Iran has developed the "Hormuz" missile

Iranian specialists have developed the "Hormuz" missile, which homes in on sources of radar emissions and is designed to destroy enemy radar stations.

As reported by Fars, this was stated by Ali Balali, advisor to the commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, elite units of Iran's Armed Forces).

"The 'Hormuz' missile has been developed to counter radar systems and possesses the ability to home in on sources of radar emissions," the Iranian agency quotes him as saying.

According to Balali, one area of success for Iranian specialists is the development of missiles that use radar emissions to detect and destroy enemy radar equipment. This, as he noted, demonstrates that Iran's missile industry has moved beyond the stage of reproducing existing technologies and is capable of creating new weapons tailored to battlefield requirements.

The "Hormuz" family of missiles was created based on the Fateh and was unveiled in the 2010s: "Hormuz-1" is equipped with a passive anti-radiation homing seeker, while "Hormuz-2" features an active radar homing head.
