The Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics of the Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently strived to enhance the country's military deterrence by developing advanced defense technologies. In this regard, one of the latest achievements of this ministry is the anti-helicopter and micro-drone jumping mine, which was unveiled during the Great Prophet 19 military exercise. The Great Prophet 19 exercise was held in the Iranian year 1401 (corresponding to 2022). This exercise is one of the largest and most significant military drills in Iran, conducted annually with the participation of the Islamic Republic's armed forces, including the Army, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Police Force, and other defense institutions. This mine, with its unique capabilities, is an effective weapon for countering aerial threats, particularly enemy helicopters and drones. These mines typically operate automatically and are capable of detecting, tracking, and destroying aerial targets.

The Hoveyzeh cruise missile is a highly advanced achievement in Iran’s defense industry, with features such as its effective range of 1,300 kilometers, high precision, and the ability to target a wide range of objectives. Compared to Russian cruise missiles, it has a shorter range than missiles like Kalibr and Yakhont, but it is still a valuable asset in Iran’s defense strategy, particularly for land-based operations and deterrence.
The Masaaf rifle, produced in Iran, was initially developed in the 1990s with the aim of providing a domestically manufactured weapon with capabilities similar to modern foreign firearms.
