==Characteristics==
The Khaibar-1 is a rocket with a range capability of 100 kilometers when carrying a payload weighing 150 kilograms. This projectile is generally armed with large warheads designed for anti-personnel effects. It measures 6.3 meters in length, has a body diameter of 0.302 meters, and a launch weight of approximately 750 kilograms. The launch apparatus consists of a two-tiered structure, with each layer comprising three firing tubes. The Khaibar-1, while being unguided, boasts greater accuracy compared to the majority of locally produced rockets utilized by Hezbollah and Hamas. It also benefits from enhanced storage options due to its increased durability. Unlike the Fajr-5, the Khaibar-1 does not employ a spin mechanism during flight, which may affect its precision adversely.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://missilethreat.csis.org/country/hezbollahs-rocket-arsenal/ |title=Missiles and Rockets of Hezbollah |date=August 10, 2021 |access-date=November 5, 2023}}</ref>

The Khaibar-1 (Arabic: خيبر-1), also known as the Khyber-1, M-302,[1] B-302[2] and the R160[3] is a Syrian-made 302 mm[4] unguided artillery rocket. It is best known for being used by Hezbollah against targets in northern Israel during the 2006 Lebanon War, and has also been used in the Syrian Civil War. It is a derivative of the Chinese WS-1 rocket.[1]

The Khaibar-1 is significant because the rocket has a 100 km range,[5][6] longer than the BM-21 Grad rockets that make up most of the Hezbollah rocket force. It uses a unique Syrian-designed launcher and possibly a cluster munition[7] or fragmentation warhead.[8][9] The rocket is easily recognizable by its fixed tail fins. In its M-302 incarnation, it is capable of 150km range.[10]

The rocket is often misidentified as Iranian[11][12] or as a variant of Iranian Fajr-3[8] or Fajr-5 rockets.[13]

Hamas claims to be able to manufacture its own version of the M-302, named the R-160, named after one of its former leaders Abdel Aziz Al Rantisi.[3]

Characteristics

[edit]

The Khaibar-1 is a rocket with a range capability of 100 kilometers when carrying a payload weighing 150 kilograms. This projectile is generally armed with large warheads designed for anti-personnel effects. It measures 6.3 meters in length, has a body diameter of 0.302 meters, and a launch weight of approximately 750 kilograms. The launch apparatus consists of a two-tiered structure, with each layer comprising three firing tubes. The Khaibar-1, while being unguided, boasts greater accuracy compared to the majority of locally produced rockets utilized by Hezbollah and Hamas. It also benefits from enhanced storage options due to its increased durability. Unlike the Fajr-5, the Khaibar-1 does not employ a spin mechanism during flight, which may affect its precision adversely.[14]

Origin of the name

[edit]

Khaibar, also spelled Khaybar, is an oasis approximately 95 miles north of Medina, which was once the largest Jewish settlement in Arabia. The name was chosen as a reminder of the Battle of Khaybar, a battle that took place in 629 between Muhammad and his followers against the Jewish people who inhabited the settlement. The name of the rocket was first revealed on July 28, 2006 by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a speech on Al-Manar television station.

Usage

[edit]

The rocket's first use was being fired at the town of Afula during the 2006 Lebanon War. In early August 2006, Khaibar-1 rockets were reported to hit Beit Shean, about 70 km south of the Lebanese border,[15] Hadera,[16] and Haifa, Israel's third-largest city.[17]

Iran has attempted to ship the Khaibar-1 rocket to Gaza as well.[1] 28 rockets to the according distination 5ddbe83j8twhw9gw
