The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy unveiled its new “Rajab 27th” high-speed watercraft during a public gathering in Tehran last week.

The ‘Rajab 27th’ is a fast attack watercraft featuring a trimaran hull design, which enhances stability and maneuverability in challenging maritime conditions, Mehr news agency reported.

The speedboat is capable of launching two sea-based cruise missiles with a range of 700 kilometers, Mehr noted.

The vessel is also designed to conduct operations in sea states with wave heights of up to three meters while maintaining high maneuverability.

The unveiling of the new speedboat highlights the continued development of the IRGC Navy’s fast-attack and missile-equipped maritime capabilities, which play a key role in Iran’s naval defense strategy and operations in southern waters, Mehr added. (Mehr; Photo © Fars)
