Iranian-made Yassin missiles were spotted mounted on Armenian Air Force fighter aircraft during Armenia's latest military parade on Thursday (28 May), drawing attention from defence observers and regional analysts.
Images from the parade showed fighter jets carrying what appeared to be Yassin guided munitions, a system developed by Iran's defence industry and designed for precision strikes against targets at extended ranges.
The Yassin system is officially described by Iran as a guided aerial bomb and missile system capable of striking targets from long distances.
According to publicly available specifications released by Iranian authorities, the weapon can engage targets more than 50 kilometres away and has an effective flight range of up to 120 kilometres.
The system is equipped with satellite navigation and internal guidance technology, enabling precision targeting after launch.
Neither Armenian nor Iranian officials immediately commented on the missiles displayed during the parade.
