TEHRAN- The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has conducted a test launch of a short-range missile from high-speed vessels.

The missile, known as the Qaem-114 (Iranian Hellfire), is designed for anti-surface operations, with an estimated range of up to 20 kilometers against maritime targets.

One notable feature of the Qaem-114 is its use of smokeless fuel, enhancing the stealth capabilities of the launching vessel by reducing visibility and detection.

While the canisters for this missile have been observed on IRGC Navy vessels during equipment ceremonies, this marks the first time images of the missile being fired have been made public.
