Lieutenant Commander of the IRGC Navy General Alireza Tangsiri told Fars News Agency on Monday the missiles will enable the naval forces to target enemy ships in a range of 200 km.
He further said the IRGC also equipped its Mil Mi-17 helicopters with 150-km range missiles.
Arming Iranian ships, aircraft and choppers with 200-km range Qader cruise missiles will boost the Iranian Armed Forces’ power to combat and repel naval threats, military analysts say.
Iran unveiled its 200-km range Qader anti-ship cruise missile in 2011.
The powerful missile is under mass production at the Iranian defense industries.
The missile enjoys automatic digital pilot system, high-precision navigation systems, high-precision striking capability, anti-jamming radar systems and a rapid deployment capability.
