The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy received a significant upgrade to its naval capabilities as the Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics of Iran delivered the Qadir and Nasir cruise missiles, Mehr news agency reported today. 

The Qadir cruise missile is assessed to be capable of effectively targeting and destroying marine assets with high precision and accuracy. A notable characteristic of the missile is that it can be launched from both coastal installations and naval vessels.

The Nasir cruise missile exhibits high readiness and rapid reaction speed. It flies at a low flight altitude while maintaining precise navigation and targeting capabilities. The missile's advanced radar system also grants it exceptional anti-jamming ability, adding an extra layer of reliability and efficiency to its performance.

Last week, it was also reported that the IRGC navy received a locally Fath missile system.

The missile is satellite-guided, capable of reaching speeds of up to 4 Mach, and can carry a 150kg warhead, according to the listed specifications of the older model.
