Hormuz-1 (Persian: موشک هرمز-۱) is an Iranian anti-radar ballistic missile[8] which has the capability of destroying radars on aircraft carrier, MIM-104 Patriot missile sites and air defence or search radar sites, according to Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, former commander of the Air Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.[9]
Hormuz-1[10][11][12] has been made by Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran (designed by General Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam), and is capable of annihilating a 20-foot container from a distance of 300 kilometers.[13]
According to the commander of the Revolutionary Guards Air Force and also based on its similarity to the Khalije-Fars and Fateh-110 missiles, it is estimated that the range of the Hormuz-1 is 300 kilometers, and its speed is 4 to 5 mach. The Hormuz-1 is capable of carrying a warhead weight of about 600 kilograms. It mainly targets moving targets at sea.[9]
