Meshkat (missile)

The Meshkat (Persian: مشکات , Lantern) is a medium range cruise missile built by Iran.

Iranian media quoted Iran's deputy defense minister on September 9, 2012, that a medium range cruise missile will be revealed soon. The missile can be fired from ground, air and sea and will have a range of 2000 km.

The missile is possibly a reverse engineered version of Kh-55 that Iran obtained from Ukraine in 2001 or an extension to a drone design called Karrar which was revealed in 2010.^{[citation needed]}
