The Dehlavieh (fa|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]

History

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]

Design

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]
