Interesting theory is that the blurred missile is YJ-18C cruise missile.
It could also be the Russian-Iranian cruise missile that FT claimed Russia has been helping Iran with.
I can believe that versus a reverse engineered American missile that rapidly being built and mass produced
Recent wars in Ukraine and Iran have shown importance of low-cost cruise missiles like Paveh instead of expensive missiles like Tomohawk and KH-101.More than likely for the two stealth cruise missiles that weren’t blurred, they merely copied the body and maybe the material used. The guidance components and engine would take years to reverse engineer, unless they have top of the line AI models helping them with the work. Even then it wouldn’t happen this fast.
It’s more likely they copied the shape and slapped Iranian components and engines inside it.
Which is funny because IRGC already had a stealth cruise missile design (Mobin) revealed years ago that they refused to fund. I constantly said why don’t you fund a stealth design instead of Paveh and these other low budget cruise missiles.
Looks like once again Iran just doesn’t connect the dots fast enough and has to learn things the hard way.
