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.
| 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 |
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.
