I'm surprised but then not really. Iranian rocket technology is advanced but their economy is so bad that they may never mass produce these in sufficient numbers.

Iran can mass produce these like cookies

Iran sent 1,000 Shahed-136 drones to Russia already, total order 2,400 with some produced locally by Russia, don't worry about mass production

That photo is not from Iran looks like Lebanon or Palestine

economy is so bad that they may never mass produce these in sufficient numbers.

Iran economy is bad because Iranian $$$ and oil is spent in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Syria to feed and equip 4 nations ..so Iran has to carry 4 other nations in the name of Islamic unity while Iranian population has to watch helpless and wonder why their wealth is being spent on other nations!!.

wonder what the range of system would be as its warhead probably would be heavier than a normal fajr-5

You know is it just me but I’m more interested in the launcher looks different from older launchers of fajr series, but I can’t zoom in enough to see it.

What is the range of this rocket??? Is its a MRLS brother????

Range of normal Fajr-5c is 130km (two stage extended range version is 180km). Presume this warhead can be installed on both versions, range should be pretty similar. Yes, it's MLRS.

Fajr-5c and Fath-360 is a deadly combination and provides significant tactical firepower.
