IRAN – Iran’s Talaeiyeh cruise missile has become new ammunition for the navy since the end of 2023. Apart from cruise missiles, Tehran also received a number of ammunition and other fleets.
Reporting from Reuters, reconnaissance helicopters, drones and sea cruise missiles are among the new weapons added to the navy’s arsenal that have been designed and produced by Iran’s military industry.
These Iranian-made missiles and drones are expected to become key elements in Tehran’s military hardware. However, western analysts say Iran sometimes overestimates its capabilities.
Specifications of Iran’s Talaeiyeh Cruise Missile
State media said the Talaeiyeh cruise missile had a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
Iranian Navy Commander Admiral Shahran Irani who said the weapon is a “smart missile that can change targets in the middle of a mission.”
The missiles were sent to a naval base in the southern Iranian port of Konarak, southeast of the capital, Tehran.
Iran says it has a stockpile of various types of missiles with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), capable of reaching bases of arch-rivals Israel and the US in the region.
The arrival comes amid rising regional tensions between Tehran and Iran-backed militant groups on the one hand, and Israel and its Western allies over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
At the same time, Iran is also facing Western accusations that Tehran has sent drones to attack a Liberian-flagged chemical tanker in the Indian Ocean.
However, Tehran denied these accusations, as well as their involvement in planning Houthi attacks on commercial ships.
