At the end of July, the Iranian Navy announced the start of deliveries to the fleet of a new Abu Mahdi anti-ship missile. This long-range weapon is capable, according to official reports, of hitting sea and ground targets at a distance of up to 1000 km, which is more than twice the flight distance of the QADIR and RAAD missile systems currently in service with the country.

The new product is equipped with countermeasures that make it immune to electronic warfare, and is equipped with AI to perform evasive maneuvers, calculate the optimal path and trajectory of breaking through enemy defenses.

As indicated in the RID publication, the product is equipped with a modified French small-sized TRI-60-2 turbojet engine (probably in the local version of TOLOUE-4), which, in particular, is installed on such missiles as Storm Shadow / SCALP EG, RBS-15.

Although Abu Mahdi is positioned as a "new" weapon, it basically represents a further development of the Soviet X-55 missile, which appeared in Iran due to the sale of a batch of X-55s by Ukraine in 2002

- it is called in the Italian press the "first principle" of Tehran's missile program in the segment of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Iran has already designed a whole family of missiles based on the X-55, and work in this direction continues at an accelerated pace. So, the creation of Abu Mahdi began only in 2020, and already this year the fleet began to receive a new PKR for service.
