Ghadr-110

The Ghadr-110 or Qadr-110, (Persian: قدر-110, meaning "intensity") is a medium-range ballistic missile designed and developed by Iran as part of its missile program. The missile has a range of 1,800 km to 2,000 km. The Iranian Armed Forces first displayed the missile to the public at an annual military parade to mark the Iran–Iraq War. The Ghadr-110 is an improved version of the Shahab-3A, also known as the Ghadr-101. It is believed to have a liquid-fuel first stage and a solid-fuel second stage, which allows it to have a range of 1,500 km (930 mi).

This missile is produced in three types: "Qadr S" with a range of 1,350 km, "Qadr H" with a range of 1,650 km and "Qadr F" with a range of 1,950 km.

The Ghadr-110 has a higher maneuverability and a shorter set-up time than the Shahab-3; its set-up time is 30 minutes while the older Shahab-3 has a set-up time of several hours.
