Zitat:New ballistic missile types delivered to IRGC

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) officially received what appeared to be its first Khorramshahr and Haj Qasem ballistic missiles in a ceremony attended by President Ebrahim Raisi to mark the Defence Industry Day on 22 August.

Six liquid-fuel Khorramshahrs were shown with three solid-propellant Haj Qasems on either side during the ceremony, all of them on transporter erector launchers (TELs). The Khorramshahr was unveiled in September 2017 and two other versions have since been displayed, most recently the Khorramshahr-4 in May, but this was the first handover ceremony for the missile series that has been publicised.

The missiles all had the same large re-entry vehicle (RV) seen on the original version rather than smaller one seen on the Khorramshahr-2 or the powered one on the Khorramshahr-4. IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh has claimed the original Khorramshahr has a range of 2,000 km with an 1,800 kg warhead, although European experts have said its warhead weighs 1,500 kg, which still makes it Iran's most powerful ballistic missile.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Navy (IRIN) held a ceremony on 24 December to induct new equipment that included an anti-ship missile called the Talaiyeh, which is said to have a range of more than 1,000 km.

Iranian media coverage showed a Talaiyeh on display next to a mobile launcher at the naval base in Konarak, the headquarters of the IRIN's third region. It appeared to be the same type of missile as the one unveiled in August 2020, the Abu Mahdi, which is presumed to be the anti-ship variant of the long-range land-attack cruise missiles Iran has developed from the Soviet Kh-55s it is known to have obtained.

The Abu Mahdi was officially inducted into service by both the IRIN and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) in July 2023, when several were displayed during a ceremony.

Zitat:Iran Unveils New Home-Made Air Defense Missile Systems Amid Regional Tensions

On February 17, 2024, Iran unveiled two advanced home-made military missile systems, marking a notable escalation in the country's defense readiness amidst increasing regional unrest. The unveiling ceremony, attended by Defence Minister Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, showcased the Arman anti-ballistic missile system and the Azarakhsh low-altitude air defense missile system, both indigenously developed and vehicle-mounted. [...]

The Arman missile system, with its capability to engage six targets simultaneously within a range of 120km to 180km, represents a leap forward in Iran's anti-ballistic capabilities. On the other hand, the Azarakhsh system specializes in low-altitude defense, capable of identifying and neutralizing targets up to 50km away with its four ready-to-fire missiles. These systems are expected to enhance the Islamic Republic of Iran's air defense capabilities substantially, providing a robust shield against aerial threats.
