Iran: January 28, 2005

Chinese missile manufacturers are offering for sale missiles identical to ones Iran had earlier presented as Iranian designs. The Chinese developed the three missiles and secretly sold them to Iran. The C-701 anti-ship missile has a range of 25 kilometers, and a radar homing system. This missile could be easily defeated by most Western warships, but would be lethal against commercial ships. The other two missiles, the Kosar and Nasr, are cruise missiles.
