Hormuz-2 (missile) (Persian: موشک هرمز-2)[2][3][4] is an Iranian[5][6] naval (strike) ballistic missile[7][8] which is able to hit floating-targets at sea with high accuracy. The range of this Iranian missile is approximately 300 km.[9] It was revealed in a defense exhibition on 11 May 2014[1] and is believed to be an Anti-radiation derivative of Fateh-110 tactical ballistic missile having Terminal guidance instead of Electro-Optical guidance[1].
In March 2017, it was reported that this domestically-made ballistic missile dubbed “Hormuz-2” was fired;[10] and according to Amir Ali Hajizadeh, (Aerospace Division commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps): Hormuz-2 successfully destroyed a target from a distance of 250 kilometers.[11]
Hormuz-2's[12][13][14] appearance is mentioned to be very similar to the missile of Persian Gulf (Khalije-Fars) which is a supersonic quasi ballistic anti-ship missile, which is reported to be able of targeting warships.[15][16][17][18]
