Iran Showcases Naval Cruise Missile Capabilities in Drill

The main phase of the Iranian Navy’s “Sustainable Power 1404” war game kicked off in southern Iran on Thursday, August 21.

Various types of naval cruise missiles with different ranges, such as ‘Nasir’ and ‘Qadir’, were fired from the coast and the Navy’s vessels to hit targets in the Oman Sea and the northern regions of the Indian Ocean.

The naval forces also employed the ‘Velayat-II’ onshore system to fire ‘Qader’ coast-to-sea anti-ship missiles.

The drill is attended by the Navy’s surface and subsurface units, flight units, shore-to-sea missile sites, sea-based missile sites, and electronic warfare units.

Iran’s Armed Forces hold routine military exercises throughout the year.

Iranian officials have repeatedly underscored that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will never be subject to negotiations.
