Weapons of Iran

From the author of COTS and the Battlefield: The Rise of Off-the-Shelf Military Robotics and Tactical Robotics: The Age of Drone Warfare comes Weapons of Iran — the definitive, system-by-system study of Tehran's modern military arsenal and the industrial ecosystem that sustains it.

This rigorous yet accessible volume walks the reader through the full spectrum of Iran's capabilities: strategic and tactical missiles (from the Shahab and Sejjil families to Emad and Khorramshahr), cruise and anti-ship systems (including Soumar and Qader types), the nation's rapidly evolving UAV and loitering-munition fleets (the Mohajer, Shahed and heavier MALE platforms), coastal and naval innovations, air-defence architectures, armored formations, artillery and rockets, and the small-arms and support weapons that equip Iran's infantry.

Rooted in technical detail but framed for policy-makers, analysts, and informed readers, Weapons of Iran explains propulsion and guidance engineering, indigenous production methods, and the strategic logic that ties latent nuclear and missile capabilities to deterrence doctrine. The book also examines how sanctions, reverse engineering, and a decentralized defence-industrial base produce resilient, fieldable systems — often surprising in their ingenuity and effectiveness.

Authoritative, timely, and unflinching, Weapons of Iran is the essential reference for anyone seeking to understand one of the Middle East's most consequential military build-ups. Order your copy today.
