The 240 mm unguided surface-to-surface rocket is very similar to the rocket used with the Russian 240 mm (12-round)
BM-24 system. The Falaq-1 has a
bore of 240 mm, and a weight of 111 kg, with the
warhead weighing 50 kg. The 240 mm spin-stabilised rockets have a maximum range of 10,000 m and are fitted with a nose-mounted fuze. Propellant used is of the solid double-base type. The rocket is mounted on a 4 × 4 jeep light cross-country vehicle which has six 240 mm rockets in the ready-to-launch position in a frame-type launcher on the rear. Its successor, the
Falaq-2, is a 333 mm-diameter rocket. ==Development==
