In March 2017, it was reported that this domestically made ballistic missile dubbed “Hormuz-2” was fired.[8]

Hormuz-2's[9][10][11] appearance is mentioned to be very similar to the missile of Persian Gulf (Khalije-Fars) which is a supersonic quasi ballistic anti-ship missile, which is reported to be able of targeting warships.[12][13][14][15]
