Navy Commander: 3 Missile Systems Mounted on Overhauled Warship

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran has mounted Nour (Light), Qader (Mighty) and long-range Qadr (Magnitude) missile systems on its newly overhauled and modernized Corvette named Shaheed Bayandor, Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari announced on Tuesday.

Sayyari made the remarks in a ceremony to launch the newly overhauled corvette in Iran's territorial waters in the Southern port of Bandar Abbas.

Anti-ship Nour and Qader cruise missile systems are ultra-advanced and self-relying systems which have remarkably improved in radar, satellite, precision, range and navigation terms compared to their predecessors.

Sayyari also elaborated on other optimization measures adopted to overhaul and modernize the corvette, and said "mount of 76-mm and 46-mm artilleries and some other special systems are among the other measures taken to renovate and modernize the warship".

"The 40-mm cannon mounted on the warship is also among advanced artilleries in air defense," he stressed.
