Meanwhile, as the Americans strut their nuclear submarine in the Persian Gulf, the IRGC Aerospace Force conducted their own show of force today. They exercised their first multiple ballistic launch since 2005 and introduced a new loitering drone. The test distance for the missiles from 700 to 1000 km. All told, they launched 17 ballistic missiles of varying types.

This is likely a short range ballistic missile which may/may not have a separable warhead. The effect of terminal phase guidance on the movement and accuracy of the missiles is evident. Five small targets and five missiles. The circular error probability is under 50m by the looks of it.

In the first video at the top of this post, you can see four flying in a tight formation. Advanced AI flight control according to the Iranians.
