Iran has unveiled its latest addition to its military arsenal: the Arman, a new air-launched ballistic missile (ALBM). Showcased at an exhibition by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) aerospace division, the Arman represents a significant step forward in Iran’s military technology and poses potential strategic implications for the region.
The Arman is mounted on a Su-22 aircraft in the released images, suggesting its integration into existing fighter jets. It is reportedly adapted from the Ababil (al-Fat’h) short-range ballistic missile, indicating a repurposing of existing technology for air-to-ground capabilities.This move is reminiscent of the Russian Kinzhal ALBM, highlighting Iran’s potential attempt to develop similar high-speed, maneuverable weapons.
