PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran said Wednesday, September 28 it has begun
large-scale production of a domestically-developed cruise missile
designed for sea-based targets and capable of destroying warships.
Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said an unspecified number of the
missiles, called "Ghader," or "Capable" in Farsi, were delivered to
the Iranian military and the powerful Revolutionary Guard's naval
division, which is assigned to protect Iran's sea borders.
Vahidi said the missile, which has a range of 200 kilometers, can
travel at low altitudes and "can sink giant warships." The comments
appeared to suggest that the new missile could potentially counter
the U.S. naval presence in the Persian Gulf, AP reported.
