The Qaher-1 (Arabic: قاهر-1, meaning "Subduer-1") is originally a Soviet SA-2 missile that was developed locally by the Houthis to be a two-stage surface to surface missile, with one stage using liquid fuel and the other solid fuel.[2] It was unveiled in December 2015.[1] The Houthis have also developed another variant known as Qaher-M2.[3]
