iran produces approximately 3.3 ballistic missiles and 6.7 drones per day. Shahed-136 drone production is particularly resilient due to simple manufacturing and distributed facilities.
What is Iran's most dangerous missile?
The Fattah-2 hypersonic glide vehicle (claimed Mach 13+, ~30 units) is potentially the most dangerous as it may evade current interceptors. The Khorramshahr-4 (1,500kg warhead, 3,000km range) is the heaviest conventional threat.
What is the Shahed-136 drone?
A low-cost ($35K) delta-wing loitering munition with 2,500km range. Iran has 3,000+ units. Its low cost creates a 120:1 cost-exchange ratio when intercepted by PAC-3 ($4.2M), making it Iran's primary cost-imposition weapon.
