Against the background of the arrival of the second US Navy aircraft carrier to the Middle East to support Israel, Hezbollah has introduced Noor anti-ship missiles.
The group has published a video showing the launchers at its disposal with the aforementioned PKRS. This is probably another warning for the United States, which is very actively supporting Israel in its operations in the Gaza Strip.

Recall that Noor is an Iranian–made cruise anti-ship missile. In fact, it is a copy of the Chinese C-802.
The missile is equipped with a semi-armor-piercing warhead weighing 155 kg and is capable of hitting targets at a distance of 120 km, while developing a speed of up to 0.9 Mach numbers.
It is worth noting that Hezbollah has already noted a number of episodes with the use of the aforementioned weapons.
During one of them, according to open sources, the Lebanese group struck an Israeli corvette URO "Hanit" of the "Eilat" type with the help of Noor in 2006. It is important to note that the latter is the most powerful ship of the IDF Navy and is armed with an air defense system.
As a result of the incident, the Khanit was not sunk. The hangar was severely damaged, but the ship returned to its home base under its own power.
Tellingly, the IDF then refused to recognize the defeat of its ship by the Iranian PKR.
