A naval mine variant of the Fadjr-5 rocket has been reported during recent Iranian naval exercises
The rocket is launched by a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), with the warhead assumed to detach during flight
The warhead is believed to incorporate a proximity fuze
A section of the warhead remains below the surface, likely providing buoyancy
The use of an MLRS allows for rapid mining of an area, such as the Strait of Hormuz, from land-based mobile launcher
Munition: Fadjr-5
