On July 7, Iran held a ceremony that saw the delivery of modern equipment and weapons to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Ground Force.
For the first time, Iran unveiled the ground-launched version of the “Almas” anti-tank guided missile (ATGM). Previously, an air-launched version of the Almas ATGM, with a range of the 8 kilometers, was shown last year. These missiles were adopted as part of the weapons complex of the Iranian reconnaissance and strike UAVs.
Almas’ ground-launcher is almost an identical copy of the Israeli Spike ATGM.
