^ Navab's SAM appears to be similar in shape to Umkhonto-R/IR:

"What kind of weapon can you put on a speedboat?"
IRGC-N: "Yes."

Possibly a Almas Spike-NLOS equivalent?

Not sure to be honest,could be,there are few missiles in Iran inventory that have this kind of guidance section... AScM and ATGMs

As far as I can remember, SA refused to sell us Umkhonto.

But the similarity is undeniable.

Tangsiri says that S.Mahdavi warship is capable of firing 2,000 KM missiles. But didn't specify what kind of missiles. Cruise or ballistic?

He said that this ship can fire the mentioned missiles any where/ every where.

Great achievement. Diego Garcia is the main target.

Likely a cruise missile. Maybe an improved Abu Mahdi ASCM or Hoveizeh/Paveh LACM variant, if Iran managed to reverse-engineer Kh-55's R95TP-300 turbofan engine.

These did look like Falaq tubes at first, but thankfully they appear to be the size of a falaq but guided. Dangerous salvo potential

What radar systems does the Shahid Mahdavi ship have? There are no discernible missiles (other than the typical subsonic c-802 derivatives) although those may be hidden in the containers.

New air defense ship are darker in color than ordinary ship.
*The white small boats are painted white on purpose because they are used for patrolling.
Normally, colors that are too dark to blend in with the relatively light ocean colors are to be avoided.
It seems likely that radar absorbing paint is used.
The windows also seem to be made of a different mat material than the other boats, a material that does not reflect light as much.

BM.

Iran has already tested MRBM on anti ship role in last 5-10 years. Look at the tests conducted in Indian Ocean, I believe they used either Emad variant or Sejil.

Likely a cruise missile. Maybe an improved Abu Mahdi ASCM or Hoveizeh/Paveh LACM variant, if Iran managed to reverse-engineer Kh-55's R95TP-300 turbofan engine.

CM doesn’t make sense. Way too slow, by the time it arrives the ship could be literally anywhere from its original point.

A BM would arrive between <10 mins later. Much more manageable

 

[Shawnee]

Why Almas NLOS and not Missile 358?
Maybe 358 is on a platforms never shown so far.

More photos of the FACs delivered (also knows as Red Hornets ) 95 of them this time..which makes my counts of FACs delivered publically so far close to 800..

I took the text from IRNA description of the ship..As you said it is possible that the retrofit is still ongoing..

I see this equally as Iranians industrial might. That’s what observers will glean as well if they were smart.

Interesting theory

Not sure if radar absorbing paint can be used in a salt water setting. Would need to be reapplied constantly I feel like due to salt water degrading it.
