In an exhibition held on Sunday, May 11, and attended by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, the IRGC put on display the most recent defensive achievements, including two types of Hormuz anti-ship ballistic missiles.
The Hormuz is said to be the upgraded version of a domestically-made anti-ship missile the IRGC had manufactured earlier, dubbed the Persian Gulf.
According to the IRGC lieutenant commander, the Hormuz 1 and 2 are among the “most important and most unique” missiles manufactured by the Iranian local experts.
The Persian Gulf is a solid-fuel anti-ship missile that travels at supersonic speeds, and can hit the targets within a range of 300 kilometers.
Equipped with a 650-kg warhead, the Persian Gulf has a margin of error of less than 10 meters.
The newly-unveiled Hormuz 1 and 2 are seemingly more powerful than the Persian Gulf in terms of destructive power, range and accuracy.
The Hormuz 1 and 2 carry distinct warheads, possibly a sign of the different properties of the advanced missiles in terms of destructive power and guidance.
Another modification in the Hormuz is a brand-new launcher, which represents developed capabilities in mobility, stationing on difficult terrains and rapid firing.
