Iran is buying ship-destroying cruise missiles from China

The United States has deployed the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea to attack Iran. Even the world's largest warships, Gerald R. Ford, used for the same purpose, are being taken near the waters of the Islamic Republic. They have already arrived in the Mediterranean Sea. US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to destroy Iran with these two ships. However, no matter how threatening Washington presents these warships, Tehran has always said that it is useless.

The United States itself, including its allies, have been thinking about this issue for a long time. Why is Iran not afraid of America, and why is Tehran not surrendering to Washington - these questions are now on the lips of Pentagon and White House officials. Amidst such discussions, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently said that Tehran is not afraid of US warships, because they have more powerful weapons that can sink these gigantic warships at sea.

While everyone is worried about this issue, US military experts are wondering what kind of weapons Iran has that have strengthened them mentally in addition to their military capabilities? Secret contract information has been released.

Iran is buying ship-destroying cruise missiles from China. The two countries have already reached the final stage of the agreement on this matter. This information was published by the news agency Reuters, citing six people familiar with the discussions.

The report says that Iran is buying the country's CM-302 ship-destroying supersonic cruise missile from China.

Two military experts say that after receiving this missile, Iran's ability to destroy any weapon at sea, including warships, will increase manifold.

How powerful is the CM-302 cruise missile?

The CM-302 is a supersonic anti-ship missile made in China. It is a ship-destroying missile. This missile is considered one of the most powerful defense systems on the battlefield.

This missile is an export version of China's YJ-12 supersonic anti-ship cruise missile. Which the country sells to its allies.

The CM-302 is also quite advanced in terms of capabilities and efficiency, which can scare the enemy. It has been specially prepared to fly low and at high speed to avoid ship-based defense systems. In addition, its operational range is about 290 km.

The missile is also quite easy to use. This method can be used from land-based mobile stations, ships and aircraft. It can be launched from all three stations.
