Iran’s Navy Equipped with Mass Supplies of Qadir Cruise Missiles
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A large cargo of Iran’s homegrown long-range naval missile “Qadir” was delivered to the country’s Navy on Sunday.
In a ceremony on Sunday morning, Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan officially delivered the cargo of the anti-ship cruise missiles to the Navy.
As regards the features of the new missile, Dehqan said it has short set up and reaction time, flies in low altitudes with high navigation capabilities, hits the targets precisely with great destructive power, and suits for electronic warfare.
Qadir can be launched from various types of vessels and even a helicopter, helping extend its operational range.
The previous videos of the Qadir show it identifying and annihilating a naval target at a distance of 300 kilometers away from the coast.
The domestically-made cruise naval missile was already unveiled in August 2014 by President Hassan Rouhani.
In recent years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and has attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.
Tehran has repeatedly assured other nations that its military might poses no threat to the regional countries, saying that the Islamic Republic’s defense doctrine is entirely based on deterrence.
