The Burkan-1 (Arabic 1 بركان) or Volcano-1[3] (also spelled as Borkan 1[4] and Burqan 1[5]) is a mobile short-range ballistic missile used by the Houthis in Yemen. It is related to the Scud missile family.[6]

Development

Houthi forces unveiled the Burkan-1 when it was fired on 2 September 2016.[1][2] According to Saudi Arabia, the missile and related Volcano H-2 are of Iranian origin, with USAF Lt. General Jeffrey L. Harrigian, Commander, Air Force's Central Command in Qatar, agreeing.[6][7]

Design

The Burkan-1 is a member of the Scud family.[6] Analysts identify it as being based on either the Scud-B[8] or Scud-D[3] missile. Its range is greater than the Soviet-made Scuds Yemen possessed as of 2015, suggesting that the missile is not of Yemeni origin.[2][9] Elements of the missile's design — including the inertial guidance system, fins, and control surfaces — are identical to those of the Qiam 1, leading several analysts and the U.S. State Department to believe that the missile is an Iranian-made Qiam 1.[3][10] The Burkan-1 carries a warhead weighing more than {{convert|500|kg|lbs|order=flip}}.[2]

Operational history

The Burkan-1 was first fired on 2 September 2016, aimed at King Fahad Air Base in Taif, with Houthi sources claiming a successful hit but Saudi Arabia claiming there was no damage.[2][11] On 27 October 2016, another missile was fired, but destroyed in mid-air by a Saudi Patriot missile before reaching its target. According to the Saudi-led coalition the target was Mecca, but according to the Houthis the target was King Abdulaziz International Airport, near Jeddah.[12] On 28 July 2017, another missile was fired on a similar trajectory and intercepted in mid-air, leading to Saudi Arabia again claiming the target was Mecca and the Houthis claiming the target was King Fahad Air Base.[13]
