Wondering if it was a lucky shot or some kind of precision strike? Especially given the claim tha only one rocket was fired.

Well they had done it before, so it's not strange for them to be able to carry out such strikes. And they probably have access to some newer guided rockets from iran.

However, as we saw with Ashura/Sejill/Sejill II, sometimes difficulty in mass production forces a smaller amount being built even though a newer “generation” appears shortly after the first.

Sejil is a special purpose asset in Irans missile arsenal.
As two stage and limited lifetime weapon, it is the most expensive missile Iran has.

It has been serial produced since long time but not in the numbers of Ghadr.

Khorramshahr replaces the payload of 3 Ghadrs. Hence even if its production is way more difficult than the Ghadr it will be a more economical weapon system. It is maybe the best small sized tactical missile in terms of price and effect for Iran.

Everyone should always remember this:
A 1998 lot Shahab-3 sits since 22 years in a mountain tunnel in a vacuum plastic bag.
A 2009 production lot Sejil-1 needs in at least 3-4 years a total fuel replacement for two stages.

Sejil is there and fulfills a special role.
Khorramshahr will replace Ghadr in the liquid missile production factory sooner or later completely.

What a great picture:

This has just made my day. Thank you brother. Finally we have confirmation that a supersonic air breathing AshM is coming soon.
Are we sure he said "turbofan"? I expect supersonic system to be of the ramjet nature.

SCOT?

The 3M-54 Kalibr missile actually uses a turbo jet engine and can reach a speed of mach 2.9. So it's possible to use a turbo jet engine, and probably a turbo fan engine as well.
Also there is a chance it might be a reverse engineered Kalibr missile.

We had both ramjet and Turbofan on the edge of blossoming. Excellent anyway!

From what I understand, the Kalibr missile is a 2 stage system. It flies at subsonic speed using its jet engine and then when near the target, a second solid fuelled stage takes over and pushes the missile into supersonic speed.
I will wait for clarification before conjecturing further. I will certainly be surprised if they go with a turbofan solution. This is an incredible news regardless of the details.

If we mount Fajr series on Karrar, we can attain that technology. Drone launching solid fuel missile. Karrar has 900 kg of payload.
