Zelzal-2/Mushak-200[1] (Persian: زلزال-۲, meaning "Earthquake") is an Iranian unguided long-range artillery rocket.[2] The Zelzal-2 is a 610 mm truck-launched rocket that has a payload of 600 kg and a range of about 200 km. Development of the Zelzal series began in 1990 and the Zelzal-2 was first shown in 1998.[3] It is developed from the Zelzal-1 and was developed into the Zelzal-3. It has been exported to Syria, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, and has seen combat use in the Syrian Civil War and Yemeni Civil War.[4][5][6]
The rocket is thought to be based on the Soviet 9K52 Luna-M rocket.[5][1]
