TheNaze'at 6-H andNaze'at 10-H/Mushak-120/Iran-130[2] (Persian:نازعات lit.Those Who Pull Out, in reference tothe angels who tear out the souls of the wicked) are twoIranian long-range artillery rockets with ranges of about 100 km. The Naze'at 10-H is larger, more powerful, and has a longer range than the Nazeat 6-H. Like Iran's similar shapedZelzal rockets, Naze'at rockets do not have a guidance system. Both systems are also widely known without the -H suffix, as theNaze'at 6 andNaze'at 10. The Iranians also have developed another 500 kg version called theMushak-160 with 160 km range.[2]
The Naze'at family was developed during the 1980s with Chinese assistance in an attempt to build an equivalent of theFROG-7 missile.[3]
The Naze'at is launched from atransporter erector launcher (TEL) and carries a conventional warhead, and potentially a chemical or biological one.[6] A complete Naze'at system includes a TEL and communications vans, meteorological vans, and a GPS system for surveying the launch site.[6] Both Naze'at rockets have a closing speed of Mach 4–5.[6] The reliability and accuracy of Naze'at rockets is assessed as poor.[6]
The Naze'at has fins for stabilization in flight and is believed to have aCEP of around 500–1000 m, which is considered poor.[3] There are multiple different TELs used for Naze'at rockets.[3]
