The Dehlavieh ( Persian: دهلاویه) (also Dehlavie, Dehlaviyeh, etc) is an Iranian anti-tank guided missile made by the Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics (Iran). [5] [6]
It is considered to be an unlicensed copy of the 9M133 Kornet, which has the same guidance, outer appearance and published performance. [7]
In March 2023, it's reported that several Dehlaviehs were confiscated by American and British troops from being transported to the Houthis. [8] The incident took place in February 2023 after an American aircraft conducted surveillance on a small boat coming from Iran. [9]
The Dehlavieh has a range of 5–6 km which was reportedly extended to 8 km (for both its air and ground launched versions) as of 2023. [10] [11] [12] Its armor penetration is said to be more than 1,000 mm. [13]
In 2018, it's reported that the Dehlavieh can have the “RU244TK” and “RU150TK” thermal imaging cameras attached. [14]
