Iran has begun using hybrid missiles to significantly reduce costs while maintaining the same level of destructive power.
In the image on the right, an advanced warhead called the Kheyber Shekan can be seen mounted on a cheaper booster called the Hajj Qassem, which is much easier to produce.
In the image on the left, a hypersonic warhead called the Fattah is mounted on a Hajj Qassem booster.
The new hybrid missiles have become the nightmare of US forces, since they don't follow the trajectory of a "normal" ICBM and change direction and targets multiple times during the re-entry, making it hard, close to impossible to intercept.

Kheibar Shekan: workhorse of Iran's missile arsenal with a fitting name
In 628 CE, Muhammad's outnumbered and logistically outmatched forces conquered the heavily fortified Jewish oasis of Kheibar in Arabia using complex, asymmetric siege warfare tactics. The victory was a defining moment in his military career, and one of the most impressive conquests of Late Antiquity.
👉 Fourteen hundred years later, the Iranians named a missile after the battle — the Kheibar Shekan (lit. 'Castle Buster' or 'Fortress Breaker') — and have been using it extensively to pummel US and Israeli forces across the region ever since.
The road-mobile, single-stage, shoot-and-scoot, solid-propellant missile has a 1,400 km range, a 500-550 kg high-explosive payload, a maneuverable reentry vehicle, and advanced satellite and active terminal guidance. The payload accelerates to speeds up to Mach 10 in the terminal phase, making interception next to impossible.
