The Al Fahd 300 was an Iraqi solid-propelled short-range ballistic missile[1][2] that was based on the Soviet S-75 Dvina surface-to-air missile.[1] Its expected range was 300 km, which violated the limits provided by UNSC 687 which stipulated that Iraq was only allowed to have missiles with a range lower than 150 km.[2] The missile project was thus halted and declared abandoned by 1993.[citation needed]
