Iran supplies missile speedboats to Venezuela

Venezuela - Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's close relations with the Iranian rulers are bearing fruit: although they are small, the two PEYKAAP III missile speedboats are not entirely without bite. One visit from the Iranian naval grouping circumnavigating the western world at the beginning of the year, and Venezuela already has the destabilising pinprick platforms with sea target FC, which were presented to the public as GOLETA EMPRENDEDORA and GOLETA INDEPENDENCIA at the end of July to mark the 200th anniversary of the Armada Bolivariana de Venezuela. They are 17 metres long and, at 14 tonnes, are real lightweights. Their two sea targets, FK Kowsar or Nasr, fly at subsonic speed and have a range of 21 nautical miles. The boats' 2400 hp engines give them very high manoeuvrability and a speed of over 50 knots. On land and in the air, Iranian multiple rocket launchers and drones complement the armoury of the Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venezuela.
