Rocket Speed Simulator

Watch Iranian munitions race from launch sites in Iran toward Israel in real time (accelerated). Ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and slow-flying Shahed drones all travel at vastly different speeds. An Airbus A380 is included for civilian scale.

Simulation Controls
Tehran → Tel Aviv — ~1,600 km
T+00:00:00
Ballistic Missile (~Mach 8)
Cruise Missile (~900 km/h)
Shahed UAV (~185 km/h)
Airbus A380 (~900 km/h)
Approximate Real-World Travel Times — Tehran to Tel Aviv (~1,600 km)
Munition / Vehicle Approx. Speed Mach Travel Time
Kheibar Shekan (MRBM) ~9,800 km/h ~Mach 8 ~10 minutes
Emad / Ghadr (MRBM) ~7,350 km/h ~Mach 6 ~13 minutes
Paveh Cruise Missile ~900 km/h ~Mach 0.7 ~1 hr 47 min
Shahed-136 UAV ~185 km/h ~Mach 0.15 ~8 hr 39 min
Airbus A380 (reference) ~900 km/h ~Mach 0.73 ~1 hr 47 min
Relative Travel Time Comparison
Kheibar Shekan
~10 min
Emad / Ghadr
~13 min
Paveh Cruise
~1h 47m
A380 (civilian)
~1h 47m
Shahed-136 UAV
~8h 39m

Note: Distances and speeds are approximate and based on open-source reporting. The simulation models straight-line distance (~1,600 km from Tehran to Tel Aviv). Actual missile trajectories follow ballistic arcs or terrain-hugging cruise profiles, and real flight paths may be longer. Ballistic missile speeds vary significantly across flight phases (boost, midcourse, terminal); the speed shown is a representative average. Shahed-136 drones typically fly indirect routes through Iraqi/Jordanian airspace, extending actual travel time.
