The Iranian Navy is going to equip its naval destroyer warships with Abu Mahdi cruise missiles which can handle electronic warfare and outperforms other missiles with similar ranges.
The Iranian Navy’s commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani announced the news in a recent TV interview. This missile can perform well in the electronic warfare space. The tests on this missile have been carried out, and the enemy also knows about its capabilities.
Iran stated that it has doubled the capacity for using surface-to-surface cruise missiles and that its destroyers will now be armed with eight cruise missile launchers.
The naval destroyers have also been equipped with Navvab mid-range surface-to-air missile system, while the Iranian ‘Sahand’ destroyer and other naval war defense vessels have been armed with point-defense systems.
The Abu Mahdi anti-ship cruise missile, which was unveiled at the same time as the Haj Qasem ballistic missile on August 20, 2020, has the ability to launch from a variety of offshore and ground platforms to engage its targets.
The Iranian admiral further stated that the sonar systems of the submarines have been significantly upgraded.
The high range of the missile and the use of advanced satellite navigation systems make it possible to be launched from a greater depth, which makes it difficult for the enemy to spot the launchers before firing.
The Navy chief expects that the Damavand home-build destroyer will also join the naval fleet on November 28, 2022.
Only three countries in the world, the USA, Russia and China, have anti-ship cruise missiles with a range of over 1000 km, and Iran has become the fourth country to have this unique technology.
Before the development of Abu-Mahdi, most long-range Iranian cruise missiles were Raad missiles with a range of 350 km and Qadir missile whose range is 300 kilometers.
These two features make it possible for Abu Mahdi missiles to choose different routes to reach a target and even attack the enemy vessel from the opposite side.

Shi’ite Iran stands for the minority of Islam, as this part of the movement only represents about 15% of the Muslims. The largest part are the Sunni’s which are used to oppress the Arab/Palestinian community. Even places like Mecca and Medina are owned by these Zionist thugs, waiting for the Dome on the Temple mount to be removed in order for the Messiah to stand up according to Judaism?
Yes I realise the Sunni sect is a minority and that’s why Israel is doing its best to cause a split in Muslim loyalty the same as the USA tried to stop India from doing business with Russia– that failed and the USA using tensions between China and India to its own advantage and the USA trying to split up Russia and China . According to Judaism the “Messiah ” has still to come that’s why some religious Jewish sects support the Palestinians as –according to them –Israel as a nation has no right to exist until he does appear… Read more »
Yes, agreed. Palestinians and real Jews are genetically proven to be the decendants of Abraham. Khazarica Zionist are genetically European.
