U.S. officials: Syria using more accurate, Iranian-made missiles

Washington (CNN) -- The Syrian regime this week fired at least two Iranian-made, short-range ballistic missiles in what appears to be an effort to more precisely target Syrian rebels, two U.S. military officials tell CNN.

The Fateh A-110 missiles are more accurate than the older Scud variants that Syrian government forces have used in recent weeks

The U.S. military officials declined to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information. The Iranian government has not commented on the issue.

The Fateh trades range for accuracy. It can travel about 125 miles, while the Scud can go about 185 miles. But the Fateh has a "circular error probable" or -- CEP -- of 330 feet, while the Scud's CEP is 1,480 feet. CEP is defined as the radius of a circle in which half of a missile's lethal payload falls and is the standard measure of a missile's accuracy.

Wiki says Syria is operating 2004 version of Fateh-110, although other reports are claiming that Syria, with the assistance of Iran, was developing the newer generation of the Fateh:

The latest 4th generation of Fateh which was unveiled in July, can target small spots precisely,and 330 feet belongs to 1st generation of it and is not that good.
