Fajr-3 (artillery Rocket)
The Fajr-3 (rarely Fadjr-3) () is an Iranian heavy 240 mm intermediate-range multiple-launch artillery rocket (MLRS). The Fajr-3 is a license-built copy, with slight modifications, of a North Korean MLRS called the M-1985. The Fajr-3 was introduced in the 1990s and has since been exported to Syria, Hamas and Hezbollah. The Fajr-3 launcher fires twelve 5.2 meter long, 240 millimeter-calibre Fajr-3 artillery rockets, with a range of 43 kilometres, weighing 407 kilograms each and carrying 90-kilogram fragmentation warheads with 45 kg of high explosive (HE). ''Fajr'' means 'dawn' in Arabic language, Arabic. History During the Iran–Iraq War, around 100 North Korean M-1985 MLRS systems were exported to Iran. The North Korean M-1985 was derived from Soviet Katyusha rocket launcher, Katyushas, and so the Fajr-3 is sometimes considered a Katyusha too. With North Korean assistance, Iran's state-run Shahid Bagheri Industries later began to produce the system under license.''Iran's Ball ...

Operation Dawn 3
Operation Dawn 3 or Operation Valfajr-3 (Persian: عملیات والفجر-۳) was an operation during the Iran–Iraq War. The operation was launched in the range of "semi-extensive operation" located in the general area of Mehran (in Ilam Province); and eventually led in the liberation of Mehran by Iranian forces. Iran's goals of the operation were as follows: * Liberation of Mehran city from the eye/range of the enemy * Making facility in the relation of "Dehloran– Mehran" and also " Ilam–Mehran" * Modulation of defense lines against the enemy (Iraq), and pulling it from the heights to plain(s). It was Iran's worst defeat out of all the Dawn operations. Around 180,000 Iranian troops participated in this offensive, which targeted the central front in the region of Mehran. However, withering Iraqi firepower in support of deeply entrenched troops slaughtered the advancing Iranians. Although Iranian troops were highly motivated, they were poorly trained and equipped for thi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
