Iran successfully test fired the Qader anti-ship cruise missile during a 10-day naval exercise in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, according to Iran's Fars news agency. During the exercise, codenamed 'Velayat 90,' Iran also test-fired both the Nasr, a shorter-ranged anti-ship missile, and the Mehrab, a naval surface-to-air missile. Both the Qader and the Mehrab are reported to be designed with radar-absorbent coatings.
