The rocket is based off of the Zelzal-2 missile.[1] The rocket has been used in the Syrian Civil War as the M-600.[4] It was also the reason Turkey was given 2 missile defense systems by America in the year 2012.[5][4] The missiles are also used by Hizbullah since 2014 after the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps gave them a unknown amount of rockets.[6] It was also previously claimed by Mossad that Syria was giving Hizbullah their M-600 missiles.[7] The missiles have also been sent to Russia but they have not utilized the rockets as of March 2024.[8]
