240mm Fadjr 3

The Fadjr-3 is an Iranian heavy multiple rocket launcher system designed to deliver a large volume of fire against area targets. It fires twelve 240mm unguided rockets from a truck-mounted launcher.

Developed by Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization in the late 1980s with technical assistance from North Korea, the Fajr-3 was created to establish domestic self-sufficiency in long-range artillery following the Iran-Iraq War. The system officially entered service with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in 1996. It saw significant combat deployment during the 2006 Lebanon War, where Hezbollah forces fired these rockets into northern Israel, and has since been used in the Syrian Civil War. Today, the Fajr-3 remains in active service as a key component of Iran's regional deterrence strategy and asymmetric warfare doctrine.
